Légende:
Traduction automatique: Nikolaï Yezhov, chef du NKVD de 1936 à 1938, fut arrêté et exécuté en 1938 en tant qu'« ennemi du peuple ». En 1940, Yezhov fut fusillé dans une chambre d'exécution au sol incliné, destinée à l'arrosage et construite selon les propres spécifications de Yezhov près de la Loubianka. Après son exécution, Yezhov fut soigneusement retiré de cette image, ce qui lui valut le surnom posthume de « commissaire disparu ».
