Whittaker Chambers, who was an American Communist spy at the time, suspected that a horrible crime against humanity was being enacted in Russia. He later wrote: “The great purge was in the most literal sense a massacre... This great massacre, probably the greatest in history was deliberately planned and executed... Those killed have been estimated from several hundred thousand to several million men and women. The process took about three years, 1935-1938.
