13 million Russian soldiers died in World War 2. Russia's huge population gave Stalin a tactical advantage, the Russian army was huge and cheap, soldiers could easily be replaced. Stalin also allowed women to join the army which supplied even more soldiers. Stalin also used the Russian winter against the Germans who weren't prepared for the subzero conditions. Stalin used his huge army and the climate of Mother Russia to eventually overcome the Nazis and push them back to Berlin, where the Russian army raised the Hammer and Sickle over the capitol building and blew apart the swastika.
Absolute fear.
He fostered a ever-present fear that you could be made to dis-appear in the middle of the night on nothing more than a whim, and to then send your family a bill for the bullet.
I believe the correct term would be "tyrannical".
Repression, banishment, or the gulags was the fate of all under his heel.
Starvation & state sanctioned famine was also very effective for Stalin.
A reward system for accusers made it so that family members would be enticed to inform upon each other.
Stalin raised and one-up'ed the tyranny the Czar's displayed by an inestimable factor.
