Joseph Stalin

I guess its hitler..........

NATO was involved and the allies of France

For the most part the answer is no.

Unlike the Nazis, Joe Stalin's killers won the war and continued their crimes long afterwards. This is simply because they were on the winning side.

There were few like Lavrentry Beria who were killed in the power struggle which followed Stalin's death but they were killed because they stood in the way for Khrushchev's power grab.

Some of Stalin's murder squad had themselves been killed by the mass murderer hiself, for example Genrikh Yagoda was killed.

Most of the executioners lived out their days however. Vasili Blokhin who personally executed literally thousands of people died of alcoholism or suicide (its debated) in 1955.

There were a few, very few really, trials of collaborators and executioners in parts of the former Soviet Union and satillite states. In 2002 80 year old Nikolai Larionov was tried in Latvia for participating in mass deportations and executions. This was protested by the Russian Government.

Similar trials were held in Germany, Hungry and elsewhere though they did not always result in convictions.

One can say that in any historical crime committed by a political entity, only the victors of conflict have the ability to exact justice. This may be why Nazi war criminals are hunted to the ends of the earth but the Stalinist murderers got away.

really bad and gloopy

Stalin perpetrated terror in his quest to end capitalism in the Soviet Union. Charges were fabricated against persons perceived as spies of capitalist nations, and they were executed, tortured and imprisoned.

A positive achievement of Stalin's regime was the industrialation of the Soviet Union through the implementation of his several Five Year Plans. The Soviet Union went from an agrarian based economy to an industrialized one. He also developed a comprehensive educational system.

which side was supported by the soviet union during this civil war

If I recall correctly, that would be the pistol, the rifle, the hangman's noose, and the grenade. Using these, Stalin's soldiers and police killed millions and millions of Russians that might someday have rebelled against his rule.

John Hancock signed both versions of the Declaration of Independence. He signed the first one on July 4, 1776. That was the version that no other delegates signed. Then he signed the second version on or about August 22, 1776. That is the version that most, but not all, of the other delegates signed and the one everyone thinks was signed on July 4th, but was not.

Sadly the answer is many millions. The regime in the USSR under Stalin is rivalled only by the Nazis in their inhuman teatment of people under their jurisdiction.

Stalin promised to let the Polish people choose their government by free elections.

He promised to declare war against Japan soon after the defeat of Germany and said that when the new United Nations was organized, the Soviets would join.

He also said he wouldn't interfere in the countries along the Russian border in Eastern Europe.

It took Adolf Hitler until the early 1930's to gain political power in Germany. Joseph Stalin was part of the Bolshevik October Revolution in Russia in 1917. Stalin held important political positions , even a dictatorship in the USSR by 1930. To answer the question then, Stalin came first.

Hitler was directly responsible for the death of about 11-12 million people.

Mussolini was directly responsible for the death of only a few hundred thousand.

Stalin was directly responsible for somewhere between 15-20 million.

However, where the question is unclear if the fact that Hitler started the war, therefore you could hold him indirectly accountable for most all of the deaths in the European Theatre of Operations. World War 2 deaths in the Pacific campaigns may be laid at the feet of the Japanese Empire, since it needed no prodding from Hitler to do the killing it did. Japan took control of Manchuria and invaded China in 1937, two years before Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Japan did not even join the Axis powers until September 1940.

Directly, Stalin was responsible for the most deaths. However, Hitler's actions caused many in World War 2, and Mussolini was his ally. Stalin was a defensive nation. By that I mean they were attacked.

Therefore, you could make the argument had Hitler not attacked the USSR none or very few of the deaths would have occurred.

However, the other side of that argument is that the Soviet Union's was not a defensive war at all at least until Hitler double-crossed Stalin and invaded Russia. In fact, Stalin had already started his own invasions of friendly countries months before Hitler attacked it. Follow this sequence:

In August, 1939, Stalin enters into a Non-Agression Pact with Hitler.

On September 1, 1939, with no provocation, Hitler invades Poland.

