Joseph Stalin: biography, family, quotes. Nationality of Stalin

Until now, disputes over the life of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin have not ceased. This is a man who for the whole 2 generations was able to get ahead of all other people in his understanding not only of the state apparatus, but also of global sociology. Stalin's nationality still evokes many opinions, as a result, a lot of versions have been put forward, several of which will now be considered.

Mystery of origin

Investigating a large number of archives, you can stumble upon various mentions and facts that can speak in favor of one or another theory. Thus, the Armenian version says that Stalin's nationality is directly connected with his mother, who because of her poverty was forced to work as an ordinary washerwoman from a rich merchant. After she became pregnant, she was quickly married to Vissarion Dzhugashvili. But this version still does not provide enough facts to understand what kind of nationality Stalin was.

Georgian theory suggests that its roots go to a single prince called Egnatoshvili. By the way, already at the time when Stalin became in power, he maintained contacts with his brothers.

Russian version

According to Russian theory (if it can be considered such), Stalin's father was a nobleman from Smolensk, and his name was Nikolai Przhevalsky. He traveled a lot and was a well-known scientist. In 1878, he fell seriously ill, because of what was on treatment in Gori, that in the Caucasus. Then Przhevalsky gets acquainted with one distant relative of the prince, her name is Catherine, who was ruined and was to marry an ordinary shoemaker Vissarion Dzhugashvili. He, in turn, was a fairly respected man, but in his family there was a grief that slightly overshadowed the entire existence of their couple. The fact is that they lost three very young children. Against this background, Vissarion began to drink a lot and often raised his hand to his wife. But even in spite of all the hardships of her life, Catherine was able to charm the scientist, who was so imbued with her beauty that she continued to send her money.

It is worth noting that this version, which should have shed light on the nationality of Stalin, is in fact quite vulnerable. I also want to add that it is not so much Russian as it may seem at first glance, since Przhevalsky has roots from Belarus.

It seemed that Stalin was well aware that the entire society was convinced of his illegal origin. Then the drunkenness of the father is explained to many. Most likely, he knew, but he simply could not accept it. So, in one of the drunken fights he was killed, but 11-year-old Soso did not feel any feelings about this.

A life

Of course, Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich was and remains a cult person. Despite the fact that his life is constantly being controversial, there are more and more questions in the biography than answers. His personality continues to generate many myths, in which biographers and researchers try to understand. You can even start from the birthplace of the dictator. According to some sources, the first record speaks of the city of Gori, although it is not ruled out that Stalin could well have been born near Batumi. Further - this famous blood relationship with his father and resemblance to the traveler Przhevalsky.

The number of disputes is also caused by the date of birth. Historians were able to find a book of accounting Gori Assumption Cathedral, in which the birth record was different from the date that is usually considered official. According to the old style, it was December 6, 1878, exactly the same number is found in the certificate of the end of the spiritual school.

Initially, all the official documents contained the true date of Stalin's birth, but in 1921, according to his personal order, in all documents these numbers were changed, and it was not 1878, but 1879, that began to indicate. According to political scientists, this was a forced measure to hide not only their noble origin, but illegitimacy.

Every year it is more and more difficult to explain why the biography specifies two birth dates, which nationality was Stalin and many other nuances from his life. Despite the fact that he himself surrounded himself with a certain aura of suspense, there was a small circle of people close to him who knew much about him. Probably, that's why they did not die by their own death and under mysterious circumstances.

Stalin's life is replete with a host of pseudonyms, of which there are a total of up to 30.

Governing body

The period of stay in the post of the first person of the state was marked by the time of a huge number of executions, collectivization and one of the most terrible wars that claimed a lot of human lives around the world. Naturally, the USSR for all should appear to be a country in which progress, harmony and devotion to its leader is developed.

Stalin's portraits were hung everywhere, and his era was the time of the most rapid economic development. Thanks to propaganda, absolutely all the beginnings of the "Father of the Peoples" were praised, especially this was relevant for the great infrastructure projects that were built very quickly, turning an agrarian country that was at its peak of backwardness into an industrial state. This was the main goal, but in order to achieve it, it was necessary to expand the production of agricultural products to meet the needs of the working class. Thus, collectivization has become an excellent solution for this. Private farmers literally took their lands and forced them to work at large state-owned agricultural enterprises.

