Stalin
Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. Known for his totalitarian regime, he implemented policies that led to widespread repression, forced collectivization, and the Great Purge, resulting in millions of deaths. Stalin's rule was characterized by a cult of personality, and he played a crucial role in the Allied victory during World War II, albeit at a tremendous human cost. His legacy remains controversial, as he is often cited as a prime example of the dangers of absolute power and ideological fanaticism.
