What exactly does it mean? Did Soviets randomly kill members of the CPUSA? Randomly killing your supporters doesn't seem to be a good way of expanding your power. Or does it mean that "unorthodox" members of the CPUSA were not executed in the US, but rather sent to Russia where they were executed? As it is, this sentence is not very clear. Reading this sentence literally, I sincerely doubt that "most of the American Communists who travelled to Russia were killed there"! --[[User:MarcoT2|MarcoT2]] 15:18, 17 July 2010 (EDT) | What exactly does it mean?
