About this ebook
Keen to learn but short on time? Get to grips with the life of Stalin in next to no time with this concise guide.
50Minutes.com provides a clear and engaging analysis of the life of Joseph Stalin. Following the death of Lenin, who had overthrown the tsarist regime with the Russian Revolution, Stalin carefully eliminated his opponents and rose to power, immediately establishing a full dictatorship.

However, when the Soviet Union fell in 1991, the full scale of the atrocities he committed became known throughout the world.
