Very much the same methods that Hitler used- he would have suspected opponents of his regime continually watched and surveyed, then have the KGB spring upon them when they were not expecting it and have them arrested and subject to systematic interrogation, torture, and threats to their families and loved ones as a means of forcing false confessions out of them. With others he wouldn't bother even doing this, he would just have them executed or sent away to the gulag camps of Siberia for many years, where many hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation, cold, overwork or ill-treatment by the camp guards. Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao all used these methods to quell dissent- so did Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Stalin killed millions of people, and George Orwell's novel 'Nineteen Eighty Four' is meant to be a thinly-veiled condemnation of Stalin's Soviet Union. If you've ever read this, the way that Winston Smith is treated is typical of the methods Stalin used against dissidents.

Very simple he killed them. He would send his police squad to arrest someone in the middle of the night and they would never be seen again. People feared him so much that he had a stroke in his office and laid on the floor two or three days before it was discovered he was dead. His men were afraid to bother him and until a cleaning lady came they didn't open the door to his office.
