Under Yezhov; the Great Purge reached its height during 1937–1938. 50-75% of the members of the Supreme Soviet and officers of the Soviet military were stripped of their positions and imprisoned; exiled to the Gulag's camps in Siberia or executed. Many ordinary Soviet citizens were accused by local Chekist troikas and punished to satisfy Stalin and Yezhov's arbitrary quotas for arrests and executions.I got a good understanding of the fate of the executioners in Russia!!!This book is very similar to the books; which has just published on by my grandfather Adrian:My Life in Bolshevik Russia Book 1My Life in Bolshevik Russia Book 2Fate of the Executioners Book 30 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
