WHAT DOES STALINISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stalinism

Stalinism

Stalinism is a policy on how to construct socialism and develop a communist society, conceived and implemented by Joseph Stalin. Stalinist policies in the Soviet Union included: state terror, authoritarianism, rapid industrialization, the theory of socialism in one country, a centralized state, collectivization of agriculture, and subordination of interests of foreign communist parties to those of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union—deemed to be the most forefront vanguard party of communist revolution at the time. Stalinist industrialization was officially designed to accelerate the development towards communism, stressing that such rapid industrialization was needed because the country was previously economically backward in comparison with other countries; and that it was needed in order to face the challenges posed by internal and external enemies of communism. Rapid industrialization was accompanied with mass collectivization of agriculture and rapid urbanization. Rapid urbanization converted many small villages into industrial cities.
