Stalin grad 1942 a bloody battle was going on between the Soviet Union and the Nazi’s the tale you are about to hear is what actually happened that event in 1942.
Stalin was from the Soviet Union and one of his goals was to become the general secretary. Anyone granted this position held vast power by allowing certain people to come into the communist party. In 1927, Stalin gained power and by 1928, he established the First Five Year Plan; an increase in industrial output by 250% in 5 years by having collective farms in place of individual farms. Havoc continued to what is known as Stalin’s famine. During this time, many Ukrainians were isolated from food, starving an estimated 10 million to death. This resulted in many businesses being seized, people living in extremely minute spaces with only a bed, and anyone who complained of such conditions was killed. Stalin continued his frantic reign by setting up the Gulag, which sent many prisoners, even those that hardly complained, to forced-labor camps, many of which were in Siberia. Being sent here meant a life sentence to being a slave worker for the rest of the short life individuals had left in them, or being
From 1920 -1953, Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.The USSR was transformed, from a peasant society into an industrial and military superpower. He arranged farming and anyone he saw as an enemy; they were either executed or sent to forced labor camps. In World War II, he aligned with the United States and Britain but came in an intense relationship in the Cold War.
World leaders are leaders with high governmental power in the world. Every leader, not just world leaders, is either great or corrupt; they are rarely both. Most of Russia’s history is filled with corrupt leaders. Joseph was one of those leaders. Stalin killed millions of people during his rule. But Stalin also led the Soviet Union almost to the top in world power. Stalin had many influences that led him to his Soviet Leadership in which gave him many admirers but even more non-supporters.
Joseph Stalin was a Russian that controlled the Soviet Union, and was also a world communist leader for nearly 30 years. Stalin was voted up as a member of the Tbilisi committee in 1901. This committee was the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party. In 1902, Stalin was arrested and sent to a prison in Siberia. After Stalin escaped from prison, he started robbing banks and raided money transports during the revolution. Later on, Stalin was an avid participator in the congresses of the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party. Stalin made a particular political system that worked for his people. This political system included, "unprecedented severity in police control, bureaucratic centralization, and personal dictatorship" ("Joseph Stalin"). In 1929, Joseph Stalin took over the Soviet Union as the new leader of the Communist Party. Stalin built a personal empire that was just for him. This personal empire was established through his control over all levels of committee appointments. Stalin then turned the people of the Soviet Union on his side so he could get them to vote against his rivals. In the 1930s and up, Stalin started to take charge of the political system he made, but took over as official leader of it in May of 1941. During his dictatorship, one of his policies included having the Party maintain control over supplies so the Soviets could have a source of capital for industrialization. Stalin then demanded that peasants should be executed, or killed off, so he could control the farms even more. When the peasants resisted, tons of livestock were killed and tons of grain were burned so they wouldn't have to surrender their livestock or grain. Stalin succeeded this by collecting 89.6% of the grain and having killed off 10 million peasants (“Ukrainian Famine”). Later on in his dictatorship, central planning was instituted, secret police carried out mass arrests, executions, and deportations.
When Joseph Stalin was in control on Russia it meant that the people lost freedom. Everything that was done in the USSR had to be approved by the government. The people of Russia had no access to the media. Stalin believed that capitalist societies were driven by self-interest and oppressed people. In Churchill's "Iron Curtin Speech" he is talking about the necessary actions to maintain peace in Europe. Stalin's response to him seems like he's provoking other European nations to initiate warfare against Russia. Stalin compares Chruchill's words to those of Hitler regarding "racial theory" and says "Churchill only calls to the English-speaking nations of the world" (Joseph Stalin: Reply to Churchill, 1946). When Stalin made this accusation,
Stalin formed a centralized government that did not tolerate any other opinions. He wanted to control everyone and all parts of their life. Over the next several years, Stalin started to bring in all industrial and agricultural systems under control of the government. This was done under what was called Stalin’s Five year plans. One of the main things Stalin did was seize farmer’s lands and force them to give all of their produce to the government. The government would then sell the produce to other countries for profit and leave the farmers and their families with almost nothing. Stalin also took control over all parts of the government and military. He eliminated any leaders who did not agree with him and follow his commands. Stalin strengthened the Secret Police that had been created by Lenin, after the revolution, and all Russian citizens were afraid to say anything against Stalin and the communists because the Secret Police were

On August 29,1939 just before world war II broke out is when German and the soviet union surprised the world by signing the German-soviet nonaggression pact, in which both sides agreed to no military action against each other. Both Hitler and Stalin were the same in what they wanted for their nations and how they were able to convince people to join their cause. Only their friendship did not last for very long. Hitler and Stalin both had the same ideas for their nations with only minor differences. Hitler wanted to turn Germany into a major superpower without any of the western nations knowing what Germany was planning.
A single-party state is a form of government where there is one political party that is the absolute government, as well as the absence of other opposing parties. In the 1920s a single party state occurred when Stalin established a communist dictatorship in the USSR. During his leadership Stalin hoped to modernize the Soviet economy, and maintain his position as the sole leader of the single-party state. In order to accomplish his goals, Stalin established policies within the USSR. However some of these policies did not end triumphantly. A successes of Stalin were the Great Purges, however his rule also faced failures such as the Five Year Plan. Additionally, the Collectivisation program, introduced by Stalin, was considered both a success
Not all the filmmakers have the capacity of gathering sensitive political and historical material and turn it into a pleasurable satirical parody that stirs our intellect in a totally different way. With just a couple of feature-length films, Italian-born Armando Iannucci is surely one of them, asserting his gift with comedies such as “In The Loop”, and now “The Death of Stalin”, a tongue-in-cheek caricature of the post-Stalinism struggle for power. Its conception was based on the French graphic novel of the same name.
Joseph Stalin was given the nickname as the “sphinx of the Kremlin.” Many historians believed that Stalin was the inevitable piece of the puzzle left to complete world peace. In 1939, the British and French were negotiating a compromise with the notorious Russian leader, Stalin, to hopefully reach a mutual defense treaty in order to stop Hitler in his tracks. This meeting of world powers would take place in Moscow, Russia. The compromise talks would fall out because of the suspicions of the Russian and German alliance against the British and French. The Soviet Union, would then shock the universe with a treaty that no one suspected and would scare the world because of its power. This treaty was the nonaggression treaty between Germany and Russia, which was officially signed on August 23, 1939.
“The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic.” These were the words of communist dictator Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was one of the key counties that helped the Allies during WWII. Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill were the three leaders to lead the world with the fight with the evil Axis powers.
