Illustrated Newspaper. 1938-41.

Its first editor-in-chief was Evgeniya Ezhova, the wife of the all-powerful Nikolai Ezhov, the Peoples Commissar of Interiors. In November 1938, when her husband’s position became shaky, she allegedly committed suicide. The newspaper then came under the management of Leopol’d Zheleznov, who was the executive secretary of Pravda”.
