Evidence showed that Stalin was not a savior of Russia by creating economic policies to help agriculture and also modernize Russia. Stalin's plan was to make Russia an industrial giant, so Stalin created the Five Year Plan to work in Russia's farms and factories. Stalin's Five Year Plans were a series of nationally centralized economic plans in the Soviet Union (Wikipedia). This meant that peasants who did not have jobs had to work on a specific target that Stalin had to increase which was seen as a stimulus to the economy. The first five-year plan introduced in 1928 focused on the development of iron and steel, machine tools, electric power and transportation. Joseph Stalin set high goals for workers. He demanded an increase of 110% in coal production, 200% in iron production and 335% in electric power. He justified these demands by asserting that if rapid industrialization did not take place, the Soviet Union would not be able to defend itself against an invasion from Western capitalist countries (John Simkin). Thus, peasants would have work to increase the production of iron and steel, which could be sold to increase the Russian economy but would not contribute to benefiting these peasants. For the Second Five-Year Plan, Stalin expanded the goals of his previous plan and placed emphasis on heavy work. industry. This plan aimed to advance the Soviet Union's communications systems, particularly the railways, which were improving in both speed and reliability. The Second Five-Year Plan failed to reach the level of success of the previous plan, as it failed to meet production targets in the coal and oil industries. This plan incorporated new methods of increasing production, including incentives, punishments, the Party, repression of the poor, persecution of the unaffiliated, and Red leadership. Widespread police surveillance, imprisonment, the spread of suspicion of saboteurs and executions. During the Great Purge, also known as the Great Terror, Stalin ensured that those who knew too much about the army's purge and critics of Stalin were killed. Joseph Stalin sowed fear throughout the Soviets by arresting and prosecuting critics of his collectivization policy and treatment of peasants. Stalin ruled as a dictator over the Soviet Union from 1932 until his death in 1957. (Ask.com) In conclusion, Stalin was not a savior for Russia. During his reign, Stalin's goals were to improve the economy and strengthen the military, but he created an authoritarian government where no one could speak out to improve Russia. So for Stalin, he was not a savior for Russia.
