Modernize and industrialize the Soviet Union.
Socialism in one Country
Stalin said the Marshall Plan was just a capitalist ploy to bring down Soviet socialism in general and Communist Party rule in particular. In order to qualify for aid under the Marchall Plan, a country had to pledge that it would provide a democratic form of government. This is something Stalin could never agree to, because the country would probably vote the Communist Party out of office and him along with it.
Joseph Stalin was one of the most heavy handed leaders in the History of Russia. His five year plan was a national economic policy for the country. The human costs in lives was high and the results of Stalin's plans are subject to doubt because there was no free press to examine his claims.
Stalin refused the Marshall Plan because he felt the plan was a way for the United States to spread capitalism. Joseph Stalin ruled the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952.
Stalin developed his five part plan for the success of the Soviet Union on a piecemeal basis. The plan included the following:* Rapid industrialization; * Central economic planning; * Collectivization of agriculture; * Socialism in one country; and * Push for a radical leftist policy in the Communist International.
Stalin's plans were called the Five Year Plans.
