In the late 1930's Stalin began a Systematic at times and Arbitary at times, Destruction of the City Population and The Communist party. He used his cronies in the Central Comittee to pass a decree authorizing terror to "Purge" the Population, Party, Goverment, and Military of all people who posed a threat to him, real or imaginary.
The Miltiary of the USSR was destroyed, with the Great Generals being tried, and executed, along with nearly 90% of the Military High Command (Generals, Commanders, Division Commanders, Admirals, Marshals, Etc).
The Very Central Comittee which voted for the decree, would late have 2/3 (800/1200) of itself being executed too. The NKVD doing the Purges would later be purged and executed too.
The Goverment who was doing the Purge, Yezhov and his Cronies (which were all cronies of Stalin), Orchestrated the Purge directly from Stalins Command, As Stalin had weekly meetings with yezhov about the matter. The Goverment officials were nearly all obliterated, and destroyed.
The Communist Party itself, Was Purged and wrecked. The Great Theoreticalists of Lenins time, and lenin's Heirs, would all be accused of Treason which they did not do, and all executed by shooting. Rykov, Riutin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Buhkarin, Yagoda,and dozens of Others Of Old Bolsheviks would all die with crying pleas for mercy under Stalins Hand. Trotsky would be the last one to fall to these purges. I quote here: "Noone has Ever Killed as many Communists as Stalin"
The Intelligentsia of the USSR would be destroyed, The Writers, Scientists, Diplomats, and Journalists would be either silenced or Executed or Sent to the dreadful Gulag. Even the Famous Writer Gorky fell to Stalin's Ordering of Yagoda to assasinate HIm and possibly his son too.
A Large number of 600,000 - 1,300,000 Soviet People were executed in this reign of terror, with millions more being sent and dying in the Gulag
