Joseph Vesarinovich Stalin was born in 1878, his original surname was Dzhugashvili, his father was a cobbler from a peasant background, his mother was the daughter of a serf, in Stalin's father's intention, the son should inherit his father's business and become a shoemaker, but then Stalin's father was stabbed to death with a knife in a drunken dispute, and Stalin neither became a shoemaker nor a priest as his mother wished.
In 1898, Stalin joined the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party under the influence of Marxism, and the following year Stalin was expelled from school because he could not afford to pay the tuition fees, after which the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party split, Stalin became a member of the Bolsheviks, actively participated in the revolution, and Stalin was the kind of person who did whatever it took to achieve his goals.
In the 11 years from 1902 to 1913, Stalin was arrested 7 times and exiled 6 times for participating in revolutionary activities, but Stalin still did not give up the revolution, and in 1913, the 35-year-old Stalin used the word "Stalin" for the first time, and the three words "Stalin" mean "steel".
The October Revolution then became a turning point in Stalin's life, he was appointed People's Commissar for National Affairs and later a member of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Soviet Republic, and in 1918, when the Russian Civil War broke out, Stalin was elected to the five-member Presidium.
Six years later, Lenin died and Stalin began to lead the construction of socialism in the Soviet Union, but during Stalin's reign, he abandoned Lenin's new economic policy and devoted himself to industrialization and the five-year plan, which made the Soviet Union a heavy industrial and military power, but it led to the Great Famine.
Stalin, the longest-ruling supreme leader of the Soviet Union and a very controversial figure, turned the Soviet Union into a world power, but also a tyrant, 20 million people died because of Stalin, Lenin once commented on Stalin when he was alive: "Stalin was too rough, as the general secretary of the party, this shortcoming is intolerable." ”
In March 1953, Stalin died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and his body was put into a crystal coffin and placed in Lenin's tomb, but Khrushchev later removed Stalin from Lenin's tomb and violently attacked Stalin, suspecting that Stalin had embezzled a huge amount of money during his lifetime, and the Soviet people also believed that Stalin abused his power during his reign and lived a luxurious life through bribery and corruption.
So how much of Stalin's legacy was left behind by his death? After the liquidation of the Soviet Union, it was found that Stalin's legacy was only 900 rubles, leaving no huge wealth at all, and people fell into silence and guilt, although Stalin was controversial, but should not be blamed for false accusations.
In 2008 Stalin also won third place in a selection of "the greatest Russians" .
