Born in 1878 into a poor Georgian family, Joseph Stalin embarked on an arduous journey that led to his transformation into the "Man of Steel." After his father abandoned the family, Stalin faced hardships and developed a rebellious nature. In 1898, he joined the Social Democratic Party, becoming an active revolutionary. After being exiled and imprisoned multiple times, Stalin honed his leadership skills and ruthlessness. Upon the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, he rose through the ranks, gaining prominence in the Politburo and eventually consolidating power after Lenin's death. Through his unwavering determination, manipulation, and iron-fisted rule, Stalin became the undisputed dictator of the Soviet Union, leaving an enduring legacy marked by both achievements and horrors.
