Joseph Stalin
Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. Known for his totalitarian regime, Stalin's policies included the collectivization of agriculture and rapid industrialization, which resulted in significant economic growth but also widespread famine and suffering. His government was marked by political repression, purges, and the establishment of a cult of personality. Stalin's legacy remains controversial, with many viewing him as a tyrant responsible for the deaths of millions, while others credit him with transforming the Soviet Union into a global superpower.
