Vasili Blokhin

Vasili Blokhin was a notorious Soviet executioner and chief executioner of the NKVD during Joseph Stalin's regime. He is infamously known for personally executing tens of thousands of individuals, including a significant role in the Katyn massacre, where he executed thousands of Polish prisoners of war. Blokhin's methodical and brutal approach to mass executions has made him one of the most reviled figures in history, often cited as a prime example of the extreme cruelty and inhumanity that characterized Stalinist policies.
