Because he died................
he died in 1953. only reason he was replaced.
When did Russia stop being a monarchy and become a republic?
To stop Nazi Germany from taking Russia.
No he was not. Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (1878 - 1953) was a great leader. He had great leadership skills and through him, the Soviets managed to stop Hitler and the Nazis almost single handedly. He was a man of steel. A man with a future. He led the Soviets through dark times, making great agricultural and industrial achievements. Under him, the Soviets economy nearly grew by 1000%. He made the Soviets a Superpower and after WWII - the greatest nation on the planet. Communism in Russia had started in 1917 but by WWII, Russia was a new nation. Thanks to Stalin, the Soviets had the strongest armed forces with well over 20 million Red Army troops (not like the heavily paid 'mercenaries' the Western World now have). Everybody in Russia believed in Stalin...They knew that he was a great leader. He killed a few thousands of his own men as they were planning to assassinate him. A few people did not support Stalin due to his great plans - success always brings hatred in others. Stalin was a born leader - a man who made Russia great. ------------------------------- Sources Something called the truth
There was the Russian Civil War. Russian people were revolting against Stalin and the USSR military went in to stop them.
Number one, they didn't necessarily know about it at the time, and number two, the only way to stop it would have been to go to war with Russia, which the US was not willing to do.
He was a pretty successful leader until he lost to the Russians! He would have dominated the world if the Russians didn't stop his early. Thank Russia for that
He was deposed when Italy surrendered to the Allies in 1943
Russia stopped in 1917 because of internal problems. This eventully became a holiday in russia.
Snow ball shows his ruthlesness by stepping out and being a leader to mollie saying stop being scared all the time.
The person who opposed Stalin was Leon Trotsky who was also in line to be a leader of the Soviet union when Vladimir Lenin past away. but too bad... Stalin had gotten the title for he charmed many and held too great of a power for he had guided the soviet union to stop the world war 2 which was led by Hitler.
Russia had to depend on themselves to stop germanys expansion since there ports were unavailable
