The Cheka were established after the Revolution and were formed after the Bolsheviks declared the Red Terror in response to the White Terror. The Cheka were a sort of political police who would investigate the activities of suspected Tsarist supporters and fighters and arrest them and possibly execute them if they were found to indeed be Tsarist fighters or supporters. It is important to bear in mind that the supporters did not just think the Tsarists were good but they helped them in their war efforts against the Bolsheviks.