The whole truth about the period of the leader's rule is still impossible to find. This is due to the fact that in fact, neither in the modern world, nor even more so during his life, publicly did not speak about it. The whole period of Stalin (while he was the head of state) is due not only to repression and a rigid dictatorship. It is possible to note with confidence a large number of positive nuances, which in many respects influenced today's formation of the Russian people:

• Work on conscience in order to benefit primarily the society.
• Victory of 1945.
• The merit of an engineer and an officer.
• Independent country.
• The innocence of high school girls.
• Moral.
• Mothers are heroines.
• Chastity of the media.
• Prohibited abortions.
• Open churches.
• Prohibitions on: Russophobia, pornography, corruption, prostitution, drug addiction and homosexuality.
• Patriotism.

Stalin's name is associated with his desire not only to unite, but subsequently to strengthen the country in the shortest possible time, and thanks to his energy and the will to win, no one had the impression that he was not able to translate his plans into reality.

A family

Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich very carefully concealed all the information about himself, his private life was not an exception. He very carefully destroyed all sorts of documents that one way or another spoke of his family and love affairs. Thus, the modern generation can present a far from complete picture, which consists of a small number of proven facts and testimonies of several eyewitnesses, whose stories are full of inaccuracies and inaccuracies.

Stalin's first wife, when he was only 26 years old, was Ekaterina (Kato) Svanidze. At that time he still did not have his weighty party nickname, nor the special "political weight" in the society, but in spite of this, he was already famous for his reputation as a well-off revolutionist who aspired to the universal idea of equality. But at the same time I want to add that even those bloody methods and means by which the goals were achieved, gave the Bolsheviks a certain flair of romanticism. So the famous pseudonym of Koba appeared. It was a literary hero of the type of Robin-Hood, who robbed the rich and distributed everything to the poor.

Kato was only 16 years old when they were married and began to live in a shabby room, which had virtually no means of livelihood. Her father was as revolutionary as Soso himself, so he was even happy about their marriage, because among the Caucasian fighters for freedom Koba already had sufficient authority. Despite the fact that through his hands almost every day there were huge funds, not a penny of them was not going to improve the family life and hearth.

Because of his intense revolutionary life, he almost did not appear at home, so most of his wife spent alone in solitude. In 1907, their common son appeared to the world, who was given the name of Yakov. Thus, the life of a poor woman becomes many times heavier, and she becomes sick with typhus. Since they did not have any extra money (because everything was spent for the needs of the party), she dies. As eyewitnesses say, Soso very strongly experienced the death of his beloved woman and began even with a double fury to fight with his enemies. Yakov, meanwhile, began to live with his parents, Kato, where he was before the age of 14 years.

Quite young Nadia Alliluyeva became the second beloved Soso. They sincerely loved each other, despite the fact that the display of tender feelings in those years, especially for such a fierce fighter for the revolution, was considered a weakness. So, already in 1921 the second son of Stalin, who was named Vasily, was born. At the same time he takes and Jacob. Thus, Koba finally acquires a full-fledged family. But again the old story repeats itself, when he has absolutely no time for some ordinary human joys on the road to revolution. In 1925 a small Svetlana appeared in the family.

About the relationship of spouses is known very little, a large number of puzzles remain and still, not only about their life together, but also about death.

It is worth noting that life with a man who is as difficult as Stalin, was inexplicably difficult. It is known that he could remain silent for three days, being in deep thought. Hope was difficult not only because her husband was a tyrant-she had no way of communicating. She did not have girlfriends, and men were just afraid to make friends with her, even as they were afraid of her husband's anger, who could think that his woman was being hustled and "shot." Hope needed ordinary, human, domestic, warm relations.

Suspicious death of his wife

On November 8, 1932, under strange circumstances, Nadezhda Alilueva, Stalin's wife, whose nationality can not be unequivocally affirmed, died, since her mother was a true German, and her father was half Roma. The official version said that there was a suicide, allegedly she independently committed a deadly shot in the head. As for the media report about the death of Hope, Stalin only allowed to say that she had suddenly left this world, but what was the reason for her death was not indicated.

