Joseph+Stalin



Joseph Stalin was the communist leader of Russia from 1924 to 1956. While leading, Stalin managed to create a collective farm, which is one big farm that is made up of tiny farms. Also, Stalin went on Great Purges which was when he would kill citizens who he thought would try to overthrow him. More than 1 million people were executed and 7 million more were sent to labor camps in Siberia where they worked and froze to death because of the frigid weather there. Overall, Stalin killed more people than Hitler did and most of them were his own people. In 1939, Hitler and Stalin signed the Nazi- Soviet Pact or the Non- Aggression Pact which stated that neither Hitler nor Stalin would try to attack each other. But later Hitler broke the Pact and attacked Russia.
