The use of terror became a central part in the Soviet Regime of the 1930's as a near perfect state machine of terror was being created through Stalin and the OGPU.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg#_ftn1 Basically the secret police were given free reign and anyone who could be labeled as an enemy of the state could and would be arrested without reason or warning. Another part of the terror machine was the thought of the Party Secretarient and the OGPU collecting information on all citizens and that neighbors of yours could inform on you if you were to say anything negative about Stalin or the communist party.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg#_ftn2 The first purge of the Communist party can be traced back to 1918, thereafter every few years members would be kicked out or worse if they were deemed to not be supportive of the Communist cause anymore. However in 1934 the murder of Kirov changed everything and triggered an event that is now known as "The Great Purges". Stalin now purged the Communist party and other sectors of the Communist as had never been seen before. Some larger members who were 'purged' are Zinoviev from the Left Opposition, Tomsky and Bukltarin from the Right Opposition 3000 members from the Secret Police and both heads of it as well as three out of the five marhalls and 15 commanders from the Red Army along with 37,000 officers.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg#_ftn3 Show trials were held for more important figures and old Balsheviks, however these trials were just to fool the public that there were just reasons behind the mass executions and exiles. Stalin used the Terror and Purges as a way to help push forward the five year plans.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg#_ftn4
