1951 Russian Supreme Soviet election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supreme Soviet elections were held in the Russian SFSR on 18 February 1951,[1][2] as part of regional elections across the Soviet Union.
The elections took place amidst a series of purges of figures disliked by the government, including the anti-cosmopolitan campaign, the Trophy Affair, as well as deportations (including the deportation of the Soviet Greeks) and persecution of religions (including Operation North). The Cold War had also begun, including incidents such as the Berlin Blockade, Battle of Korea Strait and the Tito–Stalin split.
