"The mass arrests and executions of the Great Terror in 1937-1938 thus did not disproportionately target Jews. It did directly target and disproportionately repress Poles, Latvians, Finns, and Germans."
Very interesting, since within a couple more years, Soviet Russia was attacking all four of these countries. From Hitler's proclamation of his military campaign against Soviet Russia in 1941:
"In the fall of 1939 and the spring of 1940 ... Russia undertook to subjugate by armed force not only Finland but also the Baltic states, she suddenly motivated this action by the assertion, as ridiculous as it was false, that she must protect these countries from an outside threat, or forestall it. This could only be meant to apply to Germany, for no other power could even intervene in the Baltic area, let alone go to war there."
Sounds like the Soviets were the aggressors here, not the Germans, and the purges of those ethnic nationalities within her borders in 1937-38 speaks to the planning involved. Can't have spies and sympathizers in the ranks when you want to go to war against their Mother and Fatherlands.
This was to have consequences for all of Europe; as Hitler said later in the same proclamation:
"Thus, and just as intended by this British-Soviet Russian cooperation, there came about the tying up of such strong [German] forces in the east that a radical conclusion of the war in the west, particularly as regards aircraft, could no longer be vouched for by the German leadership. This, however, was in line with the goals not only of British but also of Soviet Russian policy, for both Britain and Soviet Russia intended to let this war go on for as long as possible in order to weaken all Europe and render it ever more impotent."

How outrageous that the one leader doing the most to protect Europe in the 20th century - Adolf Hitler - ended up being vilified as the worst monster in history.
I hang my head in shame that I ever believed any of the Jewish lies.
good work, I look forward to part 2

Very good. Thank you.
Guess who the Kulaks are this time around.
Hello I spotted a few spelling errors. Thanks for writing these articles. I’ve been reading a good many of them. They are great!
The had 30,545 arrests
Should be: They had
with the the wholesale forced resettlement
Correction: repeated word “the”
These are not spelling errors. They are typos. As such I do not think they merit notice.
