Every genocide, mass murder, liberticide (the killing of
liberty), and homicide (the list goes on), has a leader and/or organizer for
the killing. In fact, if you look throughout history, you will find many
leaders of many killings. A few examples of leaders are
Steven Matthew Fernandez, Mao Ze-Dong, Leopold II of Belgium, Hitler, Saddam
Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, and many more. The main leader of The
Ukrainian genocide in (of course) the Ukraine is Josef Stalin, whom uses that
name as a pen name. Josef Stalin actually is named Iosif Vissarionovič Stalin,
which is a really hard name to say (if I do say so myself…). The reason he
chose to change his name is because of the fact that his pen name means man of
steel. Anyway, I digress, Stalin was ruthless, and it was proved by his system
of politics. “Stalin was not one of the decisive players in the Bolshevik
seizure of power in 1917, but he soon rose through the ranks of the party
[through strategic means]. In 1922, he was made general secretary of the
Communist Party, a post not considered particularly significant at the time but
which gave him control over appointments and thus allowed him to build up a
base of support (Joseph Stalin (1879 - 1953)).” This ability of his lead to Stalin being able
to take Vladimir Lenin’s spot in the Soviet government, and the deaths of 6 to
10 million peasants in Ukraine via the manmade famine of his.
