Joesph Stalin- leader of USSR which was allied. Came to power with power struggle and he became secretary general which is leader, 1927 til 1953. Industrialized his country moved away from agriculture and people died from starvation. Farmers fought back, collectivization was trying to make all farms into big farm. 5 year plan, in 5 years they wanted to improve. He was ruthless. Mass murderer. Great purges, he couldn't trust the people in the government so he killed them. Stalin and Hitler signed and agreement so that they didn't fight and so they invaded Poland. It gave trade. Hitler didn't like Stalin a communist and Hitler eventually broke the pact and invade the Soviet Union. Scorched Earth Policy would just burn things so the German couldn't use it.
