Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as General Secretary of the Communist Party in December of 1991. This resignation was a compilation of the Soviet Union's failing economy and pressure from citizens and others to let the Soviet Union become a democracy.
The Great Purge, which occurred in the Soviet Union from 1936 to 1938, was closely associated with Joseph Stalin, the General Secretary of the Communist Party. It involved widespread political repression, including the persecution of perceived enemies within the Communist Party, the military, and various social groups. The purge led to the execution, imprisonment, or exile of millions, significantly impacting Soviet society and politics. Key figures associated with the purge include Nikolai Yezhov, who oversaw the NKVD during this period, and many high-ranking Communist officials who were targeted.

Canada has never been officially communist. However, the Liberal Party has often taken the parts of communism that they have found more juicy (such as heavy taxes and gun control) and used them. The closest Canada has ever been to becoming communist was when Pierre Trudeau enacted the National Energy Program, which involved rich provinces (namely Alberta) redistrubuting their surpluses to poorer provinces. There are four communist parties and several communist movements in Canada. The New Democratic Party is the most powerful.
