"Laboratories of Terror explores the final chapter of Stalin's Great Terror. On November
1938, the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars
of the USSR issued a directive halting mass operations in repression. This directive
served not only to end the mass operations, but led to the release of large numbers
of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete. At the same time,
it resulted in a "purge of the purgers," resulting in the scapegoating and arrests
of hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror at regional and
local levels. This episode in the Great Terror remained hidden from view for decades
due to the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police. The opening of the
Ukrainian security police archives in the 2010s allowed historians for the first time
to begin to excavate this chapter in the history of the Great Terror. This collection
of essays illuminates the world of the NKVD perpetrator and the mechanics and logistics
of the terror at the local level through an examination of the criminal files of a
series of mid-level NKVD operatives arrested at the end of the Great Terror in Soviet
Ukraine. It reveals the complex relations between center and periphery, illustrating
both Stalin's central role in the architecture of the terror and NKVD perpetrators'
agency in implementing the terror"
