Stalin born in 1879 came from a poor background. His father was a cobbler and his mother a peasant. His real surname was Djugasvili. He had won many scholarships when he was being trained in a college of priests. Between 1902 and 1913 he was arrested 8 times and exiled to Siberia. He escaped 7 times. In prison he adopted the name Stalin which translated as "Man of Steel".When Stalin became the leader of Russia in 1929, he realised that Russia was far behind the west. He wanted to modernise Russian economy and modernise Russian farmers by providing them the tractors.
Stalin remained in power until his death in 1953.
The story goes that as head of the soviet state, Stalin one day reported, to the Russian police about the loss of his costly watch from his bed room. About half an hour later, however, he found the watch in the bath room. Stalin then called up the chief of the Russian police and asked him to drop the case and the ninvestigations.
“It is too late Sir,” replied the police chief. “We cannot close the case now. We have already arrested five persons in this connection and three of them have even confessed to stealing your watch.”
