After the death of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin, the infamous Josef Stalin became the powerful Premier of the Soviet Union. In the late 1930s, Stalin began a ruthless campaign known as The Great Purge, referred to by the people of Russia as The Great Terror. Any person or group perceived in Stalin’s paranoid, twisted mind as a threat to his power was arrested. After a sham trial, they were either executed on the spot, or sent to the notorious Siberian Gulags (prison camps). Today, we see the same from Vladimir Putin.
