Josif Staljin
Josif Staljin was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the leader of the Soviet state from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. He is known for his role in transforming the Soviet Union into a major world power, but his leadership was marked by widespread repression, purges, and the establishment of a totalitarian regime. Staljin's policies, including forced collectivization and the Great Terror, led to the deaths of millions, making him one of history's most controversial figures.
