I can infer from Source A that life was full of fear for the Russians under Stalin's rule. The source states, "When I was ten years old, my father was taken from my home in the middle of the night by the Stalin's Secret Police," and "we were banned from our town" This suggests that life for the Russians were really harsh, as Stalin and his workers were torturing people and taking them away from their homes. Russian families also lost their family members. The people in Russia lived in fear and thus making life for the Russians really frightening under Stalin's rule.

I can infer from Source A that the people of russia were wrongfully accused and taken by force by stalin's secret police. " he disappeared and later we discovered that he was accused of espionage because he corresponded with his parents in Romania ". this tells us that even though Anatole Konstantin's father only communicate by exchanging letters and have a close similarity with his parents, he was captured for that. the secret police didn't even give him a chance to explain himself and just took him away.

I can infer from Source A that the Russians lived in fear under Stalin's brutal rule. This is evident in "my father was taken from my home in the middle of the night by the Stalin's Secret Police". This suggests that it is not uncommon for Russians to be taken away at random times of the day, and Russians have to live in fear for every minute of their life as there is a chance that they will get taken away by the Stalin's Secret Police.

i can infer from source b that many people hated stalin for sending many people to labor camps and gulags where they would be executed. this can be seen from" you liquidated as many as 20 million peasant , exiled almost all, all the children died and there are no families whose children remained alive." this suggest that stalin's purge has not achieved the effect that he wanted which was total loyalty of his people.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source B that the Russians lived a torturous live under Stalin's rule. This is evident in Source B, "The Party led the Russian people into slavery and deprived them of will, freedom and life." This suggests that Stalin took away the freedom of the Russians and the Russians could not retaliate.

I can infer from Source C that Stalin was extremely ruthless and was unafraid to commit morally wrong acts such as murder and framing to carry out his goals. I know this because the source states "Stalin came to the conclusion that if he could prove that Zinoveiev and Kamenev and other leaders of the opposition had shed the blood of Kirov, the beloved son of the party, then he would be justified in demanding blood for blood." This tells me that Stalin was willing to frame

I can infer from Source C that Stalin used the assassination of Kirov in order to get rid of the opposition party. The source states that "Stalin decided to arrange the assassination of Kirov and to lay the crime at the door of the former leader of the opposition and thus with one blow do away with Lenin's former comrades' This suggests that Stalin used Kirov assassination in order to get rid of his political opponents

I can infer from Source C that if any politician dares to oppose Stalin who was a manipulative politician, he/she would be made answerable to false accusations by Stalin and were imprisoned and executed eventually. This can be seen from the source which states, "Stalin decided to arrange for the assassination of kirov and lay the crime at the door of the former leaders of the opposition and thus with one blow do away with Lenin's former comrades.". This tells us that Stalin eliminated politicians who did not support him ruthlessly and were supporters of Lenin as they were seen as a threat in his political career.

What can you infer from Source E about the lives of the intellectuals under Stalin's rule?

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source E that the lives of the intellectuals is full of suffering.i can see this coz source E states that"he was one of the several hundred scientists expelled in purge of the Academy of Sciences."this suggest that the intellectuals were punished and tortured and oppressed under stalin's rule as he did not want them to overturn soviet union.therefore their lives were full of fear of being assinated .

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source E that the Soviet government were merciless and threatening.The source states that "He was broken down by interrogations and by threats against his family and finally confessed to be involved in a rebellion against the Soviet government in 1927.The breaking point had come when his interrogator had got up in his presence and made a call to order the arrest of his wife,Zina." This suggests that the Soviet government were not backing down until they got what they wanted and even people who made big discoveries of Russia were killed.

What can you infer from Source F about the lives of the intellectuals under Stalin's rule?

