HOW
- The method of controlling he used were secret polices(Commissariat for Internal Affairs), purges, prison camps, state-run press, forced labor camps, executions, and etc.
- Fear, during the Purges a culture developed of informing on friends, loved ones, parents, neighbours and work colleagues. So people learnt not to say what they meant, but to only speak about certain things in glowing.

- Propaganda was everywhere, there were posters throughout the towns and villages, most films had a propaganda message and all plays and other artworks had to be produced using the Socialist Realism Style.
- Stalin also used rewards. Party members were rewarded for their loyalty and their good service. Non-party people were also rewarded for their hard work with gifts and medals - such as Stakhanovite medals and better apartments for these shock workers.
