ABOUT SOME ASPECTS OF THE IMPACT ON WORKING WITH PERSONNEL IN THE TROOPS AND ORGANS NKVD-NKGB USSR IN 1940s. THE MILITARY PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE AND THE MILITARY TRIBUNAL NKVD TROOPS OF ARKHANGELSK REGION

Abstract

After the collapse of the Soviet State, an extremely active criticism of the social system that existed in our country for more than seventy years was carried out (and continues to be carried out), state and public security bodies and troops were obstructed. At the same time, most of the materials testifying to the negative role of these state structures relied on sources such as the memoirs of participants in the events, apparently due to the fact that for the most part these materials were classified and still inaccessible to the general public. At the same time, the study of history should be based on objective facts of the surrounding reality. In regard, the proposed article attempts to reveal some of the features of the activities of these structures and the impact on the state of work with personnel in this closed department on the basis of declassified archival documents of the State Archive of the Arkhangelsk region. This approach is based on the fact that a sufficiently large number of penitentiary and other departmental institutions of the NKVD-NKGB of the USSR were stationed in the territory under consideration during the time period we are studying, and this area can be conditionally considered typical from the point of view of assessing the overall situation in the department.
