His plan for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was Stalinism, which supported class based violence, and deportation, and he wanted to rid the Soviet Union of the Bourgeoisie, and working class people with anti-revolutionary sympathies. The upper classes were violent to the classes below them and he believed that this accelerated the country towards communism, which was his end goal. So what he did to help this along was to start deportations, arrests and executions of those suspected to be against the communist movement in Soviet Russia. His chief executor, Vasily Blokhin, was infamous and is listed as the "Most Prolific Executioner" by Guinnes world records, as he killed 7,000 people at Katyn in 28 days. He did this by performing an execution by gunshot once every three minutes for 10 hours consecutively every night, He did this starting at nightfall and ended it just before dawn every morning and supplied his helpers with vodka at the end of this gruesome task. Eventually he was retired and turned to alcohol abuse and is listed to of died of suicide. So, in retrospect, Stalin's version of nationalism was not very nationalist at all, as it was committed against his own country, and pursued communism without taking into account the opinion of the people that made his nation.
