ANALYZING STALIN’S RISE TO POWER AND HIS RETENTION OF POWER

Discuss the objective and subjective conditions that led to Stalin’s rise to power and retention of power. The paper needs a title that reflects its theme. Ten citations from one of the two texts are required.
The books are:
1)Brian Moynahan, The Russian Century, Random House, ISBN 0679764354
2)Simon Sebag Montefiore, Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar, Vintage, ISBN 9781400076789

Sidenote: My friend will also be ordering a paper with the same assignment, so if it’s possible please write two different essays with the same instructions. She will fill out the application shortly.

Thank you very much.
