“New dictators often purge the supporters who helped them come to power and replace them with the underlings of the previous regime.”
LEANS TRUE · MEDIUM CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Dictators often purge their initial supporters, but sources emphasize loyalist replacements over old-regime underlings.
Evidence strongly supports the claim that dictators frequently purge the supporters and first-generation elites who helped them seize power . These purges are a strategic tool to consolidate personal power and eliminate rivals who possess independent power bases or personal armies . Research indicates that dictators are more likely to incarcerate or exile these former allies than execute them . However, the specific claim that they are replaced by underlings of the previous regime is not explicitly confirmed by the provided sources. Instead, the evidence states that dictators populate key institutions with hand-selected loyalists , foreigners , or ethnically congruent officers who rely entirely on the new leader for their status and rewards . While dictators seek more reliable and submissive subordinates , the sources do not specify that these individuals are typically drawn from the previous administration's lower ranks.

MISSING CONTEXTWhile purges occur, the specific claim about replacing revolutionaries with old-regime underlings is a specific strategy, not a universal rule.
