A page from the weighty tome of the Great Purge: order no. 00447 of the head of NKVD (30th July 1937)Today, the nature and consequences of the so-called elimination of the Kulak class and collectivization of peasantry in the 20s and 30s in the USSR are already known. Less known is the fact that another mass repression of the so-called Kulaks followed in 1937. On July of 1937, the Politburo of the communist party ordered to “arrest immediately all Kulaks […] and after an administrative examination of their cases by a troika, execute by firing squad the most hostile,” those less reluctant were to be locked up in forced-labour camps. The genocidal repressions were included in central planning – a quota for each region was established. On the basis of the above-mentioned Politburo order, the then People’s Commissar (NKVD), Nikolai Yezhov, gave order no. 00447 On repression of former kulaks, criminals, and other anti-Soviet elements, on the 30th July 1937. It was planned that 268 950 people were to be arrested, including 75 950 to be executed, but this list was incomplete and was later on supplemented; avid regions applied for increasing the quota and considerably surpassed the number of planned arrests, executions and deportations to labour camps.
