Stolypin ties vs Yezhov gloves or the number of death sentences under Stolypin and Yezhov: years issued/carried out.
1906-1911 [1] 7016 / 3972.
1937-1938 [2] 668305 /? Currently, there are no reliable data on the number of death sentences carried out during Yezhov's tenure as People's Commissar of Internal Affairs, and it is unlikely that they will appear in the foreseeable future. However, we can try to clarify something about this. 1) It is known that as of September 15, 1938, the decisions of the special troikas in the first category in relation to people arrested before August 1, 1938 were to be carried out immediately [3] 2) From 10/01/1936 to 11/01/1938, only 634 people were sentenced to prison terms [2] 3) There were 7,303 people sentenced to prison In 1936, 6,239 in 1937, 5,926 in 1938, 3,425 in 1939, 4,037 in 1940 [4] Based on this information it can be assumed that almost 99% of those sentenced to prison were executed, but in reality everything turns out to be a little more complicated. The "Great Terror" brought the work of the ministry of third. b to a completely disorganized state; Thousands of arrest tickets turned out to be half-full of defects. A number of those arrested and even convicted due to such a registration were actually lost and sat without interrogation. Some of them managed to "sit outside" until the end of 1938, but such exceptions throughout the country were not quantitatively significant (we are talking about numbers in the thousands, maybe several tens of thousands of people) and most of those sentenced to death could not escape their fate. It is also known that after the formal ban on executions based on sentences of extrajudicial authorities, in several areas the detainees were shot "retrospectively" by the hundreds and thousands. Thus, only in Crimea and only on November 28-29, 1938, 770 people were executed [5].
