500 _a"Drawing on the author's extensive research into recently uncovered documents on Stalin's life, and reflecting the current state of knowledge in the field, this concise biography untangles the enigma of Stalin and elucidates his political thought and action. The world order changed irreversibly with the establishment of the Soviet Union. Kuromiya argues that without understanding Stalin, one cannot understand the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
