Stalin's Success
In 1953 Joseph Stalin died, which left Russia in deep distress because
they had lost a great political leader. I feel that with out a doubt

help prove this: Was he a success in his own terms?, was he a success
in the terms of Russia? And was he Success in the terms of Communism?.
. Stalin was a person you couldn't get to know personally he had
friends, but many which he chose to ignore. Throughout Stalin's Reign
he was very ruthless. People say there was a reason why Stalin was so
ruthless and that was because he beloved wife died when they were at

would later take out on the people of Russia.
Firstly, was he a success in his own terms?. There are six points
which prove that he was a success in his own terms starting off with
his struggle for is his struggle for power, which without a doubt was
a great success, due to his ability to out maneuver the other

throughout his reign until he nearly surrendered to the Germans. Both
the five-year plans and the collectivization can be linked because
they both involve producing goods for a better Russia, these

the workers and the peasants, whilst keeping a balanced productivity

As Warren Bennis, a scholar on the subject of leadership, once said, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” This statement certainly holds true no matter what type of leader you look at. From cruel dictators such as Joseph Stalin, who fought and killed to stay in power, to peaceful leaders like Mohandas Gandhi, who used nonviolent tactics to emancipate India from the United Kingdom, to Jesus Christ, who started a religion and spread his message of love and forgiveness far across the globe, they all had a vision of how they wanted to change the world, for the better, or for the worse.

The Effects of Stalin on Russia Much like Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin was one of the most ruthless and despised people in the recorded history of the world. Stalin, though, found it fit to abuse his people in any way he saw fit. This man started what history now calls "The Great Purge. " Through the late 1920's when the rest of the world was living it up as the roaring 20's came to an end, Joseph Stalin was setting the stage for gaining absolute power by employing secret police repression against opposing political and social elements within his own Communist Party and throughout society.
