Joseph Stalin terminated all of the below groups except:-Kulaks-Original Bolsheviks-Ukrainians-Secret police-Military high command
My first instinct is to say he purged all of those groups. If he did not then the one he would nt have is the Secret Police, Stalin and Beria were very close but I am not convinced he did not purge every segment of society of unpatriotic, traitorous elements.
Considering the numbers range from 20 to 60 million deaths during his rule it's hard to believe all these groups didnt suffer his wrath in some form or another.
I'm going to guess on this one....Original Bolsheviks.
You are forgetting Trotsky. He is one of the original troika that was purged as being a counter-revolutionary.
I will have to look up the citation but I am pretty certain the NKVD, which was the secret police, was purged in the 20's and 30's just like everybody else.
