<u>The correct answer is "It shows similarities with Stalin's Great Purge and reveals how dictators use fear to control people".</u>
Stalin used diverse tactics to deceit the people and gain control over his image. Once he got to a position of perceived power, he used the secret police in the same way that Napoleon uses his dogs: to quiet down the opposition with the use of force and fear-spreading. <u>Public displays of violence as a form of punishment result in a society controlled by fear, where everyone behaves according to the imposition of a tyrant or dictator</u>.
