NKVD means “People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs”.

Internal Affairs. Yes. Internal to the Russian Communist Party.

Imagine if German police under Nazis and Gestapo were one and the same

The NKVD weren't Jew-hunters, engaged in a policy of ethnic cleansing.

my knowledge of Stalinism is closer to the root, and Russian is my first language

You could say the same thing about Ayn Rand.

Their main activities were about organizing demonstrations on all the important days, though

You definitely sound very knowledgeable

No, to the union. That included police.

The NKVD weren’t Jew-hunters, engaged in a policy of ethnic cleansing.

Actually they were that too for a short period of time before Stalin's death, when he got paranoid.

Also did you know there were unofficial quotas for good universities for the amount of Jewish students, while some simply didn't accept any? In MSU such quotas existed, while in Gnesinka there were no Jews at all.

You could say the same thing about Ayn Rand.

She is usually criticized for her simplistic understanding of the world outside of Soviet matters, not for understanding them wrong.

You definitely sound very knowledgeable

Well, what they clearly was outside of their usual activities was protecting worker rights.
