	NKVD top
		NKVD was started almost by accident with the goal of putting out music by great bands that I felt weren't being noticed.
		NKVD’s goal isn’t to make a bunch of money, although I do want to break even.
		Since selling 1,000 copies of a given CD one at a time is virtually impossible, I’ve taken up trading NKVD releases for good music on other labels with a similar philosophy to produce a much broader catalog of bands to represent.

	NKVD troika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NKVD troika or Troika, in Soviet Union history, were commissions of three people employed as an additional instrument of extrajudicial punishment (внесудебная расправа, внесудебное преследование) introduced to supplement the legal system with a means for quick punishment of anti-Soviet elements.
		It began as an institution of the Cheka, then later became prominent again in the NKVD, when it was used during the Great Purge period in the Soviet Union.
		The chairman of a troika was the chief of the corresponding territorial subdivision of NKVD (People's Commissar of a republican NKVD, etc.).

	NKVD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the NKVD apparatus was overwhelmed by functions inherited directly from the Imperial MVD, such as the supervision of the local governments and firefighting, and the new proletarian workforce was largely inexperienced.
		Although the NKVD performed the important function of state security, the name of the organization today is associated primarily with activities considered criminal: political repressions and assassinations, military crimes, violations of the rights of Soviet and foreign citizens, and violation of the law.
		Cooperation of NKVD and Gestapo: In March 1940 representatives of NKVD and Gestapo meet for one week in Zakopane, for the coordination of the pacification of resistance in Poland.

	NKVD
		The NKVD, or Narodnij Kommisariat Vnutrennih Del - People's Commisariat for Interior Affairs, was the name for the political police in the USSR in one of the stages of its development.
		On 8 February 1941, the Special Sections of the NKVD (responsible for counter-intelligence in the military) were given to the Army and Navy (NKO and NKVMF) where they became the SMERSH[?] (from Smert' Shpionam or "Death to Spies").
		The organization and responsibility of the NKVD was similar to Nazi Germany's Gestapo.

		M35 NKVD uniforms were similar to M35 RKKA uniforms with the exception of different rank insignia on collars and sleeve cuffs.
		NKVD interior troops personnel are distinguished by a large yellow metal triangle in the lower corner of the collar tabs.
		This was done by the new NKVD head Yezhov to rid the organization of the traces of his disgraced predecessor Yagoda who had been responsible for the introduction of the unique M35 uniform class.

		NKVD units worked with the commandant of the Kremlin garrison to stockpile weapons and ammunition and positioned themselves in the Hall of Columns adjacent to the city's most famous landmark.
		NKVD operatives gathered information on the mood and morale of the people, which in the early stages of the war was important for gauging whether the ethnically diverse population, which had suffered greatly under Stalin's bloody dictatorship, would remain loyal to Moscow or go over to the other side.
		Early NKVD reports indicating that the people considered the conflict to be a holy war to the death convinced Stalin and his entourage that sooner or later the Soviet Union would prevail.

	Under the Red Star - NKVD/MVD Caps
		The NKVD (or Peoples Commissariat for Internal Affairs) were the infamous Soviet Secret Police of the 1930's and 40's.
		The NKVD was renamed the MVD in 1946, although the old blue topped caps continued to be worn until about 1954.
		This cap was worn by NKVD personnel in the 1930's and 40's and by MVD personnel after March 1946 when the organization was renamed.

	1.JmA - NKVD troops in the front line
		Therefore 6 NKVD Rifle divisions and 3 NKVD Motorised Rifle divisions were raised, consisting of 5-6 regiments with 3 battalions in each regiment, with the engagement of 92,000 NKVD troops (Railway Guarding troops, Escort troops) and 2,000 of Border-Guards.
		However it should be remembered that since 1943 the NKVD troops returned to their original role of home security troops, whose primary objective was to secure Soviet power both in newly liberated areas and in the rear, so the participation of NKVD units in combat since 1943 should be rather treated as an exception.
		The last accord of NKVD fighting forces expansion was witnessed during the August Storm of 1945, when the 3d NKVD Rifle divison followed the rolling Soviet tanks into Manchuria, to neutralise the japanese resistance and Russian emigrant circles of former ataman Semenov.

	The Economy of the OGPU, NKVD and MVD of the USSR, 1930-1953
		Enterprises under NKVD authority were disorganized by the arrests of their directors (see, for example, the chapter by Ertz), by mass executions and by the sharp increase in the mortality rate and the physical exhaustion of camp inmates.
		The development of the NKVD economy during the war was influenced by several important factors.
		The NKVD and the MVD became one of the largest economic ministries between the 1930s and the 1950s because of the absolute priority of politics over economics.

