  Genrikh Yagoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Due to Menzhinsky's serious illness, Yagoda was in effective control of the secret police in the late 1920s.
On July 10, 1934, two months after Menzhinsky's death, Yagoda was appointed People's Commissar for Internal Affairs, a position which included oversight of regular as well as secret police, by Joseph Stalin.
He may have been involved, on Stalin's orders, with the murder of his superior Menzhinsky, whom he was later accused of poisoning, and Sergei Kirov, who was assassinated in December 1934.

Vyacheslav Rudolfovich Menzhinsky, Dzerzhinsky's chosen successor, was no Stalinist.
During World War I Menzhinsky had visited Leon Trotsky at the front to inform him that Stalin was attempting to undermine his authority and influence.
Menzhinsky's failing health brought on by angina effectively moved him into the background and his influence reverted to his aggressive deputy chairman Genrikh Grigoryevich Yagoda.

 World War II Military Veterans - Stalin and His Hangmen: New Book on Stalin
Rayfield focuses on the leaders of the Cheka security force and its successors, which brings "Iron Felix" Dzerzhinsky, Vyacheslav Menzhinsky and Genrikh Yagoda into the mix.
A professor of Russian and Georgian at Queen Mary, University of London, and author of a biography of Anton Chekhov and a literary history of Georgia, Rayfield offers a wealth of information about these men, their associates and the security forces in general.
It turns out that Dzerzhinsky, Menzhinsky and Yagoda were all sentimentalists to one degree or another and depended on their sisters to a perhaps abnormal extent, though what one is to make of this is unclear.

 Stalin was murdered, 2 months after the "Doctors Plot"
The Russians, who as liars are without peer, would never have been so clumsy as to issue any 'facts' about Stalin's fatal illness that could be suspect.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to note one similarity between the treatment given to Stalin, and that administered to Menzhinsky by Dr. Levin and Dr. Kazakov, as described by the former at his trial for murder.* This similarity is the use of the drug strophanthus or strophanthin.
This drug, which is derived from the Nombe plant of Central Africa, and, incidentally, used by the natives for arrow poison, acts as a cardiac tonic and a diuretic (an agent which increases the flow of urine).

 Languor Management: December 2004
For Western readers, it became a treasure trove of exotic Russian habits like vodka-drinking, and was illustrated accordingly on the covers of English, French and German translations.
In Russia, Yerofeyev's alcoholic tradition was carried on by writers such as Vyacheslav Pyetsukh and Sergei Gandlevsky, as well as in Alexei Ivanov's recent novel "The Geographer Boozed the Globe Away" (Geograf Globus Propil) -- but it never regained the metaphysical heights reached by Venichka, who talked to the angels.
