Answer 1

Stalin was the leader of the USSR and his role in WW2 was incredibly significant. Had he not attacked Germany the allies may have lost.

More about Stalin:

Stalin was a brutal killer that surpassed even Hitler with people killed. Stalin even killed his own son and people. "Katyn" massacre was on Stalin's orders where he shot 22,000 military in the back of the head then tried to say Nazi did it. Look into the 1.8 million from eastern Poland sent to slave and die in Siberia. When Nazi attacked Soviets the ones that lived to tell in Siberia were given amnesty and Anders Army was formed on Soviet soil. After WW11 Soviets refused to free Poland from their occupation. This was the cold war. So you see the pack was for both Soviet/Nazi to attack Poland from 4 sides and divide her. Instead Stalin and Hitler wanted Poland to themselves. The most brutal dictator to walk the face of the earth occupied Poland in the end. Today Poland is at last free.

Answer 2

Josef Stalin was the dictator of the communist regime in the USSR (Russia). He was the 3rd person who was part of the Big 3 in the Allied Forces. He was responsible for fighting in the eastern front of the allied invasion of the European Theater of operations in World War 2. He also helped his own country fend off the Germans when they invaded his country. 20 million Russians were killed when the Nazis fought in Russia. Stalin took revenge for that.

It took fifty years to defeat the USSR and free those nations.
