Stalin – A Criminal Before The Revolution

As can be learnt from the great universal encyclopedia of our times – Wikipedia – the successor to Lenin was a bank robber, counterfeiter. He was someone who conducted protection rackets, ransom kidnappings, and robberies. Details about his pre-revolutionary criminal career are unfortunately not provided in the article.

What is missing in the article about Stalin is that Stalin supposedly did not even bother to attend the funeral of his mother. The article about her mother does not mention it either. That is how a middle-aged Russian remembers Stalin.
