Russian Name: Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin. One of the Right Hand Men to Vladimir Lenin. He became the Russian Premier after eliminating his competition, Leon Trotsky, and ruled as dictator from 1924 (at first part of a Russian 'troika' political union) until his death in 1953. One of the terrorists of history, he executed thousands during his purge years, but was one of the three strongest leaders in WWII.
