→ Stalin's Purges. The Great Purge was a series of campaigns of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin in 1936-1938. The aim was to 'purify' Russia from the Communist party and government officials, also the repression of peasants and the Red Army leadership. The most intense purge was from 1937 to 1938, it was named Yezhovshchina [literally the Yezhov regime], after Nicolai Yezhov, the head of the Soviet secret police, NKVD. In just a few years, more than 10 million people were sent to labor camps, where most died. Another 1 500 000 people were executed.
