EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of arrest of Nikolai Yezhov, also known as Jagoda, the chief of the Soviet secret police agency OGPU (Joint State Political Directorate) in 1937. Jagoda, a key figure in Joseph Stalin's regime, was responsible for the implementation of the Great Purge, a campaign of political repression that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. The image shows Jagoda being taken into custody at his desk, surrounded by papers and documents, symbolizing the sudden and unexpected nature of his downfall. His expression is one of shock and disbelief, as if he cannot believe that his reign of terror has come to an end. The photograph provides a chilling reminder of the capricious nature of power in the Soviet Union during this period. The Great Purge was a turning point in Soviet history, marking the end of the era of collective leadership and the beginning of Stalin's absolute rule. Jagoda's arrest was just one of many high-profile purges that took place during this time, as Stalin moved to eliminate his political rivals and consolidate power. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical events that shaped the Soviet Union and the world at large. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the political dynamics of the time and the human cost of totalitarian regimes. The image is also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as it shows that even those in positions of great power can be brought down by the forces of history.
