Russian term or phrase: в чекистской буче
Отзывался он о Павле очень хорошо. Сказал, что он погиб в чекистской буче.

(Речь идет о человеке, арестованном во время войны органами НКВД и впоследствии расстрелянном.)

English translation:Purges
Explanation:
That's the word that is most commonly used when describing the Soviet repressions of the late 30s and on. The man died during/in the purges. You can add "Cheka" in front of them, but that's largely superfluous.

neutral  The Misha: This has nothing to do with any turmoil. At least that's not how natives phrase it in applicable sources.

  -> The turmoil caused or created by Cheka is the result of his death. Purge or not purge-- whatever Cheka did created the turmoil and he died.
