Why Stalin Won

The article discusses the charismatic leadership of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The sixteenth party congress just ended was a complete victory for the general secretary of the communist party of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin. The Premier was unexpectedly retained in the Politburo, and his Right-wing colleagues, were reelected into the Central Committee on Stalin's own wish. They get another trial. They could easily have been eliminated. The congress did Stalin's bidding. What is the secret of Stalin's unquestioned strength? He controls every wheel and screw of the party machine, which is the source of authority and power in the Soviet Union. This is extremely important. For dynamic energy, driving force, and discipline the Russian Communist Party is unique the world over, perhaps even throughout history.
