Most Evil Soviet Leaders

Just like the national socialist butchers, the international socialist butchers killed millions of innocents, men, women and little children. This list contains top 10 soviet leaders who killed and screwed mother Russia most.
The Top Ten
Joseph Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a Georgian dictator, and was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. Holding the post of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, he was effectively the dictator of the state.

Stalin was a paranoid successor of Lenin and later became a ruthless dictator. Under his leadership, Ukraine suffered from a famine (Holodomor) so severe that many consider it an act of genocide perpetrated by Stalin's government.

In addition to the famine, Stalin ordered purges within the Soviet Union. Anyone deemed an enemy of the state was either executed by the secret police or sent to the gulag, where they eventually died. Stalin is responsible for the deaths of approximately 42 million people, including men, women, and children. In all of history, only Mao may have killed more.

Vladimir Lenin Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (22 April 1870–21 January 1924), better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration,... read more

Lenin is responsible for the deaths of 4 million people, including men, women, and children. He is often ranked as the 5th greatest murderer of the 20th century, following Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and Chiang Kai-shek. Lenin, driven by rage against society, killed and destroyed everything that generations of hard-working and tolerant people had built.

His barbarism set the tone for every communist regime that followed worldwide.

Lavrenti Beria Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria (29 March 1899 – 23 December 1953) was a Georgian Bolshevik and Soviet politician, Marshal of the Soviet Union and state security administrator, chief of the Soviet security, and chief of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) under Joseph Stalin during World... read more

Lavrenti Beria, a notorious figure in Communist Russia, was one of Stalin's closest and most sinister allies. Stalin referred to him as the Russian Himmler, a title that fit his role perfectly. Just as Himmler was to Hitler, Beria was to Stalin. He was involved in various massacres, including the Katyn massacre, and was in charge of the gulags.

Beria tortured and murdered for the state with impunity and was as egotistical and sadistic as he was temperamental. He was also known for his predatory behavior, including the rape of innocent Soviet girls in his chambers.

Genrikh Yagoda Genrikh Grigoryevich Yagoda, born Yenokh Gershevich Iyeguda was a Soviet-Russian secret police official who served as director of the NKVD, the Soviet Union's security and intelligence agency, from 1934 to 1936. Appointed by Joseph Stalin, Yagoda supervised the arrest, show trial, and execution of the... read more
Leon Trotsky Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionary, Marxist theorist, and Soviet politician whose particular strain of Marxist thought is known as Trotskyism.

Between 1917 and 1924, as the leader of the Red Army during Lenin's war on the peasants, Trotsky was a mass murderer. He was Lenin's chief enforcer in the killing of 4 million innocent people, including men, women, and children. Trotsky supported the killing of all political opponents of the regime, including campaigners for liberal Western democracy. He also supported the extermination of the bourgeoisie.

Vasily Blokhin

Though he did not kill millions, Vasily Blokhin holds the title of "Most Prolific Executioner" of all time, according to the Guinness World Records. He personally executed tens of thousands of prisoners, including approximately 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in the spring of 1940.

Blokhin also carried out executions during the Great Purge, with a total number of victims reaching about 22,000 people.

Lazar Kaganovich Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich (22 November 1893 – 25 July 1991) was a Soviet politician and administrator and one of the main associates of Joseph Stalin. He is known for helping Stalin come to power and for his harsh treatment and execution of those deemed threats to Stalin's regime.

Kaganovich, who was Jewish, is often considered one of the most evil figures in Soviet history. As Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party, he orchestrated the Holodomor. Peasants were banned from entering cities, and Ukrainian villages that did not meet grain quotas were blacklisted and denied food.

He participated in the Holodomor famine and crushed the Ukrainian resistance. Kaganovich was virtually the Soviet Union's Adolf Eichmann, setting a quota of 10,000 executions a week. Eighty percent of Ukrainian intellectuals were shot.

Nikita Khrushchev

Although he aided Fidel Castro against the USA and supported smaller communist countries, Khrushchev criticized Stalin and spread what some claim were lies to the world. This led to an increase in anti-communist propaganda from Western media and damaged the Soviet Union's reputation. His secret speech is considered by many to be one of the most untruthful things he ever said.

To me, he's half good, half demon. He freed people from gulags, but as Krishna said, during the Hungarian Revolution, he caused civilian deaths.

Leonid Brezhnev Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev (December 19, 1906 - November 10, 1982) was a Soviet politician who served as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1964 until his death in 1982. He also served as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (head of state) from 1960 to 1964 and... read more

He was the Butcher of the Prague Spring in 1968 and also responsible for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which still has effects today.

Felix Dzerzhinsky Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky (11 September 1877 – 20 July 1926), nicknamed "Iron Felix", was a Bolshevik revolutionary and official. Born into Polish nobility, from 1917 until his death in 1926 Dzerzhinsky led the first two Soviet state-security organizations, the Cheka and the OGPU, establishing... read more

The Newcomers

? Oleg Baklanov
? Vyacheslav Molotov
The Contenders
Boris Yeltsin

A drunk maniac. He destroyed the greatest country and made it dissolve.

Nikolai Yezhov

Nicknamed "The Bloody Dwarf," Nikolai Yezhov succeeded Yagoda as head of the NKVD. He oversaw the Great Terror, during which hundreds of thousands of intellectuals, Trotskyists, national minority leaders, and other "enemies of the state" were arrested, sent to the Gulag, or executed. He was eventually replaced by Beria and executed in 1940.

Mikhail Gorbachev Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (March 2, 1931 - August 30, 2022) was a Russian politician and statesman who served as the last leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 until its dissolution in 1991.

Not evil at all. He gave democracy to nearly all of Eastern Europe and improved life for millions, ending the Cold War. Yes, he didn't plan on making the Soviet Union collapse (that's actually his biggest regret), but the idea of improving life lived on.

He just wanted greater freedom in the Soviet Union.

He destroyed the socialist motherland.

Georgy Malenkov

He helped Stalin carry out purges.

Eduard Berzin

Eduard Berzin was the first administrator of Dalstroy, the organization responsible for overseeing the forced labor camps in the Kolyma region in the far east. His legacy remains controversial. While conditions in the camps were relatively reasonable during his administration, tens of thousands still died.

Regardless, Berzin played a role in setting up these camps during their formative years. In 1938, he was recalled to the mainland, where he was consumed by the Great Terror and executed. After his death, conditions in Kolyma became much more brutal.

Konstantin Chernenko
Yuri Andropov

He suppressed dissidents, conducted mass arrests, and sent people to mental institutions for going against the state.
