Stalin's hangmen-record-breakers

"Stalinists and Soviet patriots undeservedly silent about another type of "Stakhanovites" - the executioners of the NKVD. Among them there are real record-breakers: General Vasily Blokhin personally shot 20 thousand people, Peter Maggo - 10 thousand. Most of the executioners died with their death, are buried with honors and are still honored by the siloviki.

Speaking about Stalin's repression, most often mention only the Gulag. However, he was only a part of the repressive machine. Hundreds of thousands of people before the Gulag did not survive, ending their way in the execution rooms or test sites. The NKVD (later the MGB) debugged the system of shootings, which worked like a machine.

The scale of this system is amazing. So, at the peak of repression, in 1937 353.074 people were shot - that is, almost 1 thousand a day. In 1938 it was 328.618. Further, the number of executions fell sharply (in 1939 - 2,552, 1940 - 1649, 1950 - 1609, approximately at this level until Stalin's death was the annual number of people sentenced to the WMN). Nevertheless, the firing cases of masters and in those years, the work was enough - it was necessary to execute tens of thousands of Polish officers (Katyn, Kalinin), then deserters during the Second World War.

Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin (Russian: Васи́лий Миха́йлович Блохи́н, 7 January 1895 – 3 February 1955) was a Soviet Russian Major-General who served as the chief executioner of the Stalinist NKVD under the administrations of Genrikh Yagoda, Nikolai Yezhov, and Lavrentiy Beria.

Hand-picked for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926, Blokhin led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass executions during Stalin's reign, mostly during the Great Purge and World War II.[2] He is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940,[2][3] making him the most prolific official executioner and mass murderer in recorded world history.[2][4] Forced into retirement following the death of Stalin, Blokhin died in 1955, officially reported as a suicide.
