Murder Quota

Murder Quota: This document is imposing. It is a murder quota from the height of Stalin's terror. All the thousands in the first column are the quota for how many people need to be killed in said state. The government had no idea whether there were 1000 enemies of the state in that part of the country; the only thing they knew was they had to kill 1000 people for being enemies of the state. They didn't care about the consequences. They only had to put enough fear in the people's hearts to make them stop committing any act they believed to be against the people's interest. The second column shows how many people they have to send to labor camps. These requests had to be fulfilled by the local government, or they would be the ones dying.
