SMERSH (Death to Spies) were the counter-intelligence departments in the Soviet Army created in 1943. The name is phonetically similar to the Russian words "смерч" (smerch) for tornado and "смерть" (smert) for death. Its activities included "filtering" the soldiers and forced labourers recovered from captivity. It was also actively involved in the capture of Soviet citizens who had been active in anti-communist armed groups fighting on the side of Nazi Germany. The book fully describes the activities and structure of this organization.
