measures of imprisonment and assassinations that were especially infamous on the cases of the
reputed revolutionary heads Sergey Kirov and Trotsky where nearly everyone claimed that Stalin
was, with evidence, beyond match to the latter who had already employed successful leadership of
the Red Army (Pereira). That is why the state figured that it would be more advantageous if they
were eliminated and instead used the peasant workers to work in large state owned farms using
