Hitler 's Charisma And Nigel Cawthorne

The picture is similar to Document 2, which shows the crowd at Stalin’s speech happy, laughing, content, what a perfect nation should look like. There is no denying that in both Stalin’s and Hitler’s reign, the ability to control each country’s media played a prominent role in each ruler’s success. A final comparison between Russia and Germany was the way the people were treated after Stalin and Hitler rose to power. Using deception and propaganda to get elected, both rulers used fear and force to stay in power.

World War 2 History fans and people with a deep interest in the psychology and the minds behind the USSR and the Nazi party, listen up. The Dictators : Hitler’s Germany, Stalin's Russia By Richard Overy is a great read where we see the actions of these two dictators that were extremely powerful and influential during World War 2, comparisons between the two and also differences, and how they ruled, as well on their public image compared to their private reserved personalities. Throughout the chapters we can see their worries, propaganda, close circles and relationships, and ideology. We also wonder and ask ourselves, how did these tyrants rule and how did people fall for their propaganda? And how they trick one another and their manipulation.

During the 1930s and 1940s there were two leaders, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, that had to have different belief systems. These two leaders grew up being taught dissimilar things; also their religious beliefs were nonidentical from one another. As Stalin and Hitler grew to be leaders, they both had different ideas to make their countries better. To do this each leader had disparate political ideologies, to treat their citizens differently, and to set goals for their own leadership, or for themselves to reach. Within their government each leader had made their impact on the world’s society.

Dictatorship throughout the ages has mainly led to oppression and conflict between people and government. Some of the notoriously bad dictators took office around the 1920’s and 1930’s. There were three main dictators in that time period and they all ran different countries in very different ways. Josef Stalin was known as the dictator of the Soviet Union, he was all about communism and did not care if there was opposition to his ideas. On the other hand, Benito Mussolini was in charge of Italy and all about fascism. Possibly the worst known dictator of all times was Hitler, in charge of, Germany, he was all about Nazism. Each had a different outlook on ruling, but they all did things similarly to lead to nations hatred against them. Basically, their ultimate goal was to do what was best for their countries, however, there want for power tended to get in the way. They all wanted to accomplish many things, they used many different ideas and ways to run their nations. They were all blamed for their nations demise in one way or another. This essay will discuss the similarities and differences between Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.

A shocking number of 40 million people were executed during Joseph Stalin’s reign of Soviet Russia between the years 1924 to 1953. Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, plays an important role in George Orwell’s novel 1984. Orwell’s novel depicts a totalitarian government that controls the lives of the people in Oceania by supplying false propaganda and monitoring their everyday life. As a matter of fact, Orwell writes his novel based on the events that occurred in Soviet Russia during the reign of Joseph Stalin. The author includes similar aspects to that of Soviet Russia in his novel to warn his audience the dangers of a totalitarian state. George Orwell’s dystopian society illustrates the negative effects that a totalitarian government

With all of these terrible things the two dictators have instilled on their people whether it is fear or torture, their people still find a way to remain loyal and devoted to Stalin and Big Brother. The question that lingers in the minds of millions is how could someone praise and stay loyal to a person as evil and malicious as Joseph Stalin or Big Brother? What people do not understand about those people is that fear is the most powerful emotion in the world and, regardless of the consequences of following a vicious tyrant, fear has the power to prevent people from participating in independent action and thought. Keeping independent thought from surfacing among their people was Stalin and Big Brother’s focal aim. By realizing the similarities between these men, it becomes easier for modern day people to access independent thought and prevents any ruler from controlling every aspect of their lives. So although the two dictators caused extreme pain and suffering among millions, they paved the paths of their countries and made it possible for their societies to emerge

Soso Djugashvili, more commonly known as Joseph Stalin, ‘man of steel’, dictator of the Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) Russia, can be considered a ‘Red Tsar’ to an extent when features of Stalinism are compared to those of Tsarism and Russia ruled by Nicholas II’s autocratic regime from 1894 to 1917. A ‘Red Tsar’ is a communist leader whom follows similar principles followed under the leadership of a Tsar, that were influenced by few opinions allowing sole leadership and little opposition from others. Stalin can be considered a ‘Red Tsar’ to an extent as he ruled Communist Russia as a somewhat totalitarian state and was considered a ‘God-like’ figure sent to Earth to lead the nation and its people. From Stalin’s reign of terror from 1929 to 1953 there can be similarities seen in his regime to features of Tsarism as well as differences, this is why there are alternative interpretations for Stalin being considered a ‘Red Tsar’.

Almost everyone knows what a monster Adolf Hitler was, but most people do not know that one of the great ally leader of World War II, Joseph Stalin, had committed even greater atrocities than Hitler. Joseph Stalin was a ruthless and yet diligent dictator of the Soviet Union, whose rise to power influenced a multitude of major events in his country’s history. Due to Stalin’s impactful reign, he made the Soviet Union become a global superpower, underwent difficult hardships such as the Great Famine in the Soviet Union, and after his death, caused the Soviet Union to go through a process known as de-Stalinization.

Stalin like Hitler “used propaganda, censorship, and terror to force his will on the Soviet people. Government newspapers glorified work and Stalin himself. Secret police spied on citizens, and anyone who refused to praise Stalin and the state faced severe punishment, even death” (“The Soviet”, n.d.).

Europe’s political orders have taken many different forms throughout history. Leaders have influenced the structure of their countries and surrounding ones by their vision and missions for their term. Examples of leaders who shaped Europe during their time as ruler are Napoleon Bonaparte of France and Prince Klemens von Metternich of Austria. Their separate visions for their countries have certain similarities but largely contrast each other.

Since the Holocaust, there have been many books based on Adolf Hitler, who was the former Fuehrer (head of the Nazi party). One of these many acclaimed works is 1938: Hitler’s Gamble. The writing is a narration about Hitler’s fortification of power over the period of 1938. It also shows how in that year alone he became a threat to the world instead of only being a hazard to Germany. Giles MacDonogh is a man of many trades.

Joseph Stalin’s three decade long dictatorship rule that ended in 1953, left a lasting, yet damaging imprint on the Soviet Union in political, economic and social terms. “Under his inspiration Russia has modernised her society and educated her masses…Stalin found Russia working with a wooden plough and left her equipped with nuclear power” (Jamieson, 1971). Although his policies of collectivisation and industrialisation placed the nation as a leading superpower on the global stage and significantly ahead of its economic position during the Romanov rule, this was not without huge sacrifices. Devastating living and working standards for the proletariat, widespread famine, the Purges, and labour camps had crippling impacts on Russia’s social

This paper will discuss how Stalin’s background helped build the qualities of a ruthless leader and how he displayed them

“Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.” This is a direct quote from one of the most notorious men in history, Joseph Stalin. Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid 1920’s until his death. The period in which he ruled over the Soviet Union was known as the Reign of Terror because he was a malicious leader who was ready to do anything to maintain the level of power he achieved. He will forever be remembered as a cold blooded and heartless leader, who took the lives of millions without remorse. This research paper will cover this notorious and deceitful dictator and his early life, rise to power, his reign of terror, and the aftermath of his actions.

Joseph Stalin used his intellect, and power, to outmanoeuvre his rivals to become leader of the Soviet Union. Using carefully planned propaganda including, painting, statues, and a series of cultivated posters Stalin immortalised and glorified his leadership. These state-manufactured images created a ‘cult of personality' around him, subsequently, creating an image of a heroic worshipped figure, who was associated with every aspect of soviet society. Stalin controlled the media and according to the historian Moshe Lewin, Stalin single handily, ‘become the system,’ (Lewin in Pittaway, 2008, p.137.)
