Василиј Михајлович Блохин ( 1895 — 1955) је био совјетски генерал-мајор који је служио као главни егзекутор стаљинистичког НКВД за време администрација Хенриха Јагоде, Николаја Јежова и Лаврентија Берије. На ту дужност га је изабрао Стаљин лично 1926. године.
Блохин је предводио чету егзекутора која је спровела већину егзекуција током Стаљинове владавине (углавном за време Велике чистке). Извори совјетске владе говоре о око 828.000 званичних НКВД егзекуција током Стаљинове владавине,[1] а за Блохина је забележено да је својеручно убио десетине хиљада затвореника и заробљеника током 26 година на дужности–укључујући 7.000 осуђених пољских ратних заробљеника у продуженим масовним егзекуцијама[1][2] што га вероватно чини најпродуктивнијим званичним егзекутором у забележеноој људској историји.[1] Међу одликовањима која је добио су Орден симбола части (1937) и Орден црвене заставе (1941).[3]

Along with a team of about thirty NKVD men from Moscow, mainly drivers and prison guards, Blokhin arrived at the NKVD prison in Kalinin (Tver) and set himself up in a sound-proofed cellar room that had a sloping floor for drainage.
Blokhin worked fast and efficiently, killing an average of one men every three minutes during the course of ten-hour nights – the killings were always done at night, so that the bodies could be disposed of in darkness.
-Blokhin initially decided on an ambitious quota of 300 executions per night; and engineered an efficient system in which the prisoners were individually led to a small antechamber—which had been painted red and was known as the “Leninist room”—for a brief and cursory positive identification, before being handcuffed and led into the execution room next door. The room was specially designed with padded walls for soundproofing, a sloping concrete floor with a drain and hose, and a log wall for the prisoners to stand against.
-He had brought a briefcase full of his own Walther pistols, since he did not trust the reliability of the standard-issue Soviet TT-30 for the frequent, heavy use he intended. The use of a German pocket pistol, which was commonly carried by German police and intelligence agents, also provided plausible deniability of the executions if the bodies were discovered later. Another reason he used the Walther rather than his standard issue Tokarev was the blow back. The Walther’s lower recoil made it easier for him (as well as other executioners for the NKVD) to kill large numbers of people in one night. Walthers were readily available due to the cooperation between the Soviets and Nazi’s in which the Germans ended up giving a fair amount of arms to their Soviet Allies.
-Each night, 24–25 trenches, measuring eight to ten meters (24.3 to 32.8 feet) total, were dug by a bulldozer to hold the night’s corpses, and each trench was covered up before dawn.
-Blokhin and his team worked without pause for ten hours each night, with Blokhin executing an average of one prisoner every three minutes. At the end of the night, Blokhin provided vodka to all his men.
-His count of 7,000 shot in 28 days remains the most organized and protracted mass murder by a single individual on record; and saw him being named the Guinness World Record holder for ‘Most Prolific Executioner’ in 2010.
On April 27, 1940, Blokhin secretly received the Order of the Red Banner and a modest monthly pay premium as a reward from Joseph Stalin for his “skill and organization in the effective carrying out of special tasks”.
