I just cannot fathom how they think there are enough of us to matter, and how we have any meaningful political power at all. The enemy is both strong and weak. The enemy is laughable, yet an omnipresent threat. Obsession with a plot, often international. Like just say "Judeo-Bolsheviks" if that's what you want to say.
Nah, there are some documents indicating that stalin was somewhat aware of the scale of purge (e.g. we found 5k wreckers in local party - you know what to do, signed), and yezhov got got over being gay, unless i mistake him with someone else (and if i remember right, he never admitted guilt over purge itself (in that it was out of scale, not that it didn't happen))
I'll just trust you on the first part. I know Stalin got complaints (which also indicated that the scale was pretty big) and didn't act on them, and that's why I said he was negligent. If I remember right, Yezhov was honey-potted by a foreign power* and it used that to blackmail him (though of course sodomy was on the list of charges), but he absolutely was convicted on the basis of being a wrecker and trying to damage the SU by killing many people to destabilize it. Whether it is true that he was a wrecker or he was actually just a fall guy for a reckless operation, I don't know. He definitely did also at one point admit to what he was ultimately convicted of, though he later claimed that he only did so under torture and was in fact innocent of most of those charges.
Per NATOpedia:
Again, I think the truth of the matter is unclear due to the relevant archival evidence not being open, but this is what the story is.
*I thought that was him but I'm having trouble finding it. I don't think it was Yagoda, even though he too seemed to be what we would call bi, but it definitely happened to someone . . .
love that neutral point of view natopedia. Very cool
