What was the significance of the totalitarian?
Totalitarianism is a system of government in which all social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual activities are controlled by the rulers of a state. A totalitarian state is ruled by a leader who controls a political party, such as Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, Communist China under Mao tse-tung, and the USSR under Joseph Stalin.
Why was Joseph Stalin named leader?
Joseph Stalin was not named leader, Lenin named him one of a group of rulers of the USSR. Past that, he gained his power over the Soviet Union through A Divide and Conquer strategy. If that strategy failed, he used his position as the Secretary of the Communist Party to weed out dissenters that did not always agree with Stalin's methods. His power in the Politburo was staggering. He filled all vacancies with people he trusted and others were either tried for treason or in some cases they "vanished" as Stalin had them liquidated. Lenin's premature death in 1924, enabled Stalin to solidify his power. Also, true Marxists, such as Trotsky were pushed out of the Party and were exiled and later murdered.

Why didn't communism last in Russia?
Communism didn't last in Russia because Stalin had a warped idea of communism. It failed because it never was true communism, but was always corrupted. I believe it was not communism in the USSR, but more of a deadly mix of Socialism and Totalitarianism.

What was the impact on Soviet people from Joseph Stalin?
It is easy to conclude that Stalin and Lenin were different but similar at the same time. They were similar for many different reasons. Both Lenin and Stalin were communist rulers of Russia. They both had favored communism and had everything to be government related. They also both practiced undemocratic strategies in order govern the nation. They both wished to have a socialist state and they both aimed to rebuild Russia and were marked by civil war. They both aimed and concentrated greatly to improve the economic system of Russia and tried to make it progress everyday such as the NEP, the New Economic Policy which was by Lenin, and the command economy which was by Stalin. And lastly, they both had good intentions, which was to make Russia the best it could be. So yes they did have similarities but yet they were so different. What was most different between Lenin and Stalin was the way they dealt with situations and they're mentality. This includes war tactics and etc. Lenin first off, did not like Stalin at all and made that clear before he passed away. He said that he had doubts about Stalin's "ambitious nature". Lenin thinks that although Stalin was sharp, he only focused on maintaining a lot of power and was not sure that he was able to use it sufficiently. He also did not think that Stalin was tolerable, loyal, polite, or considerate. The mentality that Stalin uses when he rules was much more different than the mentality that Lenin uses. Stalin uses fear and propaganda to scare the people into following his rules and listening to what he says. He also did not give the people that much freedom such as forcing them to be atheist, and punishing them with cruel punishments. Lenin on the other hand was more considerate, and liked to hear what the people had to say. This is why he supported the Soviet Supreme in which anyone 18 and or older was able to vote and express their opinion to the public. Stalin's rue was marked by cruelty and way and Lenin's was marked with good intentions. Lenin instituted many reforms such as a socialist state and gave peasants land. Stalin did not care for the peasants, and when the peasant upset him he killed thousands and thousands of them. Stalin's motives were different than Lenin's. Stalin had a more socialist perspective on rebuilding the nation, and his tactics on rulings were different than Lenin's as well. Also, Stalin did not have a guilty conscience at all. Lenin had more democratic point of views. Stalin, however, was more of a totalitarian. People described Stalin as more of a dictator because of the way he handled situations. He was very violent and rude, and when he was worried of things not going his way, he handled them in a violent manner and many of the situations with Trotsky, the peasants, and the purge. Although Stalin and Lenin were similar as to their goals as leaders, they were very different when it came to their personalities and who hey dealt with situations.
