Under Yezhov, the Great Purge reached its height during 1937-1938, with roughly 50-75% of the members of the Supreme Soviet and officers of the Soviet military being stripped of their positions and imprisoned, exiled to the Siberian gulags or executed, along with a greater number of ordinary Soviet citizens, accused (usually without evidence) of disloyalty or "wrecking" by local Chekist troikas in order to satisfy Yezhov's arbitrary quotas for arrests and executions.
