What is model causation paragraph?Show answer
"Stalin used the Great Purges above all to secure his total control by destroying any possible opposition and instilling fear. By arresting and executing old Bolsheviks, army officers and ordinary citizens, often through show trials where victims confessed to invented crimes, he removed rivals who might challenge him and made clear that no one was safe. The terror also provided scapegoats for the failures of the Five-Year Plans, blaming saboteurs and enemies for hardship.
