11.08.1937 Russian genocide: On 11.08.1937 Russian leader Stalin decided and NKWD head, Nicholas Jeżow, signed a „Polish operation” executive order no 00485. 139,835 Poles living in Russia were thus sentenced summarily to death. According to the records of the „Memorial” International Association for Historical, Educational, Charitable and Defense of Human Rights ” (Rus. Международное историко–просветительское, правозащитное и благотворительное общество „Мемориал”), specialising with historical research and promoting knowledge about the victims of Russian repressions — 111,091 were murdered. 28,744 were sentenced to deportation to concentration camps in Gulag. Altogether however more than 100,000 Poles were deported, mainly to Kazakhstan, Siberia, Kharkov and Dniepropetrovsk. According to some historians, the number of victims should be multiplied by at least two, because not only the named persons were murdered, but entire Polish families (the mere suspicion of Polish nationality was sufficient). Taking into account the fact that the given number does not include the genocide in eastern Russia (Siberia), the number of victims may be as high as 500,000 Poles.

Great Purge 1937: In the summer of 1937 Polish Catholic priests held in Solovetsky Islands, Anzer Island and BelBaltLag were locked in prison cells (some in Sankt Petersburg). Next in a few kangaroo, murderous Russian trials (on 09.10.1937, 25.11.1937, among others) run by so‑called „Troika NKVD” all were sentenced to death. They were subsequently executed by a single shot to the back of the head. The murders took place either in Sankt Petersburg prison or directly in places of mass murder, e.g. Sandarmokh or Levashov Wilderness, where their bodies were dumped into the ditches. Other priests were arrested in the places they still ministered in and next murdered in local NKVD headquarters (e.g. in Minsk in Belarus), after equally genocidal trials run by aforementioned „Troika NKVD” kangaroo courts.

Forced exile: One of the standard Russian forms of repression. The prisoners were usually taken to a small village in the middle of nowhere — somewhere in Siberia, in far north or far east — dropped out of the train carriage or a cart, left out without means of subsistence or place to live.

KrasLag: Russian system of distributed concentration and forced labour camps (part of Gulag penal system) — up to 800‑1,000 prisoners each — centered Kansk and later in Reshoty c. 260 to the east of Krasnoyarsk, founded in 1938. The prisoners slaved mainly at forest clearances. The mortality rate among prisoners, the majority of which were political, reached in 1938‑9 and 1941‑5 an annual average of 7‑8% (some were executed). Among prisoners were many Lithuanians (from 1941) and Volga river Germans (from 01.1942). In the 2nd half of 1940s many political prisoners from Ukraine and Belarus were brought in. In 1949‑50 most of the prisoners were relocated to other concentration camps, to SibLag in Kazachstan among others, but KrasLag remained operational at least till 1956. Altogether till 1950 at least 100,000 inmates went through KrasLag. (more on: www.memorial.krsk.ruClick to attempt to display webpage
