	Great Purge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Purge is the name given to campaigns of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union during the late 1930s which included purges of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
		The purge was motivated by the desire on the part of the leadership to remove dissident elements from the Party and what is often considered to have been a desire to consolidate the authority of Joseph Stalin.
		Most public attention was focused on the purge of the leadership of the Communist Party itself, as well as of government bureaucrats and leaders of the armed forces, the vast majority being Party members.

	Purges of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although this term is mostly associated with Stalinism, the first purge of the Stalin era was performed only in 1929–1930 according to the resolution of the XVI Party Conference.
		The next systematic Party purge in the Soviet Union was declared in December 1932 to be performed during 1933.
		But from 1936 onwards, during the Great Purge, the term changed its meaning, because being expelled from the Party came to mean almost certain arrest, imprisonment or even execution.

	Gendercide Watch: Stalin's Purges
		The most prominent elements of Stalin's Purges, for most researchers, were the intensive campaigns waged within key Soviet institutions and sectors like the Communist Party, the Army, the NKVD (secret police), and scientists and engineers.
		From 35-39, women outnumbered men by 61 to 39 percent; from 40-54, the figure was 62 to 38 percent; in the 55-59 age group, 67 to 33 percent; from 60-69, 65 to 35 percent; and 70 or older, 68 to 32 percent.
		The impetus of the Purge waned at the end of 1938, by which time "the snowball system [of accusations] had reached a stage where half the urban population were down on the NKVD lists," and the proportion of the entire Soviet population arrested had reached one in every twenty.

	Guide for the Design of HRST-Purges... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The Shuttle system requires numerous purges for (1) closed compartment inerting (reduce O2), conditioning (humidity) and temperature control as well as (2) ice prevention external to the hardware and (3) protecting hardware from the elements (salt spray, SRB dust, corrosion).
		This is a driver of the GO2/GH2 pressline purge and the H2 vent shroud purge.
		The purge is desirable in pneumatic panels since enclosures protect against the environment; however, the elimination of functions reduces the baseline number of these panels.

	Starbuckist Purges - Uncyclopedia
		Though the lieutenant was known to enjoy a good cigar in his/her younger days, he/she came to see it as an evil influence sent down by the Lords of Kommunism to test the will of their human children.
		Sadly, no one was successful in pointing out to her that during the course of the purges she was constantly high on the hallucinogenic drugs that she used to be closer to the Lords of Kommunism.
		The purges were finally brought to an end when Captain Apollo infiltrated the inner reaches of the purges' perpetrator via the "back-door" (creating enough of the debilitating drug "ecstasy" to drive all thoughts of murder from the hermaphrodite lieutenant's head).

	The Tyrant of Bosnia - by Nebojsa Malic
		Using this excuse as a pretext, Bosnia's viceroy Paddy Ashdown launched a massive purge in the Bosnian Serb Republic (RS), which he exclusively blamed for the perceived "failure": 60 Serb officials were proscribed, sacked and banned from holding public office.
		Ashdown justified the purge by accusing the ruling Bosnian Serb party of corruption, incompetence and aiding "war criminals," but did not provide any evidence aside from his own assertions.
		Each purge, each "reform" and each new program for "Euro-Atlantic integration" has transferred more power from Bosnia's two entities to the central government, eroding the arrangement that ended the war in 1995.

	The "Great Purges" Reconsidered by J. Arch Getty
		The "purges" (in Russian, chistki or "cleansings") were periodic attempts by the central CPSU leadership, the Central Committee and the Politburo, to find out who was in the Party, and to strengthen it organizationally.
		The "purges" culminated in the Party elections of 1936 and 1937, which resulted in a great turnover of lower and middle-level Party leadership by democratic vote of the Party membership.
		Time and again, the attempts during the "purges" (or "cleansings") to tighten up this record-keeping, and to force party officials to get to know Party members personally, fell afoul of the main job these officials were supposed to perform -- economic production and management.

		The report is the first in the nation to examine the purge structures and procedures of 15 states, which represent the wide variety of disfranchisement laws.
		No Purge Criteria: None of the states surveyed requires its officials to use any specific or minimum criteria to ensure that an individual with a felony conviction is the same individual being purged from the voter rolls.

		His replacement, Ndaweni Mahlangu, who was handpicked by the president, began the purge of the Phosa support base but failed miserably to halt in-fighting or assert real leadership.
		Mahlangu is still in his post, but he and his MECs must be absolutely clear that the only way to hold onto their jobs is to toe the party line at all times.

		IT is easy to see the Inquirer special report series by Juan V. Sarmiento on the bloody purges of the Communist Party in the 1980's as another case of the revolution devouring its own children.
		In what should be a classic case of spinmeistering, aboveground organizations connected with the communist movement launched a campaign at the height of the purges to press the government to release information about the so-called "desaperacidos"--leftist activists who had suddenly disappeared from public view allegedly because of military and police illegal detention or summary execution.
		Against the oft-repeated claim of communist bosses that human-rights violations are inherently state commissions and are therefore, not to be blamed on state enemies, there has emerged the belief that non-state armed groups should be made equally culpable for violence.

	Only 7 CPP cadres disciplined for purges - Dec. 29, 2003

		Liwanag said the arrests of party leaders, which the proponents of the purges attributed to enemy infiltrators, were a result of the concentration of leading staff organs in the cities where they were "vulnerable to surveillance and punitive actions by the enemy."
		"We have to point out that, as regard the Left purge, there is enough responsibility or blame to share among certain leaders of both the RA and the RJ factions of the communist or national democratic Left," Soliman M. Santos Jr.

		Soviet Russia organized the purges in part because it needed more prison camp inmates as cheap workforce for the country's industrialization drive ordered by Stalin.
		Yakov Vizel, then head of NKVD's Primorye regional branch, wrote on one of the purge directives from his superiors, "I prohibit arresting innocent people." He was arrested in a month and took poison in a detention cell because he realized that he was facing execution.

Ambassadors (volunteers who served as TWI missionaries for yearlong terms) in 1994 were suspected to be homosexual, Martindale spearheaded an effort to expose and expel all “homos” and “homo sympathizers” from the group, beginning with its leadership.
		The group since has sought to discipline (by withholding communion) or purge all who do not tithe their income to The Way.

		In its January 1 issue, the New Republic reported that the list-producing firm had been hired "months before the election." In fact, the law mandating the purge (Florida Statute 98.0975) was passed in the wake of a Miami mayoral race in which a judge found felons and dead people to have voted.
