Joseph StalinJoseph Stalin was one of the most ruthless leaders along with Hitler. He was the son of a Georgian Shoemaker, but was soon banished after interest in the Marxist revolutionary movement. He joined the Social Democratic Party in Caucasus as a student.
In the Russian Civil War, he is appointed into Lenin's cabinet. He soon becomes one of his closest collaborators and aids Lenin to their victory. Lenin soon got paranoid and planned to remove him but sadly died before he could do so. Stalin soon became a superpower, dominating any and every war he took part in. The only War he didn't want to join was World War II. He tried to keep his ties with a Germany peaceful to stay out, but he ignored all warning of an impeding attack from Germany. That attack soon dragged Stalin into the war. After the Allies victories in WWII, Stalin became very paranoid, about communist movements that didn't include him. To go as far as to kill some of his closest collaborators. No one put a stop to him, as in 1954 he died of a brain hemorrhage, to go down in history as one of the most brutal dictators to live, as a political tyrant. |
