Why did Stalin begin the purges?
After the upheavals that accompanied collectivization of agriculture and the First Five Year Plan in the late 1920's and 30's, there was much opposition in the USSR to the rule of the Communist Party and to Stalin personally. Stalin saw threats everywhere.
It was Czech intelligence, who had an agent in Nazi Party Headquarters in Munich, who picked up the information that leaders of the Soviet Red Army and Navy were plotting with the German Abwehr (Army Intelligence) to overthrow Stalin. President Benes of Czechoslovakia divulged this plot to Stalin over the telephone personally. His nephew, Boz Benez, with whom I studied told me so personally. From Benes, Russia's ally at that time, the incriminating evidence began to flow into Stalin, as one would imagine in the paranoid environment that existed in the USSR at that time. Still even paranoids have enemies. Stalin said there was a plot and ordered his subordinates to look into it. It was the duty of Soviet intelligence subordinates to find the evidence and fill in the details. Otherwise they are not doing their duty!
It is said that this whole episode was a German Intelligence coup. They planted this information with the Czech agent and fostered it. But I wonder! With the mass of the people, and half the Party leadership hostile to Stalin by the mid 1930's, why wouldn't leaders of the armed forces faced with an approaching war be immune to such sentiments? It is essential to mention the Great Purges, because these purges-which led to the deaths of senior officials in every sector of the government-were fueled by Stalin's paranoia, and led him to seek unchallenged authority in every one of these government sectors. The Red Army had only been recently reestablished by Stalin, and he felt there were various leaders whom were not especially loyal to Stalin-because they didn't agree with the direction Stalin was taking the Soviets. Thus, he persecuted, deported, jailed, and killed many of the most educated and experienced military leaders. This led to military failure in the invasion of Finland, as well as when Operation Barbarossa was unleashed upon Russia's western border by the German in June 1941.
