==== Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union for a quarter of a century. He caused tens of millions of deaths but he also had a large role in the defeat of Nazism (Joseph Stalin 1879-1953.) Stalin never graduated but instead he spent much of his time in the Revolutionary Movement against the Russian monarchy. He spend 15 years of him life as an activist. Stalin soon rose to power after the [|Bolshevik seizure]. In 1922, Stalin became general secretary of the Communist Party. This, during the time, was not thought of be a high power, but it gave him some control and allowed him to get much support (Joseph Stalin 1879-1953.) After the death of Lenin, Stalin gradually out powered his rivals. Afterward, Stalin became the dictator of the [|Soviet Union]. After Stalin came to power he decided that anyone who disagreed with him and his rules would be killed. He thought this would be much easier to do rather then just convincing the public that his ways are sufficient (Joseph Stalin 1879-1953.) He killed millions of people because no one agreed with his actions.====
