Nikolai Yezhov was a Soviet official who rose to prominence under Joseph Stalin's leadership. He was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and head of the NKVD, the Soviet security agency. In 1938, Yezhov was removed from his position and arrested on charges of treason and conspiracy. He was sentenced to death and executed the following year.
Historical edited photos of Yezhov and Stalin have been altered for various reasons, including to remove Yezhov from pictures where he is present or to show him in a more favorable light. Some of these altered photos have been used to suggest that Yezhov was not as powerful or influential as he actually was. However, it is important to note that altering historical photos is a form of manipulation and can undermine the accuracy of history. It is important to rely on reliable sources and to critically evaluate any information about the past.
