The Time is Nigh
Josef Stalin [Archive, biography].
A Georgian who joined the Bolsheviks after the split with the
Mensheviks in 1903. In 1912, Stalin was appointed editor of the
Bolshevik paper Pravda.
Stalin played little role in the Revolution, at first sceptical of the
prospects of insurrection, but followed Lenin in favour of
insurrection, and during the Civil War his undisciplined experiments in
irregular warfare brought him close to court marshall. As General
Secretary of the Party, he became very powerful after the end of the
Civil War and became a spokesperson for “socialism in one country”.
He isolated Lenin during his last days and eventually gained the
ascendancy in the Party after the international setbacks of 1923.
During the Moscow Trials, he systematically eliminated all the Old
Bolsheviks and instituted personal rule over the Party. After having
executed all the experienced military cadre of the Red Army and making
a Pact with Hitler in 1940, he brought the Soviet Union close to
defeat, but emerged after World War Two more powerful than ever. He was
denounced by Nikita Khrushchev only after his death in 1953.
