Gleb Ivanovich Bokii (Ukrainian: Гліб Іванович Бокій, Russian: Глеб Иванович Бокий; 21 June 1879 – 15 November 1937) was a Soviet Communist political activist, revolutionary, and paranormal investigator[1] in the Russian Empire. Following the October Revolution of 1917, Bokii became a leading member of the Cheka, the first Soviet secret police, and later of the OGPU and NKVD.
From 1921 through 1934, Bokii (alternative transliteration, Boky) headed the "special department" of the Soviet secret police apparatus. He remained a top level functionary in the secret police apparatus until his sudden arrest in May 1937 as part of the Great Terror. Following an extended investigation, Bokii was given a summary trial and executed in November of that same year. In 1956, Bokii was posthumously rehabilitated by Soviet authorities.
