A single-party state is a form of government where there is one political party that is the absolute government, as well as the absence of other opposing parties. In the 1920s a single party state occurred when Stalin established a communist dictatorship in the USSR. During his leadership Stalin hoped to modernize the Soviet economy, and maintain his position as the sole leader of the single-party state. In order to accomplish his goals, Stalin established policies within the USSR. However some of these policies did not end triumphantly. A successes of Stalin were the Great Purges, however his rule also faced failures such as the Five Year Plan. Additionally, the Collectivisation program, introduced by Stalin, was considered both a success
“Death is the solution to all problems. No man – no problem” – Joseph Stalin
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.
Source 1 contrasts liberalism through supporting fascism. The source is contrasting one of the liberals main ideas, Freedom of choice. Liberalism focuses on the freedom of the individual and that choices that regard the individual should be made by the individual or majority. The quotes is suggesting that through a general election, the chances of a good leader being chosen are rare. He suggests a specific individual will be born a leader. In the first sentence of the quote, Hitler talks about the way a general election works. He calls it absurd and in turn is saying how a general election is not a good way to elect a leader. This shows the resistance to liberalism as liberalism believes in a general election as it backs up

Question: How far did Stalin achieve and maintain what Kruchev described as “the accumulation of immense and limitless power”, in the USSR between 1924 and 1945?
When Joseph Stalin was in control on Russia it meant that the people lost freedom. Everything that was done in the USSR had to be approved by the government. The people of Russia had no access to the media. Stalin believed that capitalist societies were driven by self-interest and oppressed people. In Churchill's "Iron Curtin Speech" he is talking about the necessary actions to maintain peace in Europe. Stalin's response to him seems like he's provoking other European nations to initiate warfare against Russia. Stalin compares Chruchill's words to those of Hitler regarding "racial theory" and says "Churchill only calls to the English-speaking nations of the world" (Joseph Stalin: Reply to Churchill, 1946). When Stalin made this accusation,
DICTATORS of hermetically sealed nations do terrible things to their people to retain power. Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot are perhaps the most infamous examples in recent history of despots who controlled every waking moment of their subjects' lives from inside the impenetrable boundaries of their countries.
Iosif Dzhugashvili, more commonly known as “Joseph Stalin” or “the man of steel” was born in Gori Georgia, Russia on December 18, 1878. Stalin lived under the rule of Tsar Alexander II and Tsar Nicholas II (Joseph Stalin). Joseph Stalin’s dad was an alcoholic, while his mom was deeply religious. They were a poor family and Stalin was usually mistreated by his dad. It is believed this is why Stalin’s heart hardened and he became cruel and heartless (Ryan). Despite his modest background, he was destined to change the course of history. Joseph Stalin became the head of the Communist Party, ruled Russia as a totalitarian state, and was responsible for the deaths of millions
Over the past two centuries, a common pattern has arisen among European leaders. Most of them have proven to have followed the reasoning of Niccoló Machiavelli, a renowned literarian. Machiavelli had a deep understanding of what it took to be a leader and maintain control. He put this understanding into The Prince, a book giving advice to leaders on how to gain and maintain power over a state. Joseph Stalin lead the Soviet Union as a Machiavellian leader. He followed many of the steps described by Machiavelli and prospered. Stalin is known as one the most cruel dictators in history and was widely feared by his people. He built his way
For example, Adolf Hitler’s reign was nearly 70 years ago, and yet his impact can still be felt today. Hitler’s influence on Germany was major, having inspired extremist views in many citizens. Even today, Germans are linked to Hitler and his actions, tainting the country’s history. In an effort to prevent further indictment of its people, Germany banned swastikas and other Nazi imagery (ADL.org, 2). Hitler’s long-lasting legacy has also affected many non-Germans including victims of the Holocaust and their families. When Hitler’s Holocaust orders were given, many people were forced to flee the country with nothing but the clothes on their backs. As a result, many died and an entire generation was raised
In the fifth grade I had to do a partner project, immediately I looked at my best friend, excited to work with her. But then the teacher said those words that every student hates. “I’ll pick your partners.” Slowly the teacher listed off who was working with who, than she came to my name. The name she called for me to work with was a name than I hated, a girl I never got along with. She was the smartest girl in the class though, I knew that if I wanted a good grade I would work with her, even though I wanted to work with my best friend. When in a time that we need to work together with someone, we don’t always get to work with who we want to work with. But the people we work with are the ones who give us the best outcome. Similarly, Joseph
