Even the secret police themselves were not safe:
Genrikh Yagoda : Right-hand of Joseph Stalin. Head of the NKD Secret Police. He spied on everyone in Russia and jailed thousands of innocents. Yagoda was arrested and executed.

Nikolai Yezhov : Appointed head of the NKD Secret Police after the death of Yagoda. Arrested on fake charges, executed.

Everybody was absolutely terrified during this period. At least 600 000 people were killed and over 100 000 people were deported to Gulags in Siberia.
Today, Russian schools no longer teach what Joseph Stalin did. Many young russians actually believe that Stalin was a great patriot.
This is part of an effort by Vladimir Putin to rehabilitate him:

That but also teach the essential to all youth and people. Values, Connection-Communication, Empathy, Strength, Privacy, Security, Open Source, etc etc that way future problems do not happen because as a person they were raised well
The more people raised well the better off the whole planet will be

Half agree and half do not.
It wont be instant and we wont see how much it affects things but everybody raising/affecting others in a positive way will help a shit ton so we dont have more problematic people. Empathy and Strength. Values and Collaboration. Critical Thinking and Continuous Learning. Etc.
Current situation is fucked but we should never give up regardless. None of us can reach everybody but all of us can reach somebody even multiple somebodies.
People listen to those they admire, like being around, respect, etc. So that’s definitely a big avenue to make world better
Not saying kumbaya for those who do not deserve any empathy. Just tired of dealing with shitty people in life. You understand what I mean. This life is fucked but we make the most of it
