He greatly affected history for the USSR, employing many tactics of communism of maintaining order and power by use of extreme force. He killed millions. Stalin helped sway the tide of World War 2, and was quite possibly responsible for the Allied victory.

Stalin started the Cold War which forever altered the modern world. Sadly, his influence took a blow when his successor Nikita Khruschev massively "De-

Stalinized" the USSR, reversing many of his effects on the Soviet Union.

Very little.

Joseph Stalin died in 1953. The Cold War was barely started at the time.

However, he was ruler during the Korean War, which was in the very begginning of the Cold War.

Stalin had no immediate effect on the Russian Revolution. He was living in exile in Siberia when the February Revolution occurred. Once free of Tsarist control, he hopped on the first train out of Siberia and returned to St. Petersburg. Even Lenin had no immediate effect on the February Revolution since he was living in self imposed exile in Switzerland.

IN the October Revolution, Stalin was given no task, such as seizing control of military, transportation or communications facilities, to accomplish, while other top Bolsheviks were. He was busy editing a Bolshevik newspaper.

There is a well known photograph of Lenin returning to the Smolny Institute to take over the new government. Stalin has the phot retouched to place himself at Lenin's side. Stalin was nowhere near the Smolny Institute at the time.

It was because Stalin was a powerful influence on the spread of communism and he died. So without him there to back up China and North Korea they grew less confident of victory of turning South Korea communist and signed an armistice to stop the fighting.
