metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article is about one of the most difficult periods for the Red Army before the Second World War — the period connected
  with mass political repressions. The authors present material about the activities of the command of the Transcaucasian Military District
  during 1937-1938 that illustrates the fates of prominent military leaders: the Army Commander of the Second Rank M. K. Levandovskiy,
  Corps Commander N. V. Kuybyshev, and Marshal A. I. Egorov and provides a deeper understanding of what happened to the country and
  the army at this time. Based off the example of this military district, there is uncovered a mechanism for changing such an organization’s
  leadership (its Commander, Vice-Chairmen and members of its Military Council); a mechanism which essentially eliminated the
  command and control system for a strategically important region on the verge of the Second World War. The content of the article is based
  off of archival documents. These include the orders and directives of the People's Commissar of Defense and the Political Directorate
  of the Red Army, as well as the official correspondence of Transcaucasian Military District’s Command with the People's Commissar of
  Defense and its personnel agencies, the District’s own orders, directives, and statistical reports, the correspondence of its commander
  with his underlings and with a Special Department of the NKVD, and summaries of the Main Directorate of State Security sent directly to
  Stalin. A number of documents from the archives are published here for the first time.
