1/6 Scale Joseph Stalin

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (18 December 1878 - 5 March 1953) was the Premier of the Soviet Union from 6 May 1941 to 5 March 1953.
He was among the Bolshevik revolutionaries who brought about the October Revolution and had held the position of first General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union´s Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953. While fomally the office of the genral Secretary was elective and was not initally regarded as the top position in the Soviet state, after Vlasimir Lenin´s death in 1924, Stalin managed to consolidate more and more power in his hands, gradually putting down all opposition groups within the party. This included Leon Trotsky, the Red Army organizer, proponent of world revolution, and principal critic of Stalin among the early Soviet leaders, who was exiled from the Soviet Union in 1929. Instead, Stalin´s idea of socialism in one country became the primary lone of the Soviet politics.
