I united entire Siberia with Irkutsk (State faction), but I don't get decision for peaceful unification with WRRF (Tukhachevsky). Why this two Authoritarian Socialist nation can't negotiate for peaceful unification?

On this day but in 1940, the Katyn Massacre; the mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia started; carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD. The Soviets initially denied the massacre and even today many still deny the existence of this tragedy.
I've read that during WWII the KGB's predecessor, the NKVD, executed all prisoners at the Chernobyl city jail before abandoning the city as the Germans advanced. Who were these prisoners and why were they just executed?
There's a popular Wordpress website, WWII after WWII which has an entry on the SU-152's used during cleanup after the nuclear disaster at Pripyat. In passing, the author states that before the Germans occupied Chernobyl the Soviets removed anything of value, killed the city jail's inmates and blew the bridge over the Dnieper River. Before the 1986 disaster there was seemingly nothing remarkable about the city and I would imagine that the Soviets didn't keep high profile, political prisoners there. Who were the inmates they executed and why did they just kill him? Was August 1941 an awful time to get picked up for being drunk in public in Chernobyl?
In just three days, from 17 to 19 April 1938, in Simferopol, the NKVD shot the best representatives of the Crimean Tatar intelligentsia: writers, teachers, scientists. The "trial" lasted 20 minutes.

Unbiased Information About The NKVD?
I Want To Find Some Information About The NKVD That Was/Isn't Biased Against Them
But I Have No Clue Where To Begin
And When I Search For Information About The NKVD
I Usually Get Articles And Videos About Why They Were Negative
But I Can't Seem To Find Anything From Them Or The USSR So Any Links Would Be Appreciated
Were Soviet NKVD Divisions equipped or trained any differently from normal rifle divisions?
I've always thought of the NKVD as being the rough Soviet equivalent of an amalgamation between the SS and the Gestapo--that is, they were paramilitary forces under party rather than army control. During WWII were the NKVD's field units organized and trained the same as their army counterparts? Were they considered "elite" infantry? (I assume not--that role would be taken by Guards rifle divisions right?)
Ah yes red army wave tactics go vroom! Also the ever present wehrb/bad historian myth that the NKVD were trigger happy barrier troops that mowed down thousands upon thousands of soldiers... pshh like why wouldn't they soldiers don't win wars do they???
Lviv. Yanivsky Cemetery. Tombstone for 26 children from 1 day to 3 years old who were tortured by the NKVD in 1949-1951 in two Lviv prisons. Executioners of the "humane" Soviet government killed children born in prison or arrested with their mothers in order to extract evidence from women.
