Solomon Mogilevsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solomon Grigorevich Mogilevsky Соломон Григорьевич Могилевский (1885 - 1925) headed the Soviet foreign intelligence service, the INO of the GPU, from 1921 to May 1922, when he was sent to head the GPU in the South Caucasus region.
Mogilevsky died in a plane crash in 1925. There has always been a strong suspicion that a young Georgian airman who was piloting the plane crashed deliberately, killing himself, Mogilevsky and two other high-ranking officials, who had been involved in the suppression of the August Uprising in the Georgian SSR.
