The USSR under Stalin with Rich Caballero

Learn how the son of a violent cobbler rose from a Georgian village to rule an empire covering one-sixth of Earth-and was twice named Man of the Year by Time Magazine. Joseph Stalin outmaneuvered Leon Trotsky and other senior Bolsheviks to seize power after Vladimir Lenin’s death. His 1930s policies killed at least 10 million Soviets, and his poor WWII preparation contributed to 27 million more deaths in the war against Nazi Germany-yet he ruled for 27 years and died peacefully in bed.
