TIL of Mikhail Devyataev, a Soviet fighter pilot who in Feb 1945 escaped a Nazi concentration camp near PeenemΓΌnde with nine other POWs by taking over the commandant's He 111 bomber. The NKVD didn't believe his story and classified him as a criminal, but in 1957 he became a Hero of the Soviet Union.

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?

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?)
