Question

which are accurate statements about joseph stalin? choose three correct answers. he banned organized religion. he created a secret police force. he sent his rivals into exile. he murdered his opponents. he created a single - party system. he was elected to office. he persecuted ethnic groups.

Explanation:

Joseph Stalin created a secret police force (the NKVD and its predecessors) to enforce his rule and suppress opposition. He sent political rivals into exile, such as Leon Trotsky. He also persecuted various ethnic groups during his regime, deporting them to remote areas of the Soviet Union. He did not ban organized religion completely, the Soviet - state had an anti - religious policy but religion was not fully eradicated. There is no evidence to suggest he murdered opponents in a direct sense as the term is commonly understood, and he was not elected to office in a democratic way.

Answer:

He created a secret police force.
He sent his rivals into exile.
He persecuted ethnic groups.
