The excellent r/AskHistorians is not moving over to the fediverse. Until they find an ethical site to move to, please:

  1. summarize questions in the title using the most important keywords first,
  2. cite reliable sources when answering questions, and
  3. be courteous.

Check the citations when reading.

Was Stalin an actual Communist? (self.askhistorians)

Did he actually believe in communism? Or did he just see an opportunity to be dictator and took it? There was plenty of industrialization that needed to happen prewar and plenty of rebuilding after the war, so it's actually hard for me to see his true ideology.
