Consequences of a tough crackdown on groups and individuals that immediately threatened the maintenance of the USSR; it was a must to slam down, those caught in the quake were unfortunate byproducts. Herberg points out in regards to Stalin, and in passing Lenin, that none of the Western journalists or press shed a tear for the assassination of Bolsheviks, but they wept for those whites and counter-revolutionaries who were killed; one might say it is unfair, the difference of size, but it is the fate of everything, and everything must be done to preserve it.
