The group that was specifically targeted was the Communist party . In greater detail it would be all the original members of the communist party allied with Stalin, the upper class communist, and middle class communist party.

How did Joseph Stalin help the people of the USSR?

What happened to people that disagreed with Joseph Stalin?

Joseph Stalin sent people to Siberia when they didn't agree with him. He would have some people shipped to work camps in Siberia, exiled from the country or imprisoned and/or executed. Obviously, Stalin did not do those things to everyone who had a disagreement with him. He accepted some disagreements and had many more less extreme methods of dealing with such people. Stalin might have someone expelled from positions in the organs of the Communist Party or from the Party itself. He might dismiss someone from a job or position. Some people simply fell out of his favor and were relegated to unimportant tasks. If Stalin did not do those things to the person who disagreed with him, he might do them to a close family member of that person. Stalin had the wife of his Prime Minister and closest adviser during World War 2, Molotov, arrested and imprisoned. To some people, like Leon Trotsky, Stalin did "all of the above." He did this even to his own friends and family. As Stalin became more powerful, he became more ruthless. As he became more ruthless, he became more paranoid and fearful of revenge. He believed that differences of opinion meant lack of loyalty, which he saw as a sign of a potential threat from that person against him.

Who was executing people?

Throughout history, various regimes, governments, and groups have executed people, often for political, ideological, or punitive reasons. Notable examples include totalitarian states like Nazi Germany, where the regime executed millions during the Holocaust, and the Soviet Union under Stalin, which saw widespread purges. In modern contexts, authoritarian governments may carry out executions for dissent or opposition. Additionally, some militant groups have also engaged in executions as a means of instilling fear or enforcing their ideologies.

Who was the worse Lenin or Stalin?

By far Joseph Stalin was worse than Lenin. Stalin sent millions of people to their unjustifiable deaths. Although Lenin was the leader of the soviet revolution he was never in power long enough to be responsible for the shear magnitude of human atrocities committed by Stalin. Lenin, however, was responsible for purging parts of some ethnic and government opposition groups. Stalin was one of Lenin's "enforcers" and would kill innocent people without cause, question, or concern. It was after Lenin's death when Stalin took over and had many high ranking military and revolutionary officer/officials executed. Also, he sent millions of innocent Soviets to Siberia as slaves and work them essentially to their deaths.
