I feel like you're ascribing a kind of logic to Stalin's purges that didn't exist. It definitely wasn't as straightforward or honest as determining what your ideology was, and then killing you if it wasn't the right one. You know the joke about "10 years hard labor for nothing? That can't be right..."?
