Joseph Stalin
aka “Joe Steel”
![Page 2: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
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 mineralsuntouched
![Page 3: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
though railways existed there was not much in the way of modern transportation
in 1925 only 7448 cars, 5500 trucks and 263 buses
![Page 4: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
80% of people lived on farms
most of these were peasants (120 million)
most peasants were desperately poor--even in 1928 five and a half million families still broke soil with wooden ploughs
half the nation’s grain harvested with scythes and sickles
richer peasants who owned farm machinery & employed labourers = kulaks.

Posturing
Stalin “tampered” with photos/sketches, positioning himself beside Lenin who, in fact, preferred Trotsky as his replacement
![Page 13: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Stalin should not replace Lenin
![Page 16: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• "Comrade Stalin, having become General Secretary, has concentrated enormous power in his hands: and I am not sure that he always knows how to use that power with sufficient caution. I therefore propose to our comrades to consider a means of removing Stalin from this post and appointing someone else who differs from Stalin in one weighty respect: being more tolerant, more loyal, more polite, more considerate of his comrades."
Lenin’s Last Will and Testament

- Two groups / schools of thought emerge:
1)Moderates
2) Left Opposition
![Page 20: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1) Moderates:
- maintain NEP
- slow transition to Communism
- limit pressure on peasantry
- Stalin pretended to be a Moderate (gain support)
![Page 21: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2) Left Opposition
- want quick transition to Communism
- want rapid transition in heavy industry
- Trotsky part of this group.

U.S.S.R. (1924-1929)Economically: Chaotic - mix of capitalism & Marxism
-peasant dominated-not advanced industrially-food shortages in urban centres- agric. conditions improved so food prices drop -
but price of manufactured goods still high so peasants can't get goods they need or want.
- debate forms: heavy industry or consumer goods... also, need to re-arm U.S.S.R - leads to "guns or butter" question... (arms vs. consumer goods)* Stalin opts for "guns" - most of GNP deployed to industry (not private consumption)
![Page 37: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Economy under Stalin:
• Stalin recognized that U.S.S.R economy was far behind other modern nations.
• Quote: “We must do in ten to fifteen years what you have done in 150”.
• He would force U.S.S.R to rapidly industrialize by instituting his “Five Year Plans”
![Page 38: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A. 1st Five Year Plan (1928) 1. Command Economy:
- gov't controls production, distribution, consumption
- attempt to dramatically increase industrial production by setting quotas/ targets
- focus on “Heavy Industry” w/ emphasis on power, energy, dams, oil, transport, concrete, iron, steel
- total state control of economy (exact opposite of free market economy)
![Page 39: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
2. Collectivization:
WHAT?
- a process of forcing peasants to give up their own land and become workers on collective farms > state owned
- create collective farms “Kolkhoz” : > Grouping together of livestock> Small farms pooled into larger farms
(thousands of acres of land with hundreds of peasants working them)
> Pool equipment, resources, expertise

• increase efficiency > better use of modern farm equipment (tractors, combines)
• implement Communism; eliminate private land ownership
• increase gov't control over the economy and peasants (quotas)
• increase Stalin's power over the state

Humanitarian Consequences of Collectivization:
“You Can’t Make An Omelette Without Breaking
Some Eggs...”

a). Kolkhoz working conditions:• Grueling hours, backbreaking work
• System of internal passports prevented peasants from leaving their farms
• If born on a Kolkhoz, had to stay there for whole lives.
• Essentially “neo-serfdom” – Communist bureaucracy replaced the former landowners.
Humanitarian Consequences of Collectivization:
![Page 46: The Emergence of Joseph Stalin](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816613550346895dd95c76/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
b). Kulaks:o wealthy peasants > targeted by Stalino self-sufficient > did not want collectivization
Stalin's Response:- sees them as "enemies of the state"- "liquidated" - eliminated as an example > killed or
> marched to Siberia to Gulags - die /work in mines until dead

Why? Kulaks were a symbol of free enterprise (capitalism) and therefore a threat
to collectivization.
Result:
o approx. 5 million Kulaks died / "disappeared"o massive famine & persecution led to millions
more deaths o estimated 6-7 million die from 1920-1938.

3. Connections b/w Command Economy & Collectivization: • both controlled by gov't
• Stalin's plan was to take agriculture profits to sell in foreign markets to pay for heavy industry
• Collectivisation feeds the industry workers
• Industry provides the tractors / farm machinery for collectivisation
• Peasants leave land because mechanization requires fewer farm workers > go to cities > more labourers to work in factories > more factories

• industrial production increases > results in more farm machinery produced
• produces agriculture to sell for profit to fund heavy industry
• heavy industry to help USSR build infrastructure to build weapons to defend itself
• Stalin: "We must do in ten to fifteen years what you have done in 150"

Egalitarianism - treating men as equals was sacrificed...
∆ Marx taught that people would work for the common good, not for selfish, private gain
∆ Stalin taught that until the U.S.S.R could produce enough to satisfy everyone's needs, egalitarianism was mere "pie in the sky" (workers with skills got perks)
