What it cost, and what Stalin ruthlessly enacted, transformed the country and its ruler in profound and enduring ways. Building and running a dictatorship, with life and death power over hundreds of millions, made Stalin into the uncanny figure he became. Stephen Kotkin’s Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929–1941 is the story of how a political system forged an unparalleled personality and vice versa. 600 10 Stalin, Joseph,|d1878-1953|xPsychology. 600 10 Stalin, Joseph,|d1878-1953. 650 0 Dictators|zSoviet Union|vBiography. 650 0 Heads of state|zSoviet Union|vBiography. 650 0 Political culture|zSoviet Union|xHistory. 651 0 Soviet Union|xHistory|y1925-1953. 651 0 Soviet Union|xPolitics and government|y1917-1936. 651 0 Soviet Union|xPolitics and government|y1936-1953. 994 C0|bWHP
