another piece of history in, another childhood memory out.....

[musclehead]

who is Josip Dzhugashvili? never heard of him before I read a story about Stalin, actually he is Stalin.

Stalin is a made up name he created for the revolution, stal = steel and lin = Lenin

he may have killed 20 million of his countrymen through policy and purges, he personally signed 40,000 death warrants. cruel and sadistic, insecure and half mad he was the most feared man in Russia from 1922 to 1953. he was in constant fear of a military coup, so he had most of his generals killed or exiled. when Hitler invaded Russia was 'unprepared' (ok that is an understatement) and they were overran.

Lenin warned those around him NOT to let Stalin get into power, didn't work and millions died.

He may not have coined the term-bad man-but he sure as $hit refined it. Slow day in the truck?? RIDE SAFE.
