Joseph Stalin controlled the USSR through a method called fear. This involved the secret police that he made during his time and leader of the USSR these secret police where known as the NKVD. In the middle of the night this police force would arrest and send anyone who was thought of as an opponent of Stalin or a supporter of an opponent to Stalin into the Gulags. In the end the number of people sent to the gulags became millions and it is said that everybody who lived in the USSR in that time lost somebody they knew to a Gulag. The reason people where so scared of these gulags is because they where forced to do hard and pointless labour and many people there died for exhaustion or starvation.
