'''Nikolai Yezhov''' (alt. '''Ezhov''', in ''rus''. Ежов, Николай Иванович) was a sodomite<ref>{{cite web |title=Личная жизнь наркома Ежова: что это было (Personal life of Yezhov, memeber of the people's Commissariat: What it was) |url=http://russian7.ru/post/lichnaya-zhizn-narkoma-ezhova-chto-yeto-byl/ |accessdate=3 Sep 2017 |language=Russian |quote=«Считаю необходимым довести до сведения следственных органов ряд фактов, характеризующих мое морально-бытовое разложение. Речь идет о моем давнем пороке – педерастии», - такое признание Николай Ежов сделал в камере особой тюрьмы НКВД. ... Семейная жизнь не мешала Ежову развлекаться. В конце 20-х годов он пристрастился к алкоголю. Интенсивно работал и так же интенсивно предавался загулам. Так, с коллегой по наркомату земледелия Ф. М. Конаром (Полащук) они «всегда пьянствовали в компании проституток, которых Конар приводил к себе домой» (из стенограммы допроса Ежова). Были у него и содомские связи. ...Интимная жизнь Николая Ежова началась в 15 лет, когда парня отправили в Санкт-Петербург на обучение к портному. Там, в мастерской, в полном соответствии с традициями мира моды и столичного гламура его совратили более искушенные сверстники. Одного из своих любовников Ежов встретил потом в царской армии в 1916 году, и они охотно возобновили свои отношения. Их связь была взаимоактивной - функции партнера менялись в процессе полового контакта. Впрочем, такие отношения Ежов практиковал и с другими приятелями-содомитами. Вскоре Ежова комиссовали по болезни, а его любовник был убит на фронте. Впоследствии, работая комиссаром базы радиотелеграфных формирований, он утешился в объятьях своего подчиненного инженера-радиотехника Антошина. После ареста разжалованный нарком назвал шестерых своих партнеров. С некоторыми из них Ежова связывала тесная дружба – это Иван Дементьев, работавший охране Ленинградской фабрики «Светоч», и Владимир Константинов, начальник «Военторга» Ленинградского военного округа. С некоторыми была, что называется случайная связь - директор МХАТа Яков Боярский и главный государственный арбитр СССР Филипп Голощекин. Все были арестованы. На допросах легко и подробно рассказывали об отношениях с Ежовым, надеясь на легкую статью за педерастию. Все шестеро были расстреляны. ("I think it is necessary to bring to the attention of the investigative authorities a number of facts characterizing my moral and domestic decomposition. It is a question of my long-standing blemish, "the Confession of Nikolai Yezov made in the cell of the NKVD prison. ... The family life did not hinder Yezov to have fun. In the late 1920s he became addicted to alcohol. Worked intensively and as intensively indulged in Zagolam. Thus, with a colleague of the agriculture addict F. M. Konar (Polishchuk) They "always drank in the company of prostitutes, whom Konar brought to his home" (from the transcript of interrogation of Yezov). He had Sodom ties. ... The intimate life of Nikolai Yezhova began at the age of 15, when the guy was sent to St. Petersburg to study for the tailor. There, in the workshop, in full accordance with the traditions of the fashion world and the metropolitan glamour, he was seduced by more sophisticated peers. One of his lovers Yezov met then in the Tsarist army in 1916, and they willingly resumed their relationship. Their relationship was mutually active-the partner's functions were changed in the process of sexual contact. However, such relations of hedgehogs practiced with other friends-sodomites. Soon, Yezhova discharged by sickness, and his lover was killed at the front. Later, working as the Commissioner of the Radiograph base, he was comforted in the arms of his subordinate engineer-radio-Technician Antoshin. After the arrest, the drug-dealer named six of his partners. With some of them Yezhova was connected by close friendship – Ivan Demantyev, who worked for the protection of the Leningrad Factory "Light", and Vladimir Konstantinov, the head of "voentorg" of the Leningrad Military District. With some was what is called a random link-the director of the Mhata Yakov Boyovsky and the chief state arbiter of the USSR Philippe Golishekin. Everyone was arrested. On interrogations it was easy and detailed to tell about a relationship with Yezov, hoping for an easy article for the pedanstiy. All six were shot.)|publisher=Русская Семерка russian7.ru }}</ref> alias [[Sexual disorientation|sexually disoriented]] person, nowadays labeled as [[LGBT|LG'''B'''T]], who, as chief of the [[NKVD]], killed for [[Stalin]].
