Less than four weeks into the invasion, the Belorussian NKVD had already identified no fewer than 3,535 counterrevolutionary “elements,” and by late November 1939 the organization had already arrested nearly 12,000 people throughout the former eastern Polish territories.11 When the NKVD chief in Belorussia reported the arrest of some 581 Polish officers and army reservists in early December, he emphasized that
