It wasn't. Stalingrad didn't exist until after Stalin took over Russia. Stalingrad was called Volograd in WW1 and wasn't involved in any direct battles by German troops. It was the site of a number of battles during the Russian Civil War. The Siege of Stalingrad took place in WW2
What the world will be like if russia took over?
Watch the Soprano's. ( I learned all my history from T.V. ) Russia is a country run by a "Mafia" of ex-KGB officiers. They realized in the mid 90's that they could simply take over the Russian Government by threating to kill anyone who stood in their way. American President Bush, gave them legitimacy by "Looking into the soul of Vladmir Putin" and announcing he was ok. Russia is still a bad place to be - probably always will be because the people their are bred to like a strong man in charge. Stalin killed a 100 million of them and they worship him.

Did The Russian Revolution in 1917 bring Lenin to power?
In March of 1917, there was a Russian Revolution that took the Czar out of power. The goal of the new government was a democratic one. But they also wanted to continue the war with Germany. Losing it or quiting the war could be dangerous as Germany had every chance to conquer Russia. With that said, Lenin was sent into Russia from exile by the Germans. It was a quid pro quo that if Lenin took power he would take Russia out of WW 1. The Russian people were still starving and losing battles with Germany under the new democratic Provisional government. Lenin and his Bolshevik party promised to quit the war and bring a new beginning for Russia. Thus his October Bolshevik Revolution was a success. The treaty with Germany was, however, a costly one for Russia.
