Hagenloh (history, Syracuse U.) constructs a history of Soviet policing between Joseph Stalin's rise to power and the beginning of World War II and its connections to mass repression, particularly the wave of mass arrests of "criminals," "former kulaks," and suspect ethnicities that began in August 1937 and continued for months. He argues that as early as the mid-1930s Soviet policing was predicated on the idea of identification, surveillance, and excision from the body politic of population cohorts identified by the regime as "socially dangerous," leading to the mass operations of 1937 and 1938, which were a response to the failures of the regime to successfully use covert systems of surveillance and population control. Hagenloh connects the mass arrests to other forms of state violence in the Tsarist and early Soviet eras, but stresses their unique nature as a top-down response to social disorder.
