| | Great Purge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The purge was motivated by the desire on the part of the leadership to remove dissident elements from the Party and what is often considered to have been a desire to consolidate the authority of Joseph Stalin. |  | | The purge of the Party was accompanied by the purge of the whole society. |  | | The purge of the Red Army was claimed to be supported by Nazi-forged documents (said to have been created by Nazi spymaster Reinhard Heydrich) which were introduced through an intermediary, President Beneš of Czechoslovakia. |

 | | The Great Purge was a period of Soviet history in the late 1930s during which the Communist Party purged itself of potential traitors and those whose loyalty to the USSR was in doubt by mass imprisonment and sometimes execution in preparation for the coming Nazi invasion. |  | | The Great Purge was a period of mass repression in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s, during which the Communist Party leadership under Joseph Stalin used execution and mass imprisonment to eliminate existing and potential political opposition among its members. |  | | Kulaks who were imprisoned or killed could not be considered "purged" as they were not Party members, but "class enemies". |

| | The Purge |
 | | In the latter part of 1938 the Soviet leadership decided to lessen the intensity of the purge in the army and party and to reduce the rate of inflow of new prisoners into concentration camps. |  | | On this occasion the accused were not only charged with having carried out espionage for Germany and Japan and with conspiracy against the leaders of the USSR but also with having planned in the past the murder of Kirov, Lenin, Maxim Gorkii, and others. |  | | Tukhachevskii and his immediate associates denied these charges; and the only ''real'' evidence to establish their guilt was all falsified dossier that had been planted with the NKVD by the German Gestapo. |

 | | In the years 1935-1938 the great Moscow show trials destroyed the top echelon of Party leadership while a large number of less dramatic trials led to the execution of hundreds of thousands of Communists. |  | | Any failure on the part of the NKVD to uncover the whereabouts of the enemy only confirmed that Oppositionists were able not only to cover their tracks but also to infiltrate official organizations. Following the First Show Trial in August that condemned Trotsky, Kamenev and Zinoviev, the predicament of former Oppositionists became worse still. |  | | Prosopographical studies have shown that, despite allegations, many victims of the Great Purge had no real links to any Opposition whatsoever. Yet interest in factual accuracy should not preclude an appreciation of the very real effects of the Communist perception of things, however phantasmagoric. |

Yagoda, head of the NKVD 1934-1936, himself secretly supported the opposition and carried out crimes at their behest, eg arranging the murder of S.M. Kirov (Dec 1934) and poisoning world-renowned author M. Gor'kii (Jun 1936). |
