Joseph Stalin
538 books426 followersJoseph Stalin, originally Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili, was a Soviet revolutionary, politician and statesman who became the leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1941–1953).
Initially governing the country as part of a collective leadership, he consolidated power to become an informal dictator by the 1930s. Ideologically adhering to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, he formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies are called Stalinism.

Volume 4 of the collected works of Stalin offers a great insight into the situation in the Republic of Soviets during the Russian Civil War. Mostly consisting of correspondence with Lenin and speeches and articles on the war, along with some other works on the national question and the organisation of the Soviet state, the reader will get a first-hand account into the affairs of Soviet Russia as it fought off the White Guards, Interventionists, and Polish landlords, how the national question was solved, and how the power of the working people through the Soviets was put into practice from Lenin's right-hand man himself.
An indispensable book for the study of the history of the Soviet Union during the tumultuous days following the Great Socialist October Revolution and the Russian Civil War alongside the History of the CPSU(B) and the History of the Civil War in the USSR, both of which Stalin helped edit.
