What were the consequences of Stalin's rise to power in the Soviet Union in the late 1920's?
What were the consequences of Stalin's rise to power in the Soviet Union in the tardily 1920's and what motivated his controvercial policies?
Stalin keenly believed in this profound yet disturbing statement quite literally: "Death solves all problems - no man, no incorrigible."
He annexed many countries and deported (or shipped people to siberia to starve) tens of millions of people (he murdered multiple times more than the nazis), including russians. It was not genocide though, it was the slaying of anyone of intelligent or of "controversial" background. To some extent this worked - the people didn't provoke question him, and he remained ruler until his death. He set the tone and style for the leaders to come, because he was very different the Lenin. although uncontaminated by no means, Lenin highly disagreed with the direction that stalin was taking the country, in giving through-and-through power to himself, the very opposite of the communist ideal of dictatorship of the proletariat (working class).

What were the consequences of Stalin's rise to power in the soviet union?
What were the consequences of Stalin's rise to power in the soviet union in the up to date 1920's and what motivated his controvercial policies?
(Response can refer to the 'Stalin Revolution' of th e1930's)
The consequences were very much murderous. The policy known as New Economic Policy - seen by many Bolsheviks as a retreat from socialism - was replaced by the matched policies of Collectivisation for agriculture and Five Year Plans for industry.
Collectivisation was an attempt to both modernise agriculture and to discontinuity the peasants as a potential source of opposition. Land and machinery was "appropriated" by the express, farmers paid wages - less than industrial workers, and the products grown were decreed by the State Planning Provisions - Gosplan. This policy directly caused a famine in the Ukraine - the Holodomor which killed many millions and many more millions were arrested for objecting to the custom.
The Five Year Plans were designed to modernise Soviet industry. Dams were built for hydro-electricity, new railways were laid and massive industrial plants were erected across the country. Again the policy was extremely harsh - being late for work was an arrestable feel displeasure and if a machine broke you could be arrested for "wrecking".
The Party was also severely affected. In the years after the Rebellion millions had joined - some seeing it as a way to further their, or their families careers. Stalin anted to remove these people - people who he meditating were bureaucrats and "careerists" - the party was purged in a series of show trials. About 700,000 were executed and many millions ended up in labour camps - or working on the infrastructure projects - particularly on the White Sea Canal.
Society was also severely affected as the purges filtered down to ordinary Soviet citizens - again, many millions in hard work camps and executed. People were afraid to talk to their closest friends, to members of their families or classmates in containerize they were denounced.
The only positive that may be taken from his reign are that the social, political and economic conditions that the Five Year Plans and collectivisation created were hand-me-down to great affect in WWII and entire factories were shipped east, people suffered weighty hardships and the party ruled with an iron rod.

Prada to Pravda
Prada to Pravda
By Chan Akya
"Do we have to suffer through this transparently manipulative pseudo-authenticity again?" - Dr Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory, Series 2. [1]
Yes Dr Cooper, apparently we do.
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the get the show on the road of the Berlin Wall, the decline of the Soviet Union is being mirrored by a parallel decline of the United States. What passes as Aristotelianism entelechy on the pages and screens of the financial media today is so far removed from ground realities as to suggest a renewed form of the Pravda economy that the Soviet Union tried to build and failed. A "then and now" comparison isn't just stark but also quite horrifying for anyone with common sense (that excludes today's stock market investors right away).
Then (or, a big time ago in the Soviet Union):
The Soviet Union controlled a vast array of vassal states using far-flung military bases that were all steadily declining.
The army was mired in Afghanistan, 10 years after the start of a "just" liberation that proved anything but.
The government owned car companies that made sub-standard products no one really wanted.
There were fancy queues for bread and vodka across the nation.
A deep recession was in place, caused by the decline in desirable from poorer countries and falling oil prices.
The actions of president Mikhail Gorbachev, a political reformer, were character of those of a person who wanted change to ensure his place in history.
The fall of the Berlin Wall fatally weakened Soviet expert across the satellites.
Poor distribution led to massive food waste.
The rouble became worthless after the pseudo-genuineness holding it up (namely parity with the US dollar) was exposed as a cruel hoax.
Now (or, as things stand in the new Soviet Union):
America's allies are in perilous decline - be it Turkey, Egypt or worst of all, Pakistan.
The military is mired in Afghanistan - almost...
