Joseph Stalin And Adolf Hitler

World leaders are leaders with high governmental power in the world. Every leader, not just world leaders, is either great or corrupt; they are rarely both. Most of Russia’s history is filled with corrupt leaders. Joseph was one of those leaders. Stalin killed millions of people during his rule. But Stalin also led the Soviet Union almost to the top in world power. Stalin had many influences that led him to his Soviet Leadership in which gave him many admirers but even more non-supporters.

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.

Joseph Stalin is known to be “one of the most powerful and murderous dictators in history” (bbc.co.uk).

People wanted their own independence from Stalin and he did not take that very well.

From after World War II, to the Cold War, to the creation of the atomic bomb, America’s fear grew stronger. Espionage played an important role in the paranoia of the country.

A prime example of how the U.S. government dealt with communists was the controversial trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

The eyes are the only part of a person that remains pure throughout their life, because while a person’s body may become frail with age and their face gaunt, never fading are their eyes. There is a certain poetic beauty to this fact, as it is true for all people, from the kindest of saints to the most sadistic of rulers, the eyes that they see the world with were once those of a child in awe of their surroundings and an unruly teenager, ready to conquer the world. All people were once innocent, it is their environment that harden them and mold them as they progress into adulthood, but try as it might, the world can never change someone’s eyes, a glimmer into a simpler time in that person’s life, when the world seemed pure and limitless.
