JOSEPH STALIN
IN 1917, RUSSIAN WORKERS SHOCKED THE world by overthrowing their emperor and ending centuries of tyranny. Leaders of the Russian
Revolution proclaimed a new nation-the Soviet Union-and promised to build a just society run by and for the common people.
Instead, the Soviet people got Joseph Stalin.
Stalin turned the Soviet Union into a world powerat an almost unimaginable cost. He uprooted millions of peasants and starved millions more to death.
He executed his enemies, real or imagined, and filled a notorious system of prison camps with Soviet citizens.
He was more ruthless than any Russian emperor.
