Editing Nikolai Yezhov (section)

==Trivia==
* Due to Stalin ordering that Yezhov should be removed from all pictures featuring him after his execution, he became known as '''The Vanishing Commissar''' among historians.
* As his death was never made public, some believed him to still be alive and in an insane asylum as late as 1948.
* During interrogation, Yezhov admitted to a long history of sexual impropriety, including homosexuality. Post-Soviet investigations have concluded that this was indeed the case.
* Yezhov is probably the single person in history most responsible for the deaths during the Great Purge, with the gulag population tripling in size in just two years under his command.
