Stalin is responsible for some concentration camps and exiles that went on
with the slaves. Joseph Stalin was an evil man. The party of slaves that he
started, the Kulaks, (meaning that they had a little bit more than the regular
slaves) were being stubborn and they didn’t want to give Stalin their crops
without him paying a certain fee for them. When the Kulaks started to rebel
against Stalin, he was infuriated and he declared war against the slaves. Stalin
and his armies overpowered the slave’s and they had to surrender to them before
anything else occurred. Along with their crops came all the machinery that they
had and everything that they possessed. Due to Joseph Stalin’s actions, many
people who were on this collective farm system starved to death. The exact
amount of people whom Stalin caused death to is not known but facts prove that
there were many of people who died to his actions. In 1945 he conducted foreign
policies which contributed to the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the
West. By1950 Stalin’s mental and physical health had begun to deteriorate and he
was absent from the Kremlin, the government headquarters in Moscow, for long
periods of time.
In January 1953 Stalin ordered the arrest of a group of Kremlin
doctors on charges of plotting the medical murder of high-level Soviet
officials. A few days later, Stalin died of complications from a stroke in
March. After his death, the people were upset while Stalin’s political
successors expressed relief and moved quickly change some of the most brutal
features of his regime. Nikita Khrushchev, who replaced Stalin as general
secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, denounced Stalin’s methods
of rule and political theories, known as Stalinism, in his secret speech to the
20th Party Congress in 1956. Stalin’s historical legacy is really negative, but
why shouldn’t it be when a human being like him can be so evil deep inside and
cause people their lives without having any remorse.
