Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (help·info) (Russian: Ио́сиф Виссарио́нович Ста́лин, Iosif Vissarionovič Stalin; December 18 [O.S. December 6] 1878[1] – March 5, 1953), alternatively transliterated Josef Stalin, was the de facto leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s to his death in 1953 and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922-1953), a position which had later become that of party leader. (Stalin held the title of the Central Committee's General Secretary between 1922 and 1934; between 1934 and 1953 he was, nominally, just one of several Central Committee Secretaries, but his leadership was universally acknowledged .)

Stalin exterminated over 20 million of his own people.
FDR and our news media used to call him "Uncle Joe". During WWII, FDR gave Stalin all of Eastern Europe, causing the deaths of millions more.
