Joseph Stalin
Joseph Stalin was the one responsible for industrializing Russia. He did this by scrapping Vladimir Lenin's New Economic Policy in favor of his own Five Year Plans.
I wouldn’t call it an ideology, but Socialism (classless stateless society based on production for use) is the opposite of the state capitalist dictatorship that Stalin presided over.
The Joseph Morris system
Stalin's system of work camps was known as the Gulag. It was a network of forced labor camps where millions of political prisoners and other individuals were subjected to harsh conditions and hard labor. The Gulag system played a significant role in the Soviet economy and was a tool for political repression during Stalin's regime.
Stalin ruled over a state-capitalist dictatorship. No connection with Communism or Marxism.
