"스탈린 시대" refers to the period of Soviet history when 조셉 스탈린 was the leader, roughly from the late 1920s until his death in 1953. This era is marked by rapid industrialization, collectivization of agriculture, and significant political repression. Stalins' policies aimed to transform the Soviet Union into a major world power, but they often resulted in widespread famine and suffering. During the 스탈린 시대, the government implemented a series of purges to eliminate perceived enemies, leading to the imprisonment and execution of millions. The period also saw the establishment of a totalitarian regime, where dissent was not tolerated, and propaganda was used to maintain control over the population.
