Stalin's original name was Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvli (I did some research on it and I am not bullshitting), he later changed his name to Stalin, which meant Man of Steel. He was born on December 21, 1879, in Gori, Republic of Georgia. Both his parents, astonishing to say were Georgian peasants! Neither of them spoke Russian, but Stalin was forced to learn it when he attended a church school (now...he wouldn't have known Russian if he had not attended a Russian Church!). Ironically, Stalin was also the best pupil in the school. His schoolboy nick-name was Soso (please, I am not lying) Now, with this little bit of information on Stalin's past, you should now who and why Stalin is so powerful.
