"not one step backwards!" and "The soviet soil will not be occupied until every last Russian blood has droped!" meaning that he just through the Russian citizens into the army and told them to fight for there country with some not even having guns. which led to a slaughter, 27 million Russians died during WW 2 which is more then half of the European casualties in all and the most casualties in WW 2.

Stalin...
The intended purpose of Stalin's plans for the collectivization of the Soviet agriculture economy was to ensure a more reliable food supply for the city workers. It also served to extract capital for the industrialization program. Stalin reached this important point of time rather suddenly and late in his regime. Some historians believe that Stalin was not sure how best to fuel the rapid industrialization of the Soviet economy. He chose the peasantry to carry this burden. Stalin's intended purpose failed. Bad policies combined with bad weather was a disaster for the USSR.
Stalin's plans were called the Five Year Plans.
