He was the leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics....(The Soviet Union). He ordered every citizen of the Soviet Union to not surrender and use every drop of blood. By saying this he ordered a massacre killing 27 million Soviets during WW2. He is so significant because the Soviets were the ones who invaded Berlin and ended the war in Europe.

What is atheism and what part did it play in russia?

Atheism is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities and the rejection of claims from organizations and individuals that proclaim to know the will of these theoretical entities and speak in their names. Atheism - like religion - did not play a significant role in the forming of the Russian republic after the fall of the Soviet Union. The atrocities committed during the era of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany are often used by theists as examples of what happens in what they claim were or perceive to be atheist societies - and I take this to be the actually intended second part of this question. The role of atheism in the history of the Soviet Union cannot be separated from the role of theism. The tragedy of the Russian people does not start with the Soviets. To claim that Stalin was an atheist and therefore atheism is to blame for all the atrocities in the Soviet Union is as ludicrous as stating that the Borgias were good popes & devout Catholics.


How important was Joseph Stalin in World War 2?

Was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953 Stalin launched a command economy, replacing the New Economic Policy of the 1920s with Five-Year Plans and launching a period of rapid industrialization and economic collectivization. The upheaval in the agricultural sector disrupted food production, resulting in widespread famine, such as the catastrophic Soviet famine of 1932-1933, known in Ukraine as the Holodomor. During the late 1930s, Stalin launched the Great Purge (also known as the "Great Terror"), a campaign to purge the Communist Party of people accused of sabotage, terrorism, or treachery; he extended it to the military and other sectors of Soviet society. Targets were often executed, imprisoned in Gulag labor camps or exiled. In the years following, millions of members of ethnic minorities were also deported. In 1939, after failed attempts to establish a collective security system in Europe, Stalin decided to conclude a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, followed by a Soviet invasion of Poland, Finland, the Baltics, Bessarabia and northern Bukovina. After Germany violated the pact in 1941, the Soviet Union joined the Allies to play a primary role in the Axis defeat, at the cost of the largest death toll for any country in the war. Thereafter, contradicting statements at allied conferences, Stalin installed communist governments in most of Eastern Europe, forming the Eastern bloc, behind what was referred to as an "Iron Curtain" of Soviet rule, irking United States and the western allies. This launched the long period of antagonism between Stalin's Soviet Union and the western world, lead by United States, known as the Cold War. Stalin made efforts to augment his public image and a cult of personality developed around him; however, his successor, Nikita Khrushchev, denounced his legacy and drove the process of de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union.
