As I understand the Soviet gov't was not very keen on public executions. They were not practiced in piece time, only during the Russian Civil War by both sides and during WW2 against collaborators and nazi POWs.
I have a question about the latter. Did the Soviet authorities organize these executions on their own initiative or under the pressure of the population?

During the war, odds are any executions would have been impromptu affairs by local military units, often because it was simply faster than escorting prisoners to the rear.
Fascists falling in the hands of Soviet partisans were usually not long for this world either Soviet America is Free America!
Under communism, there is no freedom; you are not free to live in poverty, be homeless, to be without an education, to starve, or to be without a job 15 Aug 2014, 05:50

They liquidated prisoners when imprisoning them wasn't feasible (ie capture by Partisans and so on), otherwise they were imprisoned. It was SS men, various génocidaires, commanders and members of units responsible for heinous war crimes and willing collaborators that got kicked off trucks with nooses around their necks.
