"external forces drove its development"

The worst of Stalin's purges were well before WW2 - I don't think you can blame external forces, certainly not ones active at that time, for Stalin's vicious paranoia.

The allies of WWI literally invaded Russian to intervene on the anti-Soviet side. I think that is the dictionary definition of an external force.

The purges came later. There was no external force driving those, only internal forces (specifically: Stalin's unquenchable thirst for power).

The foreign hate and intervention started long before Stalin.
