Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a Soviet politician and revolutionary who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held office as General Secretary of the Communist Party from 1922 to 1952 and as premier from 1941 until his death. Despite initially governing the country as part of a collective leadership, he eventually consolidated power to become an absolute dictator by the 1930s. Stalin codified the party’s official interpretation of Marxism to his own version, Stalinism. Born into a poor Georgian family in Gori, Stalin raised funds for Vladimir Lenin’s Bolshevik faction through bank robberies and other crimes and edited the party’s newspaper, Pravda. He was repeatedly arrested and underwent several exiles to Siberia. Stalin was only married twice, but he had many affairs on the side, many of which were not consensual.