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from source f that a lot of innocent people were sent to concentration camps even though they have done nothing wrong. this can be seen from " i don't believe my father was an enemy of the people. of course i thought he was innocent. yet i believed there were undoubtedly enemies of the people." this suggests that many people supported Stalin but it was the inefficient purge that brewed hatred towards him.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source F that innocent people were killed intentionally.The source states that "I was utterly convinced that it was through their sabotage that good people like my father were wrongly put to jail.I read about them in the press and hated them as much as anyone.With the Komsonol I went on demonstrations to protest against the enemies of the people.We cried "Death to the enemy of the people" The newspaper gave us these slogans.They filled our heads with these show trials.We read the terrible confessions by Bukharin and other Party leader.We were horrified.If such people were spies,then the enemies were everywhere."This suggests that people lived in fear that they would be killed one day.

I can infer from Source G that Stalin tortured his opponents to make them confess what they know. I know this because source G states that ''Tukhachevsky's interrogation were directly supervised by NKVD Chief Nikolai Yezhov. Stalin instructed Yezhov," See for yourself, but Tukhachevsky should be forced to tell everything...''This suggests that all of Stalin's enemy's were tortured until they tell the teuth.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source G that Stalin was merciless, he used torture to make his opponents to come clean, in order to keep the country safe. The source states that," Tukhachevsky's interrogation and torture was directly supervised by NKVD Chief Nikolai Yezhov. Stalin instructed Yezhov," See for yourself, but Tukhachevsky should be forced to tell everything....Its impossible that he acted alone," and " a broken Tukhachevsky to confess that he was a German agent in cahoots with Nikolai Bukharin to seize power". This suggests that Stalin wanted did not care about his captives as long as he got his answers.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source H that Stalin wanted more control over the Soviet Union. I know this as source H states that ''a close military court ordered the execution of a group of the Soviet Union's most talented and experienced army officers, .The most common theory  has Stalin fabricating a military conspiracy to tighten his control over the Soviet State. ''This suggests Stalin did not want other people to have control over Soviet Union.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source H that Stalin was paranoid that he could be killed and thrown off. The source states that, " a close military court ordered the execution of a group of the Soviet Union's most talented and experienced army officers, including Marshal Mikhail  Tukhachevsky--all were charged with participating in a Nazi plot to overthrow the regime of Joseph Stalin". This could mean that Stalin wanted to have the people that could threaten his power or life killed.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source H that the Red Army had to obey Stalin's order no matter how ruthless it was. I say this as Source H states" The most common theory has Stalin fabricating a miltary conspiracy to tighten his control over the Soviet State" This suggests a theory that Stalin instructed the Red Army to kill anyone who were deemed as threats and enemies and obey his order even though it meant executing many other people.

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source G that Stalin tortured everyone from the Red army under his rule if they opposed him and were forced to abide him. I say this as Source G states that "Tukhachvesky' s interrogation and torture were directly supervised.... Tukhachvesky should be forced to tell everything" This suggests that the people who opposed him or even suspected of opposing him were tormented brutally until they confessed the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
i can infer from the source that the people under stalin rule lived under the rule of fear. As the source states," Kirov's assassination served as the basis for 7 separate trials for the arrest and execution of hundreds of notable figures in soviet political ,military and social life." This suggest that stalin used his power and authority to assassinate those who opposed him and to frighten away his rivals.

I can infer from Source I ...

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer from Source I that the key leaders were a threat to Stalin, therefore Stalin sent people to murder them. I know this because the source states that, "Whatever Stalin's precise role in the assassination of his political rival, Kirov, he used the murder as a pretext for eliminating his opponents in the Communist Party, the government, the armed forces and the intelligentsia." This tells me that Stalin wanted to have Kirov killed as Kirov was a threat to Stalin and may replace him anytime.

the political impact of stalin on the soviet union was that he wiped out almost all anti-stalinist and anyone that he thought was opposing him in any way.  " stalin decided to arrange for the assasination of kirov and to lay the crime at the door of the former leaders of the opposition and thus with one blow do away with lenin's former comrades. " this suggests that with the competitive and potential future leaders gone, everything would be under stalin's control -- the best politician for the time being as he had wiped out almost all his competitors.
