Thousands were executed at the former headquarters of KGB and NKVD the Lubyanka Prison in Moscow and the Lefortovo prison in Moscow (the central KGB interrogation jail)!. The vast majority of the executions were performed in the hundreds of Gulag camps and prisons spread all over the Soviet Union!.
