Typed letter addressed to Saakyan-responsible for the party members in Armenian Communist Party, signed Malenkov in red pen as head of department of party organization, dated February 1, 1937 with the letterhead of Central committee of All Soviet Communist Party of Bolsheviks, 1 page.
Georgy Malenkov asking comrade Saakyan urgently give him the names of the high party organizations, members of elected party organs, members who was expelled from the party.
As the Great Purge has started immediately the systematic decimation of Armenian Communist ranks began. One after another the men who had ruled Armenia in the first fifteen years were arrested, tried, and either shot or exiled to prison camp.
Georgy Malenkov during the early 1930s worked in the Moscow party committee as the head of the section for mass agitation, conducting a purge of opposition members. Between 1934 and 1939 he ran the party organization for the Central Committee and reviewed party documents in preparation for the Great Purge beginning in 1936. Malenkov took an active role in various aspects of this purge, supervising particularly harsh actions in Belarus and Armenia in 1937.
Georgy Maximilianovich Malenkov (1902 –1988) was a Soviet politician, Communist Party leader and close Stalin’s collaborator. He briefly became leader of the Soviet Union (from March to September 1953) after Stalin's death and was Premier of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1955. Despite many close calls, he was one of relatively few important members of Stalin's inner circle who died a natural death in old age.
