I'm long said that you should read Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, for the villains. The psychology of the bad guys in real life is puzzling. Why did Robert Mugabe destroy the Rhodesian economy? Why did Chavez and Maduro destroy the Venezuelan economy? They made rookie errors that made it harder for them to hold onto power. Did they get bored of life on easy mode and deliberately make bad decisions to make it harder, for the white knuckle ride? Probably not, and Ayn Rand has a more subtle and reasonable depiction of the psychology of the bad guys.
From the Britannica article
There is evidence that Yagoda was instrumental in engineering in 1934 the assassination of Sergey Mironovich Kirov, Leningrad party secretary and a member of the Politburo, whom Stalin perceived as a potential rival.
From Wikipedia
When Stalin ordered that the Soviet Union's entire rural population were to be forced onto collective farms, Yagoda is reputed to have sympathised with Bukharin and Rykov, his opponents on the right of the communist party. Nikolai Bukharin claimed in a leaked private conversation in July 1928 that "Yagoda and Trilisser are with us", but once it became apparent that the right was losing the power struggle, Yagoda switched allegiance. In the contemptuous opinion of Bukharin's widow, Anna Larina, Yagoda "traded his personal views for the sake of his career" and degenerated into a "criminal" and a "miserable coward".[8]
Actually, it gets worse
Yagoda had founded a secret poison laboratory of OGPU that was at disposal of Stalin. One of the victims became his own NKVD boss, Vyacheslav Menzhinsky. He was slowly poisoned during two weeks by two assistants of Yagoda.
So now I'm having to revise my opinion of Ayn Rand. She got out of Russia in 1926, before things got really bad. Consequently, her villains are recognizably human, unlike the over-the-top cartoon villainy of real life.

Genrikh Yagoda was a Soviet official responsible for the construction of the White Sea-Baltic Canal using slave labor. He was also the first head of the People's Commisariat for Internal Affairs (abbreviated NKVD), and was thus responsible for taking the actions that directly sparked the Great Purge as well as for the Ukrainian famine of 1932 to 1933.
However, Yagoda wasn't where the buck stopped. While he was responsible for the implementation of various policies, he wasn't responsible for those policies being chosen in the first place. He could have been less murderous in his methods (BOOOOOOring), but that probably simply would have gotten him replaced by someone else altogether. In fact, that's what happened: when Yagoda sent a memo outlining foreign response to the Great Purge, Stalin took it as a sign of weakness, replaced Yagoda with Nikolai Yezhov, then had Yagoda and his wife executed.
This isn't to let Yagoda off the hook. He actively made decisions in his life that put him in a place where he could only be ruthless and murderous, and sympathy for the devil isn't required here. However, it does explain why Yagoda is much less well-known than, for example, Adolf Hitler. Without Yagoda, the Ukrainians still would have starved, the zeks still would have been worked to death and the show trials still would have been performed because, fundamentally, that's what Josef Stalin, the unquestioned ruler of the Soviet Union at the time, wanted to happen. To use a metaphor, Stalin was the engine, Yagoda was at most a tire.
So comparing Yagoda to Hitler is a bit of a case of apples to oranges. Both were evil men, but Hitler ran his show while Yagoda played a highly replaceable supporting role in his. A more analogous man in Nazi Germany would be Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, who is generally better known in the West than is Yagoda.

what the fuck you talking about!!!: Stalin was a JEW! Of course the JEW committed Genocide, and therefore Germanies defence against the JEW was Rightful.

If you're reading about USSR leaders I recommend digging into the history of Felix Dzerzhinsky. Dude is responsible for creating the vCheka (The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission) which was the security apparatus used to carry out the will of the USSR which meant torture, extortion, murder, assault, kidnapping, securing "confessions" etc.
