Description
The NKVD was the Soviet Union’s main internal security and secret police agency during the 1930s and 1940s. Under Joseph Stalin, it carried out mass arrests, interrogations, executions, and deportations, playing a central role in the Great Purge of 1936–1938. It also operated forced-labor camps known as the Gulag and targeted people accused of opposing the Soviet government. During World War II, the NKVD fought behind the front lines, guarded prisoners, and carried out operations against suspected collaborators and deserters. In 1946, it was reorganized into the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), while state security functions were transferred to other agencies.
