Stalin!
As the weather turns cold, our minds turn to Russia, its bitter cold winters, and Stalin, one of the coldest hearts that ever beat.
Thanks to collectivization, famine in the Ukraine, the Great Purge, and the Gulag, Stalin was responsible for the deaths of 20 million of his own people.
A mass murderer, his name is synonymous with totalitarianism. If it weren’t for Hitler, Stalin would have been the worst person of the 20th century.
Are you teaching Stalin? The rise of dictators? Totalitarianism?
Take a look at our FREE lesson on “Stalin’s rise to power”.
