Challenge #04631-L247: The Wolf You Don't See

Comrade Dvochev has been a ruthless enforcer of the revolution. Royals and their dogs, Bourgeoisie and their mercenaries, Traitors to the cause and their foolish hangers on, even Old Friends and their families.

But now the boss’s eye is falling on Dvochev himself. Might be time to take a long vacation overseas and get lost while doing so, as retirement packages for those in his position are usually measured in caliber… -- Deathshead419

The mistake that all revolutionary idealists make, the same mistake of every authoritarion does. They believe, heartfelt, that the world would be a better place if people just behaved. And then they micromanage exactly what "good behaviour" means and then enforcing it by law.

Thus, revolutions and authoritarians alike require their dogs.

Irakliy Dvochev was the Glorious Leader's attack dog, and he knew it. The most savage. The most ruthless. The most obedient. Held at the Glorious Leader's heel by nothing more than a look or a simple gesture. People who saw him were glad to, because then they knew where he was. If they couldn't see him, that meant that he could be behind them, or at your house... doing things to their family and friends.
