Joseph Stalin was a terrible person. In his rise to power, Stalin ordered many people to be killed before he got his power, while he was in power, and Joseph Stalin killed many people in his purges or mass killings. Most people died in his purges because he was paranoid that they could take away his power. For instance one of his purges was on the Red Army where 30,000 people died. Some of them died because he was paranoid that they would start a revolution and take his power. Another example is the purge of his own government party. He killed everyone who helped him get to where he got. Not only did he kill people, he also stuck them in Gulag camps. He stuck his own people in Gulag camps so they could not revolt against him.
