The Operation of the NKVD of the USSR against the Zionists. 1937-1938 / Authors-compilers: Valerii Vasyliev, Roman Podkur, Andrii Kohut. Kyiv: V. Zakharenko Publishing House, 2021. 864 p.

The publication contains documents from the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR about the mass repressive operation against Zionists that lasted from December 1937 to December 1938. For the first time, information materials, procedural documents of the investigation by the state security agencies, as well as statements and complaints about unjustified arrests, falsification of interrogation protocols, torture, and unlawful sentences of former members of the Zionist movement of the 1920s and early 1930s are published. The set of sources reveals little-known aspects of political persecution and mass murder initiated by the Soviet leadership and carried out by NKVD officers during the Great Terror. The publication contains introductory articles, commentaries on the documents, indices, and a reference section.
