Born Joseph Stalin Vissarionovich (real name Djugashvili) December 21, 1879 in the Georgian town of Gori in a family belonging to the lowest estate. He was the third, but the only surviving child in the family – his older brother and sister died in infancy. Soso, as the mother of the future ruler of the USSR called, was born not an entirely healthy child, he had birth defects of limbs (he had two fingers on his left leg), and also had damaged skin of the face and back. At the age of seven, an accident happened to Stalin – he was hit by a phaeton, as a result of which his left hand was broken.
In addition to congenital and acquired injuries, the future revolutionary was repeatedly beaten by his father Vissarion, which once led to a serious head injury and over the years affected the psycho-emotional state of Stalin. The mother of Joseph Vissarionovich, Ekaterina Georgievna, surrounded her son with immense care and care, wishing to compensate the boy for the missing love of his father. Being exhausted by the hard work, with the aim of earning as much money as possible to raise her son, the woman did her best to raise a worthy person who, in her opinion, was to become a priest. But her hopes were not crowned with success – Stalin grew up as a street darling and spent more time not in the church, but in the company of local hooligans.
At the same time inВ 1888, Joseph Vissarionovich became aВ student ofВ the Gori Orthodox School, and at the end he entered the Tiflis Theological Seminary. It was within the walls ofВ the seminary that he became acquainted with Marxism and joined the ranks ofВ underground revolutionaries. InВ the seminary, the future ruler ofВ the Soviet Union proved toВ be aВ gifted and talented student, as he was easily given all subjects without exception. Then he became the head ofВ the illegal circle ofВ Marxists, inВ which he was actively engaged inВ propaganda activities.
Stalin did not succeed inВ graduating from the seminary, since he was expelled from the school just before the exams for absenteeism. After that, Vissarionovich was given aВ certificate, which allows him toВ become aВ teacher ofВ primary schools. At first he earned his living byВ tutoring, and after that he settled inВ the Tiflis Physical Observatory as observer-observer.
