The Emergence of Joseph Stalin
Russia became the USSR (or Soviet Union) in 1922
Lenin died in 1924
the nation was still in poverty
though geographically vast, it had few great cities in early 20’s
its rivers were unharnessed, its minerals untouched

80% of people lived on farms
most of these were peasants (120 million)
most peasants were desperately poor--even in 1928 5.5 million families still broke soil with wooden ploughs
half the nation’s grain harvested with scythes and sickles * Howarth quote...
richer peasants who owned farm machinery & employed labourers = kulaks.

Initially communist party members perceived S. as a boring “stats” man
Rose to power over Trotsky with his “Socialism in one country” slogan. (As contrasted with T’s “World Revolution”)
“tampered” with photos/sketches, positioning himself beside Lenin who, in fact, preferred Trotsky as his replacement
turned out to be a ruthless & cruel, totalitarian dictator
his strategy was to use people to climb the power ladder then “disposed” of them.

for example, he first allied with Bukharin and Rykov (moderates) who wanted to continue with the NEP -- AGAINST men like Trotsky, Zinoviev and Kamenev who thought the NEP was modernizing Russia too slowly.
by 1927, Stalin had Trotsky expelled from the country and later killed in Mexico.
in 1934, when Stalin noticed a man name Kirov becoming popular in government--he ordered Kirov shot. The assassin and 13 others were then tried and executed.

Five Year PlansStalin knew he had to modernize Russia
He famously proclaimed: “we are 50 - 100 years behind the advanced countries. We must make good the next 10 years or be crushed.”
He used the 5 year plans to modernize the country
there were 3 five year plans - the first two concentrated on heavy industry- consumer goods were largely left out - stats in Demarco - be familiar with them)
Collectivization was a way to modernize agriculture -- “You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn 1918 - 2008
Friday, 27 February, 15
![Page 24: Read chapter 4 DeMarco by Wednesday. · The Cheka became the OGPU then, 1934, the NKVD the NKVD rounded up all suspected opposition to Stalin in 1937 the “SHOW TRIALS” were held](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062601/5bb89d5e09d3f2cd2f8cc762/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
By 1930 his parent’s property had been turned into a collective farm. Later, Solzhenitsyn recalled that his mother had fought for survival and that they had to keep his father's background in the old Imperial Army a secret. His educated mother (who never remarried) encouraged his literary and scientific learnings and raised him in the Russian Christian Orthodox faith; she died in 1944.
During the war Solzhenitsyn served as the commander of a battery in the Red Army and was involved in major action at the front, and twice decorated.
In February 1945, while serving in East Prussia, Solzhenitsyn was arrested for writing derogatory comments in private letters to a friend, Nikolai Vitkevich, about the conduct of the war by Joseph Stalin. He was accused of anti-Soviet propaganda under Article 58, paragraph 10 of the Soviet criminal code, and of "founding a hostile organization" under paragraph 11. Solzhenitsyn was taken to a prison in Moscow, where he was interrogated. On 7 July 1945, he was sentenced in his absence by the NKVD to an eight-year term in a labour camp. This was the normal sentence for most crimes under Article 58 at the time.

Gradually after the rationing of food was ended in 1935, workers’ standards of living began to improve, although they were nowhere near those of the country’s 7 million civil servants and officials. A factory director or a gov’t planning specialist could earn up to 4000 roubles a month in 1937 = 25 times as much as an ordinary worker.
Was Stalin worth the trouble?
