Stalinist policies and ideas that were developed in the Soviet Union included rapid industrialization, the theory of socialism in one country, a totalitarian state, collectivization of agriculture, a cult of personality and subordination of the interests of foreign communist parties to those of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, deemed by Stalinism to be the leading vanguard party of communist revolution at the time.

This came to be known as the Great Turn as Russia turned away from the near-capitalist New Economic Policy (NEP) and instead adopted a command economy.]]> 2020-02-21 18:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/grpanzer/p137xn8nc1v2/wish/448755889 grpanzer https://padlet.com/grpanzer/p137xn8nc1v2/wish/448758130 Stalin considered the political and economic system under his rule to be Marxism–Leninism, which he considered the only legitimate successor of Marxism and Leninism. The historiography of Stalin is diverse, with many different aspects of continuity and discontinuity between the regimes of Stalin and Lenin proposed.]]> 2020-02-21 18:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/grpanzer/p137xn8nc1v2/wish/448758130 grpanzer https://padlet.com/grpanzer/p137xn8nc1v2/wish/448761833 After Lenin’s death, Stalin rose in power because of his cunning manipulative personality and it was shown in the event of Lenin’s Funeral. One can clearly tell how significant and effective Stalin’s skills because he wanted to portray himself as the legitimate successor and destroy Trotsky’s positive image as Lenin’s chosen successor. Lenin died on the 21st of January 1924 and his funeral was held six days after his death in the Red Square. The cult of Leninism had just begun after the Red Terror and Stalin gave it momentum at Lenin’s Funeral by acting as a pallbearer and giving the oration with an oath of loyalty made to Lenin’s legacy. Stalin had contacted Trotsky, whom was resting in South Russia because of his illness. Having a cunning personality, Stalin convinced Trotsky to not attend Lenin’s Funeral because he would not been able to arrive on time and by accepting Stalin’s proposal, Trotsky’s image was heavily injured. At the end of the Funeral, Stalin had a very successful outcome because the general public had the impression that he was designated to become Lenin’s successor since it looked like he was taking on the “Mantle of Leninism”. ]]> 2020-02-21 18:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/grpanzer/p137xn8nc1v2/wish/448761833 grpanzer https://padlet.com/grpanzer/p137xn8nc1v2/wish/448762463
Great Purge, also called purge trials, three widely publicized show trials and a series of closed, unpublicized trials held in the Soviet Union during the late 1930s, in which many prominent Old Bolsheviks were found guilty of treason and executed or imprisoned. All the evidence presented in court was derived from preliminary examinations of the defendants and from their confessions. It was subsequently established that the accused were innocent, that the cases were fabricated by the secret police (NKVD), and that the confessions were made under pressure of intensive torture and intimidation. The trials successfully eliminated the major real and potential political rivals and critics of Joseph Stalin. The trials were the public aspect of the widespread purge that sent millions of alleged “enemies of the people” to prison camps in the 1930s.
