the founder of the Russian Communist Party, leader of the 1917
Bolshevik Revolution, and the architect, builder, and first head of

revolution in exile, within Russia and abroad. The Bolshevik's
quickly consolidated power; privatizing all aspects of the Soviet
economy, cracking down on dissent through the Cheka (or secret
police), and instituting the Red Terror, aimed at destroying
monarchist and anti-Bolshevik symapthizers during the Russian Civil
War. Continued

Slide 25
Stalin in Soviet Union Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) was the
dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from
1929 to 1953. Under Stalin, the Soviet Union was transformed from a
peasant society into an industrial and military superpower.
However, he ruled by terror, and millions of his own citizens died
during his brutal reign. Born into poverty, Stalin became involved
in revolutionary politics, as well as criminal activities, as a
young man. Continued
Slide 26
Stalin in Soviet Union After Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin
(1870-1924) died, Stalin outmaneuvered his rivals for control of
the party. Once in power, he collectivized farming and had
potential enemies executed or sent to forced labor camps. Stalin
aligned with the United States and Britain in World War II
(1939-1945) but afterward engaged in an increasingly tense
relationship with the West known as the Cold War (1946-1991). After
his death, the Soviets initiated a de-Stalinization process.
