Russia under Stalin:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under Joseph Stalin, Russia expanded geographically and politically to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). This period was marked by significant territorial expansion and consolidation. Perestroika and glasnost were policies introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1980s, not under Stalin. Stalin's era, contrary to being unable to industrialize, was characterized by rapid industrialization and collectivization, albeit with significant human cost.
