In the Soviet Union, during Joseph Stalin's 1936-38 Great Purge, Lefortovo Prison was used by the NKVDsecret police for mass executions and interrogational torture.[1] Lefortovo was an infamous KGB prison and interrogation site (called an "investigative isolator", or СИЗО: следственный изолятор) for political prisoners.[2] In 1994, the prison was transferred to the MVD; from 1996 to 2005, it was under the jurisdiction of the FSB, a KGB successor agency. The prison is said to have strict detention conditions. Only visits by lawyers are allowed. Letters can be received but are read by prison officials.[3]
