    Biographical data on Joseph S

    Source

    Born 12/18/1878. Although there is an inconsistency among published sources about Stalin's
    year and date of birth, Iosif Dzhugashvili is found in the records of the Uspensky Church in Gori,
    Georgia as born on December 18 (Old Style: December 6) 1878. This birth date is maintained in
    his School Leaving Certificate, his extensive tsarist Russia police file, a police arrest record from
    18 April 1902 which gave his age as 23 years, and all other surviving pre-revolution documents.
    Stalin himself listed December 18, 1878 in a curriculum vitae as late as 1921, in his own
    handwriting. However, after his coming to power in 1922, the date was changed to December 21,
    1879 (December 9, Old Style), and that was the day his birthday was celebrated in the Soviet
    Union. Russian playwright Edvard Radzinsky argues in his book Stalin that he changed the year
    to 1879 to have a nation-wide birthday celebration of his 50th birthday. He could not do it in
    1928 because his rule was not absolute enough. [1]

    Became General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party in 1922

    Stalin replaced the New Economic Policy (NEP) of the 1920s with Five-Year Plans in
    1928

    He adopted the name Stalin, which is derived from the Russian stal’ (Russian: сталь) for "steel",
    in 1913

    Stalin's mother Keke was born a serf.

    His father Beso was a cobbler who owned his own shop

    At around the time he started school, Stalin was struck by a horse-drawn carriage. The
    accident permanently damaged his left arm; this injury would later exempt him from
    military service in World War I.

    He was their third child; their two previous sons died in infancy

    The second and third toes of his left foot were webbed.

    Stalin's family moved homes frequently; at least nine times in Stalin's first ten years of life

    At the age of 7, Stalin fell ill with smallpox and his face was badly scarred by the disease
    At the age of 10, Stalin began his education at the Gori Church School

    At around the time he started school, Stalin was struck by a horse-drawn carriage. The
    accident permanently damaged his left arm; this injury would later exempt him from
    military service in World War I.

    He became a very good choir singer, and was often hired to sing at weddings

    In 1913, Stalin published Marxism and the National Question

    Later in 1913, Stalin was sent into penal exile for a third time. This time he did not
    escape so quickly, and lived for the next four years in a small hamlet on the Yenisei
    River. While there he began a 2-year affair with Lidia Pereprygina, then aged 13, with
    whom he fathered two children
