Description


Joseph Stalin
Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin[f] (born Ioseb Besarionis dzе Jughashvili, 18 December [O.S. 6 December] 1878[2] – 5 March 1953) was a Georgian Bolshevik revolutionary and Soviet politician who ruled the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. During his years in power, he served as both General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1941–1953). Despite initially governing the country as part of a collective leadership, he ultimately consolidated power to become the Soviet Union's de facto dictator by the 1930s. A communist ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism while his own policies are known as Stalinism.
