The USSR was a communist government with Josef Stalin as its leader during World War 2. Stalin ruled as a dictator and was responsible for the deaths of millions he ordered killed.
The Soviet Union.The Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, considered itself to be the world's leader of Communism, since they had the world's first and only Communist country (which is a bit of a contradiction, but that's a story for another time).As the Soviets liberated countries in Eastern Europe, they tended to work with local Communist parties in those countries, and then would install their leaders as the new rulers of the country. With a new Communist government in control, the Soviet Union would then control that government, and thus, that country.
Joseph Stalin was the General Secretary for the Communist Party from 1922 until 1953. He was a part of the Great Turn or Stalin Revolution.
The introduction of the new currency in West Germany alarmed Stalin, as he was worried by the idea of a successful, anti-communist government in the west of Germany. Furthermore to him this raised the possibility of another German attack on Russia, as in 1914 and 1941.
He wanted to send a message of self-sufficiency to his communist allies.
Stalin was a Dictator. His government was a Communist-style government.

Joseph Stalin, who lead the USSR and was the cause of many countries to be dictated.
They had very different ideas on how to run countries, as an example of Stalin being a communist and the Allies all being democratic.
Communism: It is to keep every man equal and average. No one can own private property and it was their form of government/economics.
Stalin's and Marx's ideas of communism were radically different from one another. Stalin's communism consisted of a totalitarian government to control the means of production and exploit the citizens of the country. Marx believed communism would have no government at all; that the means of production would be administered by all and no one would be exploited. Stalin believed in first making a successful and stable communist regime in one country (Russia) first, then spreading it to other countries. Marx believed that communism could not exist in a single country surrounded by capitalist countries. Stalin's "communism" was just a political dictatorship rather than Marx's societal evolution of one type of society (capitalist) into another (socialist/communist). Stalin's government told people what to make, and what jobs to do. Stalin created an elite class of leaders.
