 | | Towards the end of the purges, Yezhov was relieved from his post, later arrested on charges of espionage (proved to be false) and treason, tried, found guilty, and shot. | | | In his secret speech to the 20th CPSU congress in February 1956 (which was made public a month later), Khrushchev referred to the purges as an "abuse of power" by Stalin which resulted in enormous harm to the country. | | | Nevertheless minimization of the extent of the Great Purge continues among revisionist scholars in the United States (see, e.g., pp. |

| | Three of the defendants received sentences of 15 to 25 years; the others, including Bukharin, Rykov, and Iagoda, were sentenced to death. | | | One particularly effective threat used by NKVD after April 1935 was the reminder that the death penalty could be legally applied to children from ''traitors''' families down to the age of 12. | | | During the period of more than a year that separated the second and third major show trials, Stalin and Ezhov purged the army of its best officers and the NKVD of Iagoda's closest associates. |

| | Demos - A Network for Ideas & Action - Voter List Purges |
| | NEW YORK--Millions of eligible voters may be prevented from casting their ballots on November 2nd due to non-existent or flawed procedures used by state election officials to purge felons from voter rolls, according to a new report released today by the American Civil Liberties Union and Demos, as part of the Right to Vote Campaign. | | | The ACLU surveyed the states' election authorities and researched state laws to answer questions including how state elections officials "match" people with felony convictions against individuals listed on their voter registration list before purging them from the rolls, and whether states notify the individuals deemed "matched" that they will be or have been purged. | | | Mandatory Purge Criteria: Adoption of legislation that standardizes the criteria officials must use to match felons with voters, which would put states in compliance with the Help America Vote Act. |

| | Katherine Harris Not Responsible for Felon Purges [Free Republic] |
| | The purge law required only that local county governments–not the secretary of state–remove appropriate names from the voting rolls. | | | In its January 1 issue, the New Republic reported that the list-producing firm had been hired "months before the election." In fact, the law mandating the purge (Florida Statute 98.0975) was passed in the wake of a Miami mayoral race in which a judge found felons and dead people to have voted. | | | Despite the race-baiting claims of leading liberals, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris was not responsible for her state’s botched attempt to purge felons from its voting rolls. |

| | The "Great Purges" Reconsidered by J. Arch Getty |
| | The "purges" culminated in the Party elections of 1936 and 1937, which resulted in a great turnover of lower and middle-level Party leadership by democratic vote of the Party membership. | | | The new Party leaders thus elected were, on the whole, both younger, and closer to the working class in that they had more recently been workers, than the older generation of Party leaders. | | | The party literally had no idea who was, and who was not, a "member." A bureaucratic, complicated, and ultimately futile system of keeping files and records on Party members was relied upon to verify political decisions and promote Party policy. |