	FINAL revised copy of this
		What this NKVD was, was a replacement for the Ministry of the Interior, though it was written of under that name (causing much confusion!) On 11/1917, G.I. Petrovsky headed it.
		More and more NKVD agents were executed, though not as publicly as Beria and his top people, and many NKVD agents fled abroad or were stuck abroad due to these moves.
		The NKVD had not been on totally friendly terms with the VeCheKa which was curbed after the Civil War by making it into the GPU and then the OGPU.

		The NKVD chose Sylvia Ageloff, a Brooklyn social worker, Trotskyite, and confidante of Trotsky himself.
		The NKVD used Ruby Weil, a wavering Trotskyite and acquaintance of Ageloff, to travel to Europe with Ageloff and set her up with Mercader via an agent by the name of Gertrude.
		In Paris, Mercader was posing as Jacques Mornard, a student of journalism at the Sorbonne and son of a Belgian diplomat.

	Under the Red Star - NKVD/MVD Caps
		The NKVD was renamed the MVD in 1946, although the old caps continued to be worn until about 1954.
		Cap band color was rust brown (or maroon), while medium blue was used as piping to delineate the convoy/signal branches from the rest of the MVD.
		One of the "triumvirate" of sought-after security service generals' caps (KGB and Border Guard being the others), the MVD general's parade cap is the rarest of the three, since it apparently was not considered as "collectable" by Russian/Ukrainian wholesale uniform buyers or post-Soviet uniform shops.

	S13 - What if... Marinesko and the NKVD (KGB) Jan 1945
		When I first read about Captain Marinesko's problems with the NKVD (KGB) in early January 1945 as described in "The cruelest night", I had some difficulty to understand why, if the information obtained by the NKVD was accurate, Captain Marinesko had been freed to carry on with his patrols.
		Unfortunately, the NKVD was not of that opinion and they recommended he be court martialled or at the very least, that he be returned, under escort, to the Naval Headquarters in Kronstadt.
		The NKVD waited a long time and, when they finaly were convinced no one else was going to contact him - than he was sent on his way.

	NKVD/KGB UNIFORMS - INTRODUCTION
		For example, although NKVD signals troops wore regular NKVD uniforms with signals branch insignia, it appears that KGB signals personnel may have worn army uniforms.
		Thus it is usually impossible to speak of such items as NKVD or KGB boots, belts, shirts, ties, gloves, field breeches, etc. The identical item was often used in all arms and branches.
		Unique state security uniform items are thus limited to items with some clearly identifying branch colour or insignia such as headgear, tunics, pants and breeches, coats, and shoulder boards, collar tabs and sleeve insignia and not even all of these items are always unique to state security organs.

		The NKVD began as an entirely Bolshevik organisation, was frequently altered, and overtime would amass an enourmous amount of power.
		The NKVD's duties, while multifaceted, included the administration of the gulag's and prison system, the police, internal affairs for the police, and served as the main apparatus for carrying out the purges and mass executions of Communists and innocent Soviet civilians in the 1930s.
		The first Commissar of the NKVD was Alexi Rykov, who ironically would be executed for treason 21 years later during the last Moscow Trials.

	The Forum of the 1.Jagdmoroner Abteilung - NKVD troops: the frontline
		Curiously, in many cases it were exactly NKVD troops subunits that first came under devastating German fire in the early hours of “Barbarossa”, as in case with the 132nd Separate Escort Troops NKVD battalion stationed in the notorious Brest citadel.
		Yes, NKVD system was intensively purged, with a peak in 1936-1937, but the process had apparently little impact on the personnel of NKVD Border Guards personnel who made up the core of NKVD troops fighting on the frontline during the war.
		The armour NKVD possessed was essentially concentrated in the Motorized Rifle regiments of NKVD Motorized Rifle divisions, and there were tank companies in the reconnaissance battalions of the NKVD Rifle divisions.

		The NKVD and Red Army troops went from farm to farm, confiscating crops and livestock.
		The commissar of the NKVD until September 1936 had been the Jew Genrikh Yagoda, and he had staffed his instrument of terror and repression with Jews at every level.
		This was what the NKVD men jokingly called "mokrii rabota" — "wet work" — and they had had plenty of experience at "wet work." A truck parked next to the slab kept its engine racing so that the noise of the engine would cover the sound of the shots.
