		The organs of the NKVD from the western districts of Ukraine and Belorussia have uncovered quite a number of counterrevolutionary rebellious organizations.

		Under Beria many of the NKVD officers and First Secretaries responsible for thousands of executions and deportations were tried and often executed themselves for executing innocent people and using torture against those arrested.
		What has not been understood until now is that the setting up of the troikas, and large quotas for executions and deportations, was initiated at the insistence of the First Secretaries, not of Stalin.
		However, once Beria had replaced Yezhov as head of the NKVD (formally, in December 1938; in practice, perhaps a few weeks earlier) a continuous stream of rehabilitations took place.

		In many cases the defendants were not even present; their trials consisted solely of the troika reading their files.
		A troika would commonly review hundreds of files per day, meaning that the judicial system provided most prisoners with only a few minutes - if not seconds - to have their cases considered.
