This political figure, born Joseph Dzhugashvili, adopted the name Stalin, meaning "Man of Steel," when he was 34 years old. He joined the Social Democratic party, and once the RSDLP split in 1903, Stalin became a member of the Bolshevik party. After several years of of run-ins with government authorities and involvement with Pravda and the October Revolution, he was elected to the post of commissar for nationalities. Following the subsequent civil war, he gained the majority vote and was elected to General Secretary of the Communist party. Afterwards he dedicated a lot of time advocating the achievement of Socialism within a single country.
