1939 Leningrad list, signed by Stalin, Molotov and others

Stalin's shooting lists (Russian: Ста́линские расстре́льные спи́ски; Stalin's execution lists) were the lists of extrajudicially accused persons submitted to the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR after the endorsement by Joseph Stalin and other members of the Politburo, for issuing a verdict, typically an execution by firing squad. At the height of the Great Purge, the shooting lists were submitted by the NKVD troikas.[1][2]
