Stalinvast

A world in Ian Watson's Warhammer 2000 novels. It is a hive world in which humans live in vast enclosed cities or "hives", while the remainder of the planet remains wild.

The world is destroyed by the Empire at the end of the first book, to eradicate Genestealers and a demonic hydra-creature which had been planted at its core by a secret cabal.

It's a pretty strange name for a planet. Like, a Russian dictator who's put on weight? I'm surprised anyone settled there.
