    Joseph Stalin rose to power in the Soviet Union after the 1917 Russian Revolution. As general secretary of the Communist Party, he consolidated power by removing opponents like Trotsky through exile. Stalin instituted a series of Five Year Plans from 1928 to 1941 to rapidly industrialize the Soviet Union through collectivization and state control of production. During the Great Purge of 1934 to 1939, Stalin had the NKVD liquidate opposition that was labeled "enemies of the people" through show trials and imprisonment in the Gulag system, resulting in an estimated 20 million deaths. Stalin cultivated a cult of personality where he was portrayed as an all-powerful father figure through propaganda that rewrote history and devoted worship.
