| | Joseph Stalin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Stalin's involvement with the socialist movement (or, to be more exact, the branch of it that later became the communist movement) began at the seminary. | | | While Stalin's social and economic policies laid the foundations for the USSR's emergence as a superpower, the harshness with which he conducted Soviet affairs was subsequently repudiated by his successors in the Communist Party leadership, notably the denunciation of Stalinism by Nikita Khrushchev in February 1956. | | | Following the February Revolution, Stalin and the editorial board took a position in favor of supporting Kerensky's provisional government and, it is alleged, went to the extent of declining to publish Lenin's articles arguing for the provisional government to be overthrown. |

| | Stalin claimed that Nikolayev was part of a larger conspiracy led by Leon Trotsky against the Soviet government. | | | Stalin came to the conclusion that, if he could prove that Zinoviev and Kamenev and other leaders of the opposition had shed the blood of Kirov, "the beloved son of the party", a member of the Politburo, he then would be justified in demanding blood for blood. | | | Stalin was later to claim that the real reason was that he had been trying to convert his fellow students to Marxism. |

| | Biography: Joseph Stalin |
| | As war clouds were gathering on the horizon in 1939, Stalin felt that he had scored a coup by striking a non-aggression pact with Hitler, in which they agreed to divide up Poland and then leave each other alone. | | | He remained a hero to his people until Khrushchev's well-known "secret" speech to a Party Congress in 1956, in which Stalin's excesses, at least as far as power grabbing in the Party itself, were denounced. | | | The purges, or "repressions" as they are known in Russia, extended far beyond the Party elite, reaching down into every local Party cell and nearly all of the intellectual professions, since anyone with a higher education was suspected of being a potential counterrevolutionary. |

| | Stalin's method of personal rule was replaced by group rule and more orderly processes of government, the terror apparatus was largely dismantled, the economy was notably modernized, and foreign policy was conducted with much greater diplomatic initiative and flexibility. | | | In this way Stalin, with the help of the secret police, established his personal dictatorship over the party and the country. | | | He kept away, almost pathologically, from the public, and he was frequently the object of the intrigues of some of the more unscrupulous of the leaders, such as Lavrenti Beria, head of the secret police, who used this terrifying instrument for his own ends. |

| | Gendercide Watch: Stalin's Purges |
| | Under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, tens of millions of ordinary individuals were executed or imprisoned in labour camps that were little more than death camps. | | | The post was largely an undistinguished administrative one, but Stalin used it to fortify his power base and control over the bureaucracy of the ruling Communist Party. | | | Most of the camp inmates were released, and after Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" denouncing Stalin at the 20th Party Congress in 1956, many of the prominent victims of the Purge were posthumously rehabilitated. |

| | It is said that in August 1939, Stalin attempted to form an anti-Hitler alliance with the Western powers - it is difficult to find out why this failed, but it did; and so - in spite of his total mistrust of Hitler - he changed his tack and formed a pact with him. | | | Thus it was that Stalin broke the Communist Party to his will and the Soviet elite as a whole. | | | In late 1934 - at the identical time Hitler was doing the same thing - Stalin launched another campaign of political terror against the very Communist Party members who had brought him to power; his excuse was the murder in Leningrad of his leading colleague and potential rival Sergey Kirov. |

| | Unlike Trotsky, Stalin believed that socialism could be introduced in one country without being accompanied by a world revolution. | | | Increasingly paranoid, Stalin himself became a victim of the fear he had induced in his subjects. | | | In 1922 he was made General Secretary of the Communist Party, a post which was not considered particularly significant at the time but nevertheless became the base from which he launched his bid for supreme power. |
