Stalin’s revolutionary activity began in the early 1900s – the future ruler of the USSR then engaged in active propaganda, thus strengthening his position in society. Then he gets acquainted with the head of the Soviet government, Vladimir Lenin and other famous revolutionaries. The path to power of Joseph Vissarionovich was saturated with numerous references and imprisonments, from where he always managed to escape. In 1912, he finally decided to change his name Dzhugashvili to the pseudonym “Stalin”.

In the same period he became the editor-in-chief of the Bolshevik newspaper Pravda, where his colleague was Vladimir Lenin, who saw Stalin as his assistant in resolving Bolshevik and revolutionary questions, as a result of which Joseph Vissarionovich became his right-hand man.
