Jossif Stalin
Jossif Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. He played a pivotal role in transforming the USSR into a global superpower through industrialization and collectivization but was also responsible for widespread political repression, purges, and famines that caused millions of deaths. Stalin's alliance with Nazi Germany in the late 1930s, notably through the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, led to significant territorial changes in Eastern Europe. His legacy remains controversial, as he is both credited with leading the Soviet Union to victory in World War II and condemned for his brutal regime.
