ww2dbaseThe Lefortovo Prison in Moscow, Russia began operations in 1881. During the Soviet era, it was run by the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (Narodnyy Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del), or NKVD for short. Many political prisoners were tortured at Lefortovo, especially during the Great Purge of the late 1930s. NKVD's successor organization, Committee for State Security (Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti), or KGB for short, continued to operate this facility to extract confessions by torture for decades to come. It remains an active prison at the time of this writing, operated by by Ministry of Justice of Russia.
