Original Note:
Soviet NKVD Director Genrikh Yagoda oversaw part of the Great Purge, where 700K-1.2M died. Many others played roles, and his successor, Nikolai Yezhov, was responsible for most murders. The 7-10M figure is exaggerated, and whoever has heard of Yagoda's actions is subjective. https://sovietinfo.tripod.com/ELM-Repression_Statistics.pdf
