Account for the development of totalitarianism under Stalin between 1928 and 1945.
From 1928 to 1945, a system of government developed in the Soviet Union, which many scholars have termed totalitarian. Josef Stalin, the General Secretary of the Communist Party, initiated policies and campaigns throughout this period, which provided him with an unprecedented amount of control over such a large nation as the USSR. Many steps where taken between 1928 to 1945 to develop Stalin’s totalitarians
The first step was taken in 1928, when the forced collectivisation of the countryside was begun. Grain was becoming a major problem and Stalin called for the Uralo-Siberian method of grain collection, which gave the peasants the lowest prices. Stalin said the party should strike hard against the kulaks. ... Whether Stalin was involved in his death or not, it is undisputable that he took advantage of his comrades death by initiating a purge which affected all levels of society, from the poor to the privileged, those in and out of the government, the military, and even the secret police, which was the main tool of carrying out the purges.
