Joseph Stalin[[image:225px-Joseph_Stalin.jpg width="167" height="221" link="http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/index.htm"]]
Joseph Stalin fought with Russia and lead with an iron fist. He was quite powerful, and demanded respect in a cruel, almost monstrous way. Some say this is because as a child his arm was distorted and he fought a battle with small pox. During his time in Russia, leaders of the Democratic Labor party were constantly being exiled, it was a time when a true strong, leader was absent in Russia. Joseph Stalin saw this as an opportunity, and when the leaders of the [|Social Democratic Labor party] were away, he seized the reigns of Russia. The people approved of their new leader, but the law did not. He was arrested numerous times, but he kept coming back; he felt he was destined to rule Russia in his image. He eventually attained this goal, as he lead Russia by instilling fear into the hearts of his people, and murdering his opponents (The Bolsheviks). Eventually, [|Adolph Hitler]’s power swept through Russia, and Stalin’s power slowly but surely faded to nothing. Although Stalin, lead in a bloody manner, he is still honored in Russia, for he industrialized, and brought leadership to a country that severely lacked both of those things.

Botticelli's, "Primavera, is one of his most famous works. The classic painting illustrates the coming of Spring and greatly reflects many of the themes present during the Renaissance. One of these themes is the fact that the main focal point of this painting is not the Christian Religion, Instead, the painting depicts [|Greek] and Roman Gods such as [|Venus] and [|Cupid]. This shows how the people of the Renaissance wanted to return to the ways of wisdom and education that were present during the Ancient Civilizations.

Humanism was the idea that religion should not dominate one's life, and other factors are important as well. This paiting demonstrates the humanism that was present during the Renaissance because it has nothing to do with Religion and is rather about the joy of the coming spring and the celebration of being human.
