Yes but dont forget a paragraph on how ideology did not help.Just off the top of my head this is what i'd frame my paragraphs around:
- Propaganda and censorship.
- The belief in eliminating all opposition.
- Repression and terror through purges and show trials.
These transformed Russia by creating a climate of fear and a system of loyalty that allowed Stalin to consolidate absolute power, standing alone in the Politburo by 1929.
For example talk about socialism in one country, instead of trying to spread communism worldwide.
Also how people still pushed back against him (ie people hiding food from collectivisation (although that might have been the Bolsheviks I don't remember lol)).
