In this episode, we dive into one of the darkest chapters of the 20th century: Stalin’s Great Purge. What began as political consolidation after Lenin’s death spiraled into a campaign of paranoia, show trials, forced confessions, and mass executions that claimed up to a million lives. From the Moscow Trials to the purge of the Red Army’s top commanders, we explore how Stalin eliminated rivals, silenced dissent, and reshaped the Soviet Union through fear. This is the story of power, paranoia, and the deadly cost of absolute control.
