Joseph Stalin

Leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 to 1953

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a communist revolutionary and Soviet politician who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1922 to 1952 and Chairman of the Council of Ministers from 1941 until his death.