On September 17, 1939 (16 days later) with no provocation, Stalin invades Poland. Part of the N-A Pact that was kept secret was that Stalin had agreed with Hitler to conquer Poland together and divide it between them.

On November 30, 1939, two months later, with no provocation, Stalin invades Finland beginning the Russian-Finland War.

On June 18, 1940, with no provocation, Stalin invades Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

On June 22, 1941, one full year later, with no provocation, Hitler attacks the Soviet Union.

A defensive war on Stalin's part? No.

Is Hitler responsible for deaths caused by Russian soldiers in Poland, Finland, Latvia, Lithania and Estonia one year before Hitler attacks Russia? No.

These acts of war were against countries that were then at peace with the Soviet Union just as much as Poland was at peace with Germany when Germany invaded it. They were offensive and aggressive actions taken against peaceful nations. Any deaths caused by them rests squarely on the shoulders of Joseph Stalin.

Stalin was type A.

11 million at least

Leon Trotsky was a believer in Marxism, which was created by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels shortly before the 1848 revolution. Marxism is the basic philosophy that history is a series of struggles between competing social classes in a given society. The classes are determined by the nature of mode of production in each society. Capitalism would evolve into socialism which would ultimately evolve into communism. Communism would be a classless society with no need for formal government. It was not a utopia. Marx had no use for the utopian dreamers.

Karl Marx describes this in the Communist Manifesto, published in Germany in 1844, that the proletariat, or the working class, will over take the bourgeoisie, or the upper class owners and controllers of the means of production in mass rebellion as the proletarians would be the majority in societies. The proletarians would rebuild the nation and have a government that would be what Marx called a "dictatorship of the proletariat." This would actually be a democratic government, but it would be limited to the proletariat until all traces of capitalism were stamped out.

At first, under socialism, the government would control everything and no entrepreneurs would exist. Over time, socialism would turn into communism, the need for government would disappear and every person would be working for the good of the society as a whole rather than for individual profit.

Marx finishes his masterpiece, which is arguably the most important piece of political propaganda, with the famous lines "The proletarians have nothing to loose but their chains. WORKING MEN OF THE WORLD, UNITE!"

Stalin planed to increase industrialization. The plan increased industrial and agricultural output by 50 per cent in the five years. The cost in human lives is difficult to measure.

Stalin was not a priest although he studied for the priesthood for a brief time at the Tblisi Spiritual Seminary.

No, he was not. It is often rumored that Stalin drank alcohol during many of his speaches. A notable one is the 1935 Declaration of the Soviet Constitution, where many suspect that he was drinking. He was in fact not drinking alcohol, but rather, Mineral water. Stalin was very fond of Mineral water, and he claimed to always keep some in his bedroom. Apart from that, Stalins other notable favourite drink was Mikuzani Red Wine, a very rare wine made only with grapes from Georgia, where Stalin was from himself.

USSR was fighting Germany alone and needed the second front for relief.

the general followers of Stalin were th lower-classmen. the poor loved Stalin because he promised food and thigns to them because Stalin was going to take from the rich and give to the poor.

Stalin was a state capitalist dictator; no connection to Communism.

6 days. comrade Stalin had anyone who stopped clapping killed on the spot. the last person who kept clapping was mauled by dogs.

Joseph Stalin faced many problems some of which were, Religion, up rising of the people, food shortages and World War II.

Stalin being Communist, needed to remove religion to help control the people, he finally backed off this in the 1950's due to the continuing uprising due to religious faith.

To attempt to quell the up rising's he attempted to hold back food basically starving the people. The worst of this was in the Ukraine from 1932-'34 where Russian reports of 6 million people starved to death, and world reports were that 10 million people were starved to death.

Then World War II hit which caused major issues with all countries, Russia did sign a treaty with Germany that after dividing Poland and Russia taking over over countries the German's attacked Russia ending the treaty.

But the Major issue that Stalin faced was trying to take away all the rights and freedom's the Soviet people had. He executed over a million people, had many of his military leaders killed, and still he had people fighting for their freedom.
