This is part 1 of a 2 part episode. 

Stalin’s life was incredible!! good, bad and at many times ugly. 

From a poor kid to the leader of the USSR. 

During the quarter of a century preceding his death, the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin probably exercised greater political power than any other figure in history. Stalin industrialised the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, forcibly collectivised its agriculture, consolidated his position by intensive police terror, helped to defeat Germany in 1941–45, and extended Soviet controls to include a belt of eastern European states.
