I think Stalin was a bad leader although the Five-Year plan did help Russia to grow economically as there was a great increase in the amount of things they needed but the people working were suffering. All the harvesting rate was good at first but after the first 5 years, the harvesting rate dropped again. However, under Stalin’s rule, millions of the people who put their trust in him were killed. He forced a ruthless policy on his people that increased his control, but damaged his country. To add, Stalin was part to blame for a huge famine that killed between 5-8 million people. Lastly, Stalin launched a reign of terror know as The Great Purge, that increased his power but did no benefit to his people. Stalin may be a good ruler, but the methods he used and the changes he made were at the expense of his country and his people. When Stalin forced collectivization on the peasants, they used any means possible to resist. Acts such as killing farm animals, burning precious crops, and destroying working tools, were all ways the peasants rebelled against this policy.
Concluding Stalin as a bad leader.
But some Russian still like him till today.
