Stalin means "Man of Steel". He adopted the name from one of the prison guards at one of the prisons he escaped from in his rise to power In Russian Stalin means, Man of Steel. This man of history wanted to known as heartless, cruel, no mercy, and incapable to feel. Man of steel meaning, no conscience or feelings.

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili) lived 1878 -- 1953. He was the first general secretary of the communist party of the Soviet Union's Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953. In the years following Lenin's death in 1924, he rose to become the leader of the Soviet Union, now known as Russia.

Stalin was a huge factor in WWII, and a prominent figure in the 20th century. He was one of the first people to exercise communism in its fullist. Stalin was a mass murder, not only of his enemies but also of his own people. History says he was the cause of about 20 million deaths. Yes, that's more then Hitler. (who was know as a friend of Stalin)

All people should study Stalin and know his history. We cannot let anything like what happened in Russia ever happen again. Ever.

An excellent book is Stalin: Russia's man of steel. by Albert Marrin
