He was born in what would now be Georgia in a place called Gori, Tiflis Governerate, Russian Empire. Stalin’s family lived in poverty all throughout his childhood. His father worked as a cobbler mending shoes and his mother was a maid. He was very violent towards his son and was an avid alcoholic. The family’s home was a small shack off of a dirt road. They had a serious problem with the home constantly being wet with sewage. Stalin had many issues with disease as a child. First he caught smallpox at the age of seven. As a result of the smallpox, scars were left on his face. This would become an area of embarrassment for Stalin throughout his childhood. Stalin also caught blood poisoning as a child. This was a result of one of the brutal beatings his father gave him while drunk. Because of this one of his arms became deformed and stopped growing causing him to lose use of the hand.

For his role in leading the Soviet Union through WWII, one of the worst crises that the country has ever faced, Joseph Stalin is remembered as a leader who held his nation together. Stalin however, is also responsible for the deaths of millions of Soviet Union citizens, ranging in ethnicity from Polish to Russian to Ukrainian. Abuses of power such as the Great Famine of 1932-1933 resulted in the deaths of 7-8 million people, due to Stalin implementing policies of collectivism that fitted his view of an ideal communist society (Midlarsky 265). Many similar instances of massive abuses of power, from executing and exiling political opponents to ethnic cleansing to prevent nationalistic uprisings, mar the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. His extremist ideology that advocated violent revolution, as well as a childhood filled with abuse and violence and a chaotic environment influenced him, creating the man that would terrorize and murder millions of people. He would not however, been able to abuse his power without first obtaining the authority and capability to do as such. Stalin’s political manipulation and shrewdness were peerless, and they granted him positioning to take over and consolidate power within the communist party, as well as establish himself as the legitimate heir to Lenin.

Firstly, the USSR had already begun practicing Communism long before Stalin secured the post as the USSR’s absolute ruler (McAleavy, 2002). On top of that, Communism permitted the existence of only one political party (Dagger, 2014). This denotes that Stalin’s sole source of competition aroused from his own political party, the Communist Party (Waugh, 2001). Hitler, in contrast, faced stiff competition from different political parties during the 1920s (Waugh, 2001). The Great Depression and President Hindenburg’s complacency would consequently provide Hitler with a breakthrough (Waugh, 2001). The consolidation of power was complete when Hitler received enough national backing to pass the Enabling Act (Trueman, 2015a). This result a favor for Hitler in the political regime. Secondly, the affluent in Nazi Germany could manipulate political reforms for their role in providing the Nazis with finance (Waugh, 2001). Stalin on the other hand does not face such dilemmas as communism results in the division of wealth which would consequently prevent anyone from having the financial power to contest the state’s decisions (Waugh, 2001). Finally, Stalin prefers being addressed as ‘Uncle Joe’, as he believes that this title promotes the brotherhood shared by communists, whereas Hitler tends to get flattered when addressed as ‘Führer’ (Waugh,
