Order 270 U.S.S.R. - Family of Red Army Captives Killed

[Krauter]

I remember doing some reading on Yagoda, Yezhov and Beria, the three NKVD chiefs who committed most of the purges.

I found it so ironic that the way Yezhov executed and desecrated Yagoda before and after his execution, was very similar to what Beria did to him, as well as what Beria received during his downfall!

Madness, yet in a system like this it is impossible to draw the line between friend and foe.

But I apologize, this is a little bit off topic and, if I can say so myself, one of my main interests in history (The Soviet Union) so it's easy for me to get sidetracked.

Cheers!
