Abstract
- The article investigates the question of mass participation in the Great Terror in the Soviet Union in 1937. The author analyzes the proliferation of repressive measures both in and through unions by tracing party directives from the Central Committee down to union members. Moreover, the author contends that repression was a mass phenomenon. Repression was closely related in 1937 with a campaign for union democracy, a mass movement for secret ballots and worker participation. Furthermore, the paper also highlights Stalinism, social movements and comparative genocide.
