Season 3 Lazarey's obscure reference

I guess JJ or the writers know political terminology. I'm guessing that the term "Apparatchik" would be unfamiliar to everyone. Even the internet had murky definitions of the term. I had to read a few political websites to understand what it meant. ;)

Lazarey tries to explain himself “I was an Apparatchik (apparatus of the Soviet Union - a tool of a communist government) by profession, but a Romanov (Russia’s royal family) by blood. So are you. In part, that's why I staged my death, to give you the inheritance that is rightfully yours.” Sark dismisses that as “Wonderful spin.”
