Stalin’s Great Purge was a textbook example of othering.
Originally targeting political dissidents, the purge soon consumed high-ranking officials, military leaders, intellectuals & even Stalin’s closest allies. The cycle followed a predictable pattern:
He is the worst kind of coward— driven by fear of his own reflection.
Unable to confront himself, he projects his insecurities onto others, shifts blame & evades responsibility at every turn. He is incapable of self-awareness, the very opposite of a leader.
