ALL GULAG PRISONERS WERE AFRAID OF HIM. THE FATE OF THE MOST BRUTAL NKVD CHIEF

There are many memories of GULAG prisoners, including the famous writer, author of the Kolyma Stories Varlam Shalamov, about the brutal cruelty of NKVD colonel, head of the Kolyma Northeastern camp Stepan Garanin. The prisoners who met with Garanin said that even standing next to this "citizen chief" was creepy – the colonel could easily shoot a camper if he didn't like him for something.  In a historical study by Alexander Kozlov, a senior researcher at the Laboratory of History and Archaeology of the Northeastern Integrated Research Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it is said that Stepan Garanin stayed as the head of the Northeastern ITL for a little more than 9 months - from the end of 1937 to September 1938. Kozlov believes that Garanin was just a cog in the cannibalistic system of the GULAG, and the main blame for the inhumane treatment of prisoners should be placed on the authorities of Dalstroy, in particular on the head of this gostrest Karp Pavlov - Garanin only carried out his orders.  However, a large number of memoirs of former prisoners who personally or according to the stories of camp comrades knew about the manifestations of "garaninism" have been published. For example, Alexey Yarotsky's memoir "Golden Kolyma" describes Garanin's desire to personally participate in the executions of prisoners, he could shoot a convict even for driving an incomplete wheelbarrow – "sabotaged". Garanin, Yarotsky wrote, was terrifying by his very appearance. At the Maldyak gold mine, he staged mass shootings of "saboteurs", in which he personally took part. At the same time, eyewitnesses of these events recalled that the head of ITL himself, judging by his facial expression, was afraid of the fate he had in store for him, which he guessed. Therefore, I drank constantly and a lot. to remember #gulag #NKVD #stepangaranin source : https://russian7.ru/post/stepan-garan... / cooperation : [email protected]
