The Great Purge (1936–1938)
Abstract
The last chapter delves deep into the political situation prevailing in Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and tries to analyze how the forceful suppression of all voices of dissent during the 1920s in Russia ultimately paved the way for the Great Purge of the late 1930s. All information regarding the arrest and execution of Indian émigré revolutionaries in Russia during this period, moreover, references the posthumous rehabilitation of some of them, has been mentioned in this chapter.
