The key questions in this book are related to the study of the "cleaning of cleaners" - a phenomenon that arose at the zenith of Stalinist power: what were the motives of the USSR leadership in conducting arrests and trials in the cases of NKVD officers? Perhaps even more importantly, we tried to understand the own motives of the NKVD officers: did they really believe in what they were doing, or were they careerists and functionaries who executed orders out of fear or bureaucratic routine? Were they sadists, criminals or "ordinary people" (in the sense in which Christopher Browning uses the term to refer to perpetators in Holocaust studies)? Finally, we sought to offer detail-rich microhistoric descriptions and new empirical evidence to enrich our understanding of the Great Terror by looking at them from the NKVD's interrogation rooms and execution chambers.
