The Development of Totalitarianism Under Stalin

Totalism under the rule of Stalin developed in 1928, and Stalin became the leader of CPSU and successor to Lenin. Stalin's power to appoint party parliament and Politburo passage was full of Stalinist supporters. Political discussions gradually disappeared from the party and led to the development of the Soviet Union's totalitarian state. Stalin can expand his personal authority and party and human control through party and bureaucracy.

Lenin died in 1924, and Sterling soon led the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Under Stalin's rule, Lenin's repressive reform continued, and finally Russia became totalitarian. As a result, Stalin became the most powerful figure in Russia. Since he dominated almost all political power, he began a campaign to eliminate any opposition against Communist rule. This period was called "major cleaning" in Russia. Stalin executed anyone standing in his path. (Tucker 455)

In the Soviet Union, Stalin operated one of the most successful dictatorship regimes in the world. The rule of Stalin transcended his dictator who introduced totalitarianism to Russia. In a nutshell, Stalin controls every aspect of the life of Russian people. As an absolute ruler of the Soviet Union, Stalin proposed his own series of ideas, a way to manage the country and to force people to follow his ideals. Stalin had only one party to allow him to work in the Soviet Communist Party. People have no chance to participate in the formulation of public policy. As a master of propaganda, Stalin can manipulate people to accept his ideals, and each form of learning (school, literature, and art) has something to do with Stalin's ideology. The Soviet government under the control of Stalin looks very democratic. Stalin has shown to the outside world that he is fulfilling his wishes.
