BROSEPH STALIN

By Ricky

Stalin was born on December 21, 1879, in Gori, a town near Tbilisi. His real name was Iosif Vissarionovich Djugashvili. But, in 1913, he changed it to Stalin, which meant “man of steel” in Russian. Not much is known about Stalin’s childhood. His father was an unsuccessful village shoemaker. He is said to have been a drunkard who was mean to Stalin. Stalin grew up as an only child. Stalin caught smallpox around the age of 7, and the sickness marked his face for life. In 1888, Stalin’s mother sent him to a little church school in Gori. He spent 5 years there, and was a very smart kid. Then he got a scholarship at the religious seminary in Tbilisi. He entered in 1894 to study for the priesthood in the Georgian Orthodox Church.

After Stalin left the seminary, he got a job as a clerk at the Tbilisi Geophysical Observatory. In a year, he began his career as an active revolutionist. In 1900, Stalin helped organize a small May Day protest near Tbilisi. This protested working conditions. In 1902, Stalin was arrested and put into jail for his revolutionary activities. In 1903, he was transferred from jail and put into exile in Siberia. However, he escaped from Siberia in January, 1904. He returned to Tbilisi and joined the Bolsheviks. Stalin and Vladimir Lenin met in Finland in 1905. Most of the time between 1906 and 1917, he was either in jail or in exile. And in 1917, the Bolsheviks took over Russia, which was called the October Revolution.

Lenin became head of the new government after the revolution and named Stalin commissar of nationalities. Within a few months, opposition of this new government grew in parts of the country. Soon this turned into a civil war.

The Bolsheviks won the war in 1920. They began to re-build to country because of the war. But while this was happening, Stalin was creating a plan that not even Lenin knew about. But by the end of 1922, Lenin was getting pretty uneasy by Stalin’s rise to power. Before Lenin was attacked by a series of strokes, he wrote a note saying that Stalin must be removed from office. But, because of his illness, Lenin couldn’t remove Stalin. Lenin died in 1924. The leading Bolsheviks finally discovered Lenin’s note, but they simply ignored it. And Stalin continued destroying his opponents. In December, 1929, Stalin became the dictator of Russia.

In 1929, Stalin began to seize control of agriculture. He ended private farming andSheep transferred the control of farms, farm equipment, and livestock to the government. But the farmers protested his order and destroyed about half of the U.S.S.R’s livestock and much of its produce.

By the late 1930’s, Hitler was ready to conquer Europe. And in 1939, the U.S.S.R and Germany signed a treaty agreeing not to go to war to each other. Stalin and Hitler also planned to divide Poland between themselves. Germany quickly conquered western Poland, and the Soviet Union siezed the eastern side. Germany and the Soviets signed another treaty setting the borders for the division of Poland.

In March, 1943, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Stalin agreed that the U.S., the U.K. and the U.S.S.R. would work together nonstop until Germany was defeated.

Early in 1953, Stalin prepared to replace the top men in the Soviet government. Apparently he was planning a great purge. Then on March 4, 1953, the Central Committee of the Communist Party announced that Stalin had suffered a brain hemorrhage on March 1. Stalin died on March 5, 1953.

he commissioned one to be written just for him, titled "The Purge Mystery".

Now, the Devil, he was reading
in the Good Book one day
how that Lord created Adam
to walk the righteous way
and it made the Devil jealous
he turned green up to his horns
and he swore by things unholy
and he made one of his own

So he packed two suitcases
full of greed and misery
and he caught the Midnight Special
going down to Germany
then he mixed his lies and hatred
with fire and brimstone
then the Devil sat upon it
that's how Adolf was born

Now Adolf got the notion
that he was the master race
and he swore he'd bring New Order
and put mankind in its place !
So he set a scheme in motion
and was winning everywhere
until he up and got the notion
for to kick that Russian bear

Stalin wasn't stallin'
when he told the Beast of Berlin
that they'd never rest contented
till they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
and proceeded to extinguish
the Fuhrer and its vermin
this is how it all began

Yes he kicked that noble Russian
but it wasn't very long
before Adolf got suspicious
that he had done something wrong
Cause that bear grabbed the Fuhrer
and gave him an awful fright
seventeen months he scrapped the Fuhrer
tooth and claw, day and night

Then that bear smacked the Fuhrer
with a mighty armored paw
and Adolf broke all records
running backwards towards Krakaw
Then Goebbels sent a message
to the people everywhere
that if they couldn't hit the Fuhrer
Go down hit that Russian bear

Stalin wasn't stallin'
when he told the Beast of Berlin
that they'd never rest contented
till they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
and proceeded to extinguish
the Fuhrer and its vermin
this is how it all began

Then this bear called on his buddy
the noble fighting Yank
and they sent the Fuhrer running
with their ships and planes and tanks
Now the Fuhrer's having nightmares
cause the Fuhrer knows damn well
that the Devil's done wrote "Welcome"
on his residence in Hell
