Question

Give in brief the impact of stalin region of terror

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathfrak{Answer}$

Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) was the dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from 1929 to 1953.

Under Stalin, the Soviet Union was transformed from a peasant society into an industrial and military superpower. However, he ruled by terror, and millions of his own citizens died during his brutal reign.

Answer 2

Stalin's Reign of Terror signifies a dark period in Soviet History. While the numbers detailing just how many people died are often approximate - there is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people perished as a result (whether direct or indirect) of his policies. Because many of Stalin's victims were killed due to their political leanings, historians have a difficult time classifying this period of history as a series of genocidal events. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's website:

[G]enocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
