... Mark Connolly IBII History 23rd Oct 2006 How did the purges enable Stalin to consolidate his rule? By the middle of 1932 opposition to Stalin's policies had grown significantly. Some party members were even publicly criticizing Stalin and called for the readmission of Leon Trotsky to the party. When this issue was discussed in the Politburo, Stalin demanded that all those who opposed him should be immediately removed from the party, arrested and executed. However Sergey Kirov (Stalin's best friend) was against this and for the idea of rehabilitation. When a vote was taken in the Politburo most voted against him. In 1934 during the 17th party congress, Kirov had gained just as much support as Stalin. For instance the congress gave him just as warm of a reception as Stalin. By the December 1st 1934 Kirov was assassinated. Stalin blamed his murder on a Trotskyite conspiracy to murder high ranking officials including himself.
