DEMOCRACY
DICTATORSHIP
DYNASTY

(December 18, 1878 - March 5, 1953)
Joseph Stalin is a revolutionary figure and the most brutal
dictator in the Soviet Union. Stalin was influenced by
Vladimir Lenin's Bolsheviks party during the Russian
Revolution of 1917. When Vladimir Lenin died in 1924, Stalin
would become the second leader of the Soviet Union. Also
known as "the Red Terror," Stalin would imprison innocent
people as they would be sent to the Gulag and even his
own generals and political parties. The reason has to do
with Stalin's paranoia in believing people would come after
his spot as leader of the Soviet Union. Stalin's legacy was
being the second brutal dictator who killed 10 to 20 million
people under his regime.
