What was the Great Terror in the Soviet Union?
Sometime around the Stalin and Lenin era, what was it? When I searched it, all I found was it was a book, but I don't think that's what my professor means. Is there any other meaning?
A genocide (the Great Purge)
Great Purge was a series of campaigns of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union orchestrated by Joseph Stalin in 1936-1938. Also described as a "Soviet holocaust" by several authors, it involved the purge of the Communist Party and Government officials, repression of peasants, Red Army leadership, and the persecution of unaffiliated persons, characterized by widespread police surveillance, widespread suspicion of "saboteurs", imprisonment, and executions. According to the archive data in 1937-38 the number of death sentences was 681,692 and many more died in GULAG labor camps.
In Russian historiography the period of the most intense purge, 1937-1938, is called Yezhovshchina (Russian: Ежовщина, literally: time of Yezhov), after Nikolai Yezhov, the then head of the Soviet secret police, NKVD.
In the Western World the term "the Great Terror" was popularized by the title of Robert Conquest's book. The book, The Great Terror, was in turn inspired by the period of the Great Terror (French: la Grande Terreur) at the end of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution.
