Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (18 December 1878 - 5 March 1953) was the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953.

Many people view him as a despotic tyrant and his agricultural policies contributed to the catastrophic Soviet famine of 1932-1933.

Which country was communist in the 1930s?

In the 1930s, the only communist country in the world was the Soviet Union (USSR). The USSR was established after the Russian Revolution of 1917, which led to the overthrow of the Russian monarchy and the creation of a communist state under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party. By the 1930s, the Soviet Union was under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, who consolidated power and began implementing a series of economic and political policies, including forced collectivization and rapid industrialization. Other countries, such as China, had communist movements, but they were not yet in power during the 1930s. In China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), led by Mao Zedong, was engaged in a long struggle against the Nationalist government, but it was not until 1949 that the communists took control and established the People's Republic of China. Thus, in the 1930s, the Soviet Union was the primary communist state in the world.
