Stalin! Stalin! Stalin!
The picture shows many people of the USSR holding up banners of Stalin. This shows that Stalin is supported by the people of the USSR as a leader. I chose this source as it clearly shows that Stalin managed to win over many of the people's heart to support him through his political journey. This is beneficial for the USSR as it means that the people are following Stalin willingly, instead of reluctantly which will let Stalin have more power over the people and there would be lesser riots to overthrow Stalin.
