Has "Iron" Felix Dzerzhinsky been affected by post-traumatic embitterment disorders?

Retrospective psycho-historical personality analysis of "Iron" Felix Dzerzhinsky presents an opportunity to evaluate development and progression of events and behaviors associated with the killing of hundreds of thousands during the "Red Terror". A biopsychosocial assessment provides evidence suggestive of the presence of post-traumatic embitterment disorder (PTED) as an underlying pathological catalyst for his actions. The introduction of PTED as a possible psychopathology leading to such violent and destructive events promotes the significance of understanding the diagnosis and how negative events may lead to maladaptive behaviors on a broad scale.
