Soviet Repression refers to the harsh measures taken by the Soviet government to control its citizens and eliminate dissent. This included censorship, imprisonment, and even execution of those who opposed the regime. The KGB, the secret police, played a significant role in enforcing these policies, instilling fear among the population. During the era of Joseph Stalin, repression intensified, leading to widespread purges and the infamous Gulag system, where millions were sent to labor camps. These actions aimed to maintain power and suppress any potential threats to the Communist Party, resulting in a climate of fear and mistrust throughout the Soviet Union.
