Most Evil Soviet Leaders
Just like the national socialist butchers, the international socialist butchers killed millions of innocents, men, women and little children. This list contains top 10 soviet leaders who killed and screwed mother Russia most.
Stalin was a paranoid successor of Lenin and later became a ruthless dictator. Under his leadership, Ukraine suffered from a famine (Holodomor) so severe that many consider it an act of genocide perpetrated by Stalin's government.
In addition to the famine, Stalin ordered purges within the Soviet Union. Anyone deemed an enemy of the state was either executed by the secret police or sent to the gulag, where they eventually died. Stalin is responsible for the deaths of approximately 42 million people, including men, women, and children. In all of history, only Mao may have killed more.

Lenin is responsible for the deaths of 4 million people, including men, women, and children. He is often ranked as the 5th greatest murderer of the 20th century, following Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and Chiang Kai-shek. Lenin, driven by rage against society, killed and destroyed everything that generations of hard-working and tolerant people had built.
His barbarism set the tone for every communist regime that followed worldwide.

Lavrenti Beria, a notorious figure in Communist Russia, was one of Stalin's closest and most sinister allies. Stalin referred to him as the Russian Himmler, a title that fit his role perfectly. Just as Himmler was to Hitler, Beria was to Stalin. He was involved in various massacres, including the Katyn massacre, and was in charge of the gulags.
Beria tortured and murdered for the state with impunity and was as egotistical and sadistic as he was temperamental. He was also known for his predatory behavior, including the rape of innocent Soviet girls in his chambers.


Between 1917 and 1924, as the leader of the Red Army during Lenin's war on the peasants, Trotsky was a mass murderer. He was Lenin's chief enforcer in the killing of 4 million innocent people, including men, women, and children. Trotsky supported the killing of all political opponents of the regime, including campaigners for liberal Western democracy. He also supported the extermination of the bourgeoisie.

Though he did not kill millions, Vasily Blokhin holds the title of "Most Prolific Executioner" of all time, according to the Guinness World Records. He personally executed tens of thousands of prisoners, including approximately 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in the spring of 1940.
Blokhin also carried out executions during the Great Purge, with a total number of victims reaching about 22,000 people.

Kaganovich, who was Jewish, is often considered one of the most evil figures in Soviet history. As Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party, he orchestrated the Holodomor. Peasants were banned from entering cities, and Ukrainian villages that did not meet grain quotas were blacklisted and denied food.
He participated in the Holodomor famine and crushed the Ukrainian resistance. Kaganovich was virtually the Soviet Union's Adolf Eichmann, setting a quota of 10,000 executions a week. Eighty percent of Ukrainian intellectuals were shot.

Although he aided Fidel Castro against the USA and supported smaller communist countries, Khrushchev criticized Stalin and spread what some claim were lies to the world. This led to an increase in anti-communist propaganda from Western media and damaged the Soviet Union's reputation. His secret speech is considered by many to be one of the most untruthful things he ever said.
To me, he's half good, half demon. He freed people from gulags, but as Krishna said, during the Hungarian Revolution, he caused civilian deaths.

He was the Butcher of the Prague Spring in 1968 and also responsible for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which still has effects today.

The Newcomers


A drunk maniac. He destroyed the greatest country and made it dissolve.

Nicknamed "The Bloody Dwarf," Nikolai Yezhov succeeded Yagoda as head of the NKVD. He oversaw the Great Terror, during which hundreds of thousands of intellectuals, Trotskyists, national minority leaders, and other "enemies of the state" were arrested, sent to the Gulag, or executed. He was eventually replaced by Beria and executed in 1940.

Not evil at all. He gave democracy to nearly all of Eastern Europe and improved life for millions, ending the Cold War. Yes, he didn't plan on making the Soviet Union collapse (that's actually his biggest regret), but the idea of improving life lived on.
He just wanted greater freedom in the Soviet Union.
He destroyed the socialist motherland.

He helped Stalin carry out purges.
Eduard Berzin was the first administrator of Dalstroy, the organization responsible for overseeing the forced labor camps in the Kolyma region in the far east. His legacy remains controversial. While conditions in the camps were relatively reasonable during his administration, tens of thousands still died.
Regardless, Berzin played a role in setting up these camps during their formative years. In 1938, he was recalled to the mainland, where he was consumed by the Great Terror and executed. After his death, conditions in Kolyma became much more brutal.


He suppressed dissidents, conducted mass arrests, and sent people to mental institutions for going against the state.
