How successful was Joseph Stalin in establishing Soviet Union as a superpower?
Journal Title: Journal of Education Culture and Society - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This essay will firstly address the extent of Joseph Stalin’s achievements in leading the course for domestic policy of the Soviet Union and its contribution towards maintaining the country’s supremacy in the world, for example the rapid post-war recovery of industry and agriculture, and secondly, the foreign policy including ambiguous relations with Communist governments of countries forming the Eastern Bloc, maintaining frail alliances and growing antagonism towards western powers, especially the United States of America. The actions and influence of J. Stalin’s closest associates in the Communist Party and the effect of Soviet propaganda on the society are also reviewed. This investigation will cover the period from 1945 to 1953. Additionally, other factors such as the impact of a post-war worldwide economic situation and attitude of the society of the Soviet Union will be discussed.
