How did the Soviets manage to kill him?

There's no reason the soviets couldn't have stand users.

The same way they deal with everything, zerg rush "tactics". Eventually, Stroheim ran out of ammo or food after sending hundreds if not thousands of commie scum to an early but deserved grave.

Unless he also has a perpetual motion machine, that laser eye requires fuel. So does his robot body.
Running out of fuel for mechanized warfare was a major problem for the Germans in Russia.

Deemed "dangerous" or too standout (he) and sent to the gulags/poisoned.

Not during world war 2. You need all the mass destruction weapons that you can get.

Tell that to Stalin, who sent all of his most effective men to the gulag.
Lack of effective officers (all purged) was the biggest reason for the early Russian losses in WW2. Even doctors wound up being purged. Bet your ass stand users would've either fled the country, been sent to a labor camp, or been summarily shot.

This. How do you think Polnareff's family ended up in frogland? I liked how in Youjo Senki, it was addressed that Soviet's authorities were so incompetent and compromised with their ideology that they systematically executed all their own magicians in the eve of a war against an empire with weaponized magicians.

There's nothing to understand. Araki killed him off. Simple as.

Stroheim was pretty fragile. The only reason why he stuck around for so long was because the German scientists were presumably able to recover him and put him back together, which I imagine would be difficult if he was blown up in the enemy territory.

nice propaganda

"Superior numbers, kid"

I assume he just got zerg-rushed and ran out of ammo and fuel
