Narrative:

Ivan Serov was born in 1905 in Vologda province into a peasant family. At the age of 18, the yesterday's schoolboy had already become head of the Zamoshskoye village council in Kadnikovsky uyezd, and now it seemed that Serov's career would be closely linked to the executive branch.

However, fate ordered otherwise. After being drafted into the Red Army in 1925, Ivan Serov decides to link his life with military service and enters the Leningrad Infantry School.

Having passed all the steps of the career ladder from a soldier to the chief of staff of an artillery regiment, Serov enters the Frunze Military Academy for further advancement in military service. However, fate again disposes otherwise and after the academy, Serov is sent to serve in the state security agencies, where he will go from the head of the district police department to the head of one of the best special services in the world.

On March 13, the KGB (Committee for State Security) of the USSR was established and Serov was the first head of this formidable agency. This was the peak of Ivan Serov's career, and from 1958 his rapid downward slide would begin.

First, he will go with a demotion to the post of head of the GRU (Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff), and then after the exposure of military intelligence officer Penkovsky in working for the Western intelligence services, Serov will be sent to head military schools in the Turkestan Military District. And soon he was expelled from the Party and stripped of the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union"

Even after Khrushchev's ouster, Serov was never able to regain his former honors and titles....
