Joseph Stalin was born in Georgia in 1878 with a brutal and abusive father. Stalin joined the Bolsheviks, who were led by Lenin. In 1917, he also played a modest role in the Russian Revolution. Stalin rose to the dominant position in the Communist Party after Lenin's death in 1924. Stalin appeared and gave a report on the achievements of the country's plan for overall development in January 1933. That plan took place from 1928-1932, which was when Stalin would rise to the position of supreme leader of the Soviet Union.