Another point that deserves attention is Koba's attempts to write off everything that his wife died due to appendicitis, but two experts who came to the site (and, according to some sources, three), had to give an opinion on death, but refused to put His signature under such a document. Her death still causes a lot of controversy, and so at the moment there are several options for this incident.

Several versions of the death of his wife Stalin

At the time of death, Nadezhda was only 31 years old, and there are a lot of rumors about this. As for some conspiracy theories, it is worth noting a figure like Trotsky. He was at one time objectionable to the government and personally to Stalin, therefore through some Bukharin tried to exert emotional pressure on the wife of the leader. They tried to convince her that her husband was leading an aggressive policy, organizing intentional Holodomor in Ukraine, collectivization and mass executions. Trotsky thought that thanks to the political scandal that Nadezhda was supposed to organize, it was possible to overthrow Stalin without resorting to violence. Thus, his wife could go crazy and just shoot herself with information she could not take.

According to another version, at the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the October Revolution, during a banquet in the Kremlin, Stalin said something insulting to his wife, after which she defiantly left the table and went to her apartment, and then the servant heard a shot.

Has the right to life and the version, which confirmed the head of the guard Joseph Vissarionovich. According to his story, after the banquet Stalin did not go home, but went to one of his dachas and took with him the general's wife. Hope, in turn, was very worried and rang the security phone at home. The officer on duty confirmed that her husband was really there, and not alone, but with a woman. Thus, the wife, learning about this, could not survive the betrayal and committed suicide. Stalin never visited the grave of Hope.

The leader's mother

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, whose nationality and origin is shrouded in secrecy, and everything connected with his personal life, raises many questions. The relations between Stalin and his own mother were strange. There were many facts about this, and even the fact that he introduced her to his grandchildren only when the eldest turned 15. Ekaterina Georgievna had practically no education, she could not write, she spoke only Georgian. Stalin's mother, whose nationality was not controversial, was quite a sociable woman and she was never afraid to express her personal opinion on any occasion, even sometimes on political topics. She was not at all hampered by the lack of education. Some conclusions can be drawn from their correspondence, which is difficult to call letters, and most likely more notes. It is worth noting that, despite such a dryness of communication, it can not be said that the son did not care about his mother. She was under constant and close supervision of the best doctors, but despite this, due to age, her health did not get better. So, in May 1937, she contracted pneumonia, which caused her to die on July 4. The relationship was so bad that he could not even attend her funeral, but confined himself to a wreath with an inscription.

Death of the "Father of the Peoples"

It was in 1953. For a long time many people wanted Stalin's death. On March 1 he spent the whole day in his office, he did not look at important state mail and did not even dine. Without his permission, no one had the right to go to him, but at 11 pm one of the attendants went there at his own peril and risked a terrible picture before his eyes. Passing through several rooms, he saw Stalin lying on the floor and could not say a word. For several days the doctors fought for his life.

Thus, the year of Stalin's death was marked by contradictory opinions in the society. Some were glad that the days of the dictator and the tyrant came to their logical end. Some, on the contrary, considered the inner circle of the leader as traitors who, in one way or another, were implicated in his death.

You can not be 100% sure that the conspirators from the top of the Politburo are involved in his death. Judging by some of the memories of comrade Khrushchev himself and a number of close friends, the leader this year no longer had the opportunity to govern the state, he could see marasmus and paranoia, which meant the inexorable approach of death. Despite the fact that it is no longer there, Stalin's famous quotes, like "Shoot!" Or "No matter how voted - it's important, as counted", reached us. They will be relevant for a long time, because the period of life of the "Father of the Peoples" has forever entered into all the textbooks and has remained in the memory of many people.

Stalin: Russian man of Georgian nationality

In order to understand his personality, it is necessary to draw his conclusions solely on the basis of a few facts that are known from the direct speech of the leader himself. One thing can be said with certainty: Joseph Stalin, whose nationality can cause a lot of controversy, - the personality is rather ambiguous. But, anyway, his assessment will constantly have several elements of subjectivism, which is based on personal understanding of each world and Soviet history.

In the modern world, the nationality of Stalin can cause some controversy, this is all due to a certain halo of the mystery of his birth and origin, but, as the leader himself liked to say: "I'm not European, but Russian-ripe Georgian-Asian."
