yes :D
That Joseph Stalin was a brutal, murderous dictator can no longer be denied. The historical evidence is overwhelming.
No, Joseph Stalin did not die in the Holocaust. Stalin died in 1953 from a stroke, when the Holocaust had been over for 8 years.
Joseph Stalin was born on December 18, 1878 and died on March 5, 1953. Joseph Stalin would have been 74 years old at the time of death or 136 years old today.
Stalin was of Georgian descent, both parents having been born in the independent country of Georgia. Stalin was not Russian by birth.
Stalin was Lenin's successor, even though Lenin didn't actually like Stalin much. Before that, Stalin had been in charge of the Communist Party's administration.
There probably would NOT have been a Korean War. Stalin supported North Korea's attack into South Korea. When Stalin died in March of 1953, the Korean War ended by Armistice four months later in July of 1953.
Stalin's demise was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, a stroke, which might or might not have been induced by the surreptitious administration of warfarin, a blood thinner used to kill rats, by Stalin's inner circle and high members of the Politburo.
Stalin took many risks through-out his career, from drawing reserves to bail Stalingrad out to daring to take control of the country when he could have been removed by the courts from any power whatsoever.
StalinStalin is buried in Moscow in a rather nondescript place near the Kremlin wall. At first it had been buried in the mausoleum next to the body of Vladimir Lenin, but about 5 years later, during Khrushchev's de-Stalinization process, it was move to its present location. Not only is it not near Lenin any longer, but it is not even in the Kremlin wall. This was dur to official recognition of Stalin's atrocities.
Yes, Joseph Stalin is considered to have been part of the Big Three during World War II, along with American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Joseph Stalin succeeded Lenin as head of the Communist Party because Stalin had already been made Secretary General of the party before Lenin died. Stalin did not take over as sole leader of the Soviet Union, but he was the leader of the Communist Party.
If you are talking about WWI, Joseph Stalin was yet not an important member of the Communist party in Russia. He became the General Secretary under Lenin and used that position to gain power. He retained that title throughout his rule, but a more appropriate title might have been "dictator" or "tyrant".
