[PAR] [TLE] Yakov Ganetsky [SEP] Yakov Stanislavovich Ganetsky (also transliterated as Hanecki), also known as Jakub Fürstenberg (Fuerstenberg) (15 March 1879 — 26 November 1937) was a prominent Old Bolshevik and close associate of Vladimir Lenin, famous as one of the financial wizards who arranged, through his close working relationship with Alexander Parvus, the secret German funding that saved the Bolsheviks.  After the October Revolution of 1917, Ganetsky served as Chief Soviet banker, trade representative and Ambassador to Latvia.  On behalf of the Soviet government he signed the Peace of Riga and Treaty of Kars.  His last post was that of a director of the Museum of the Revolution of the USSR, presently the State Historical Museum.  He was executed during the Great Purge and was rehabilitated posthumously. [PAR] [TLE] Great Purge [SEP] The Great Purge or the Great Terror (Russian: Большо́й терро́р ) was a campaign of political repression in the Soviet Union which occurred from 1936 to 1938.  It involved a large-scale purge of the Communist Party and government officials, repression of peasants and the Red Army leadership, widespread police surveillance, suspicion of "saboteurs", "counter-revolutionaries", imprisonment, and arbitrary executions.  Mobile gas vans were invented to execute people without trial.  In Russian historiography, the period of the most intense purge, 1937–1938, is called Yezhovshchina (Russian: Ежовщина ; literally, "Yezhov phenomenon", commonly translated as "times of Yezhov" or "doings of Yezhov"), after Nikolai Yezhov, the head of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, who was later killed in the purge.  It has been estimated that 600,000 people died at the hands of the Soviet government during the Purge.
