Stalin´s Communism:
Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union, and when he was in power he implemented a new policy called Stalinism. This policies included the rapid industrialization, socialism, a centralized state, collectivization of agriculture, and subordination of interests of other socialist's parties to those of the Communist Party. This rapid industrialization was needed because the country was previously economically backward in comparison with other countries. Rapid industrialization was accompanied with mass collectivization of agriculture and rapid urbanization. Rapid urbanization consisted in converting small villages into industrial cities.
