Jews under paragraph 5 of the internal passport law made up thirty-seven of the ninety-six “leading cadres” of the organization, as against thirty Russians, seven Latvians, five Ukrainians, four Poles, three Georgians, three Belarusians, two Germans, and five others. They headed a number of key NKVD departments among them that were responsible for the worker–peasant militia (the police), labor camps, counterintelligence, surveillance, and economic sabotage
When Stalin replaced Yagoda in September 1936, he appointed another Jew, the more zealous Nikolai Yezhov. In January 1937 the 111 top NKVD officials included 42 Jews, 35 Russians, 8 Latvians, and 26 others. Of the twenty NKVD directorates, twelve (including state security, police, labor camps, and resettlement) were headed by officers identified as ethnic Jews. Of the ten departments of the Main Directorate for State Security, the most sensitive of all NKVD agencies, seven (…) were headed by Jews
In the organization as a whole this change can be documented to the end of 1938 and the beginning of 1939: on September 1, 1938, Jews still constituted 21.3 percent of the management cadre, but as of July 1, 1939, they were only 3.9 percent
A radical change in their position took place in the mid-1930s, when, on a par with other national groups, they found themselves subjected to Stalinist terror. Interesting, however, in 1934 they constituted 38.5 per cent of the entire leadership of the NKVD and managed seven of the ten key departments.
