STALIN HIS LIFE

No man more fully epitomized this era than Joseph Stalin did. As political, economic, and
social leader, Joseph Stalin has emotionally, physically, psychologically, politically,
economically, and socially affected Russia even to this day. 
Imagine yourself in the midst of the end of WWII, out in the streets of Stalingrad where
Joseph Stalin will be parading. The masses of people seem to continue in all directions
like a vast ocean of supporters for him. As he comes down the street your ears are
overwhelmed with the screaming of praise as the people fall to their knees to show their
undaunted love and respect for him. You don't know what to do as you are lost in a sea of
everlasting supporters, so you go along with his cause. His large figure and military
uniform glisten in the sunlight as he waves to his supporters from the convertible that
he is riding in. The name Stalin which means man of steel suddenly takes a new meaning as
he portrays his physical strength. You feel a sense of pride and strength for the Russian
cause after viewing him. This was a typical scene at a communist rally during the reign
of Joseph Stalin.
Stalin was a participant leader of the Russian Revolution in 1917. In 1924, when Lenin
died, he assumed the position of General Secretary, or Premier, and turned the Soviet
Union into a Totalitarian-Communist Empire. Stalin used terrorism and brutal torture
against his own people to control his power. Stalin was also one of the founders of
Soviet National Security, the KGB.
