Soviet commissar...what a white wash, makes him sound like some pencil pushing bureaucrat.
Bastard was one of the worst of the worst Chekist/NKVD heads....”chief of the Soviet security police (NKVD) from 1936 to 1938, administered the most severe stage of the great purges, known as Yezhovshchina (or Ezhovshchina).”
His peers’ nickname for him was “The Evil Dwarf”.
