Soviet campaign of political repression, imprisonment, and execution (August 1936 - March 1938)
The Great Purge was a Soviet campaign between 1936 and 1938 in which the government imprisoned and executed large numbers of people for political reasons. It matters historically because it represents one of the most severe episodes of state-sponsored violence in the twentieth century and fundamentally shaped Soviet society during that period.
