A "politruk" is a term that originated in the Soviet Union, used to refer to a political officer or a member of the Communist Party who was assigned to military units or other organizations. The primary role of a politruk was to ensure that the ideology of the Communist Party was adhered to, to promote party policies, and to maintain political loyalty among the ranks.
Politruks often had significant influence over decision-making processes and were responsible for political education and propaganda within their units. The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that such officers prioritized political loyalty over competence or merit.
