Best Answer

Stalin had two sets of purges by "show trials." The first was directed against rival political figures like Zinoviev, Kamenev, Bukharin and other leading Bolshevik/Communist Party rivals. The second set was directed against officers of the Red Army. The purge of the party members kept Stalin in power. The purge of the army officers nearly lost it for him, because when World War 2 broke out, most of the experienced and capable officers had been eliminated.
