	Great Purge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Several hundreds of thousands were executed by firing squad and millions were forcibly resettled or sent to labor camps where many of them were subjected to extermination regimes and died.
		The height of the campaigns occurred while the NKVD was headed by Nikolai Yezhov, from September 1936 to August 1938 ; this period is sometimes referred to as the Yezhovshchina ("Yezhov era").
		However the campaigns were carried out according to the general line, and often by direct orders, of Party politburo headed by Stalin.

		Despite an aristocratic background and service in the Tsarist army, his ideas of the decisive offensive and deep battle became essential elements of Soviet battle doctrine, even after Tukhachevsky himself was purged and executed in 1937.
		Chapter Seven, "Postscript: Yezhovshchina and the End of Innovation," details the fall of Tukhachevsky, a victim of the leading edge of Stalin's great purge of the military.
		Despite the success of his reforms, and his great service to the Soviet state, in May 1937 Tukhachevsky was arrested, charged with treason and conspiracy with fascist powers.
