• Fact or Opinion? Stalins Russia.
• Stalin ruled the Soviet Unit from the mid-1920s
  until his death in 1953. He established one of
  the most brutal dictatorships the world has ever
  seen. Stalin's five year plans were a great
  success. He took over a country destroyed by war,
  revolution, civil war and famine and turned it
  into a superpower, able to defeat an invasion by
  Hitlers Germany. The five year plans were
  designed to improve Russias agriculture and
  industry. Iron, steel, coal and oil production
  increased. By 1940 Russian industry was much
  stronger than in 1928. There is no doubt that
  Stalin was a great leader.
