purge



Purges are getting rid of undesirables from goverment or other aspects of life. Stalin was an example. Since he was a paraniod man he would get rid of anyone that he thought a threat to him. At the end of his reign he had arrested more that 7million people. Almost all of them were sent to work camps in Sibera.
