The Great Purge was a campaign of political repression in the Soviet Union orchestrated by Joseph Stalin from 1934 to 1939. It did not take place on a specific day.
On the 4th of October 1957, the Soviet Union sent Sputnik into orbit. A month later the Soviets would send Laika, First living creature (a dog) in orbit around the Earth. The Americans thinking that they were years ahead of the Soviets had a nice little wake up call.

in the winter! Get over it!
Although initially Hitler wanted the USSR as an ally (or at least as a neutral), the Soviet takeover of German-occupied territory in Romania showed that Stalin had no intention of ceding European domination to Germany. Rather than wait for an eventual clash, Hitler and his advisors decided to preemptively seize control of the Soviet heartland, and then use its resources to fuel the German war machine.A month before the official German-Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement (January 10, 1941), directives had been already issued for the swift takeover of the USSR. German troops launched Operation Barbarossa on June 22, 1941. Historians have observed that without the supplies received from the USSR from 1939 to 1941, Germany would likely not have had the resources to mount their invasion.In hindsight it seems like a suicidal idea and history showed that it was. Hitler broke the cardinal rule of warfare: Do not underestimate your enemy. He expected the Soviet peasants to be no match for his armies. Expansionism drove him to seek, " living space" he called it, for the German people. He had no idea that the 'Invincible Reich' was about to get its first-ever hammering.the first of two reasons was that the German dictator adolph Hitler believed that Germany needed more living space for his people than the land inside the German Reich could afford.secondly the ideaology of national socialism(the nazi,s) considered that communism was there mortal enemies.
