About

The FED was introduced in 1934 by the socialist factory of the Dzerzhinsky Commune in Kharkov, Ukraine, then a part of the USSR. FED are the initials for F. E. Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the NKVD, the Soviet Ministry of the Interior, later known as the KGB, in honour of whom the camera is named. The factory workforce was based on youths living and working together in a commune.
