STALINISM

Thousands of people were placed under surveillance and arrested
They were interned in forced labour camps called gulags
massive political trials were held
involving even old Bolsheviks
involving even old Bolshevik
victimised
imprisoned
deported
executed
With Stalin
the Soviet state took control of the economy
He decreed the end of the New Economic Policy
He did this using five-year plans
with the aim of making the country self-sufficient from an industrial and military point of view
The five-year plans also included the collectivisation of agriculture
The collectivisation was brutally carried out and many kulaks
Trotsky
defended the expansion of the revolution
was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1929
He was assassinated in 1940
by a Soviet agent
Stalin imposed his vision of socialism on a single country
and progressively normalised diplomatic relations with capitalist countries
The USSR joined the League of Nations in 1934
he tried to control communist parties around the world through the Third International or Comintern
it was later used to serve Stalin’s interests
ensure the security of the Soviet state
Lenin died in 1924
It was expected that the direction of the Soviet state would fall to a collective body
formed by Trotsky and Stali
the comrades expressed differences on what policies should be carried out
Stalin eliminated them and established himself as the sole leader
The USSR began a totalitarian phase
The new policy brought profound industrial renewal
Although it failed in agriculture and caused famines
it produced a phase of accelerated economic growth
This growth was even more significant as it paralleled the Great Depression in capitalist countries
it suffered significant social rejection
due to the repression of any type of opposition
due to the low standard of living that it imposed on the population
Citizens did not benefit from industrialisation in their daily lives
