Repressions in the Soviet Union are traditionally associated with Joseph Stalin, but this does not capture the broader reality of what took place across the Soviet Union. Repression was a foundational pillar of the regime from the very beginning. Professor Zauresh Saktaganova identifies and sheds light on the meanings and mechanisms of repression, aiming to assess the extent of its impact through Kazakhstan's history, spanning various stages of persecution.
