Was Stalin an eastern orthodox?
After Nazi Germany's attach on the Soviet Union in 1941, Joseph Stalin revived the Russian Orthodox Church to intensify patriotic support for the war effort. The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labor camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.
Why stop using the trebuchet?
They were massive and hard to move. When gunpowder came along it could do the same thing with little effort.
What was Stalin's relationship with the West?
Stalin's relationship with the West was a very tentative one. The Western leaders did not trust Stalin and he did not trust them. He was part of the Big 3 in allied war effort. His country lost 20 million people due to Hitler's attacks on them. He wanted revenge and to expand his own nation. He kept the nations he conquered in his effort to defeat the Germans. He was amazed when Eisenhower let him defeat Berlin in revenge for the deaths in his country. Due to the conflicts between the democratic western ideals/western national leaders with Stalin the Cold War began at the end of World War 2. Winston Churchill correctly predicted we would have to fight Stalin after the war was over. It took five decades to resolve the problem.

What did Joseph Stalin do to end nazism?
Stalin did many things to contribute to the war effort against the Nazis. His economic policies and military tactics were far better than those of the nazis. Soviet losses in WW2 were far, far higher than those of any other nation. Not only was Stalin instrumental in defeating the Germans, but he also pursued a policy of dominating postwar Eastern Europe. He replaced one tyrany with another. Having said that, the sacrifices made by the Soviet Union in WW2 were far greater than in any other theatre of the war.
Why did Stalin want Britain and the US to open a secrond front?
Stalin needed the Allies to divert German attention from the Eastern Front. The Russian war effort was massive in terms of people who were involved, many were working as slave labour for the Germans, or indeed were inducted into the German military, whether they liked it or not. Many had been captured as a result of the Barbarossa Blitzkrieg. Nonetheless the Allies were involved in North Africa & Italy while all this was going on, but Stalin, despite the supples sent to Murmansk at great cost by the Allies, needed more. I think, in hindsight admittedly, that Churchills' circumspection was more than justified.

Which Russian leader started collectivism?
Joseph Stalin began the process of collectivization of agricultural lands. Prior to the policy Vladimir Lenin's New Economic Policy had permitted many peasant farmers to farm their own plots, sell their own produce and keep the profits subject to paying a tax to the government. Stalin changed all that by forcing individual farmers to aggregate small individual farms onto larger "collectives" in an effort to increase production and stamp out the last vestiges of capitalism.
Why would free countries like Britiain and France try to become allied with a ruthless dictator and communist like Joseph Stalin?
The truth was Britain & France (Which was occupied by the Nazis) were in a war with a common enemy. (Nazi Germany) Take as an example the case of Finland, just to complicate matters, at the same time: Finland was being attacked by the Russians and so, as a result Britain declared War on Finland because the Germans were aiding them against Russia. What did the Finns ever do that has ever been hostile to Britain or the British ?? Nothing whatsoever ! That Stalin was a ruthless dictator is undeniable. However it is highly questionable to refer to him as a communist in the strictest sense of the word. He was an Absolute Dictator, who ruled in a despotic way, murdering political & racial opposition in much the same way as Hitler did in Germany & Europe as a whole. It also is the case that Churchill tried to argue against Stalin but was rebuffed by FDR at the Yalta & Tehran conferences. Hitler & Stalin had signed their non-aggression pact & carved up Poland between them in 1939. But it was the case that neither trusted the other and with good reason. Had Hitler not launched Barbarossa was Stalin in a position to attack Germany at that time ? Manifestly the answer to that is No. The events of the subsequent 'Cold War', the Berlin Blockade, the Cuban Missile crisis & so on show how the Russians treated the Western world with hostility, but to return to my original point the Free West was simply involved with a common enemy. We sent them, at great cost to ourselves, many, many tons of material aid in the form of the Murmansk convoys, and what thanks was Britain ever given for the effort ? None whatsoever.
