Joseph Stalin is known for his Great Purge, or also called The Great Terror. Stalin's Great Terror was a very effective, if not the most effective way of inducing fear into now only the citizens of the Soviet Union, but the military, Red Army leadership, and government officials as well. This exercise of a great massive purging of anyone created great paranoia with the people of the Soviet Union. Hundreds of thousands of victims were falsely accused of various political crimes like sabotage, anti-Soviet agitation, wrecking, and espionage.
