За что советского маршала РАССТРЕЛЯЛИ в праздник 23 февраля?

Marshal Yegorov: Why was the founder of the Red Army shot on February 23? Alexander Yegorov was one of the first marshals of the Soviet Union and a man who stood at the origins of the Red Army. A former tsarist officer, commander of fronts during the Civil War, and Chief of the Red Army General Staff, he rose to the very top of the Soviet military elite. But during the Great Terror, his past, denunciations, testimony from those arrested, and intrigues surrounding the General Staff began to coalesce into a case from which there was little hope of escape. In this video, we examine why Stalin initially defended Yegorov and even removed him from the execution list, but this did not save the marshal from the verdict. What role did his wife play, what happened during NKVD interrogations, why Yegorov wrote his testimony in his own hand, and why he was executed on February 23 – Red Army Day, which he himself helped create.
