Dictatorship?
A ruler with total power over a country, typically who has obtained control by force - Oxford Dictionary
how does typical dictatorship work?
1. Oppression:
Over-worked proletariats entirely depended for national growth, while the leader enjoys luxuries and lies for the justified privileges - making the people believe the extra advantage is legitimate.
2. Artificial Terror:
The leader will force people to confess false sins, creating fear, terror and confusion within the classes. This is a best way to maintain respect, faith and control so that nobody will dare to rebel against the leader.
3. Brainwash:
This is a crucial tool for the leader to gain superiority and control, because brainwashing through propaganda and false info will make the leader's role far more significant then it really is. Therefore the leader will become a heroic or a sacred figure, hence everybody will sacrifice for him/her.
4. Changing Rules:
Autocracy allows the leader to become the ultimate and only power, therefore he/she can modify any rules or laws tailored to their personal advantages/favor. For instance, Napoleon kept changing all the seven commandments, in a way he could fulfill his desires.

dictatorship in the u.s.s.r
Ruled by terror, oppression and dictatorship, Joseph Stalin was considered to be a monster for all the things he had done during his ruthless rule. Similar to Czar Nicholas II, being a dictator meant there were no effective constitutions or laws that challenge the leader's power or decisions, no matter how cruel or inhumane they were. For instance, starving 14.5 million people to death, sending at least 10 million to prison camps where they would never return, executing 1 million for "political offense"...These blood thirsty killings were all instructed by Stalin himself, and in a circumstance that nobody had any say on Stalin's decisions, he could do whatever wants - officially and legally.
