Joseph Stalin is one of the most controversial personalities in Russian history. Some consider him a bloody executioner, others - a brilliant leader. While the party leaders of the Leninist era did not have a high opinion of Stalin, people who communicated with him in an informal setting, after his death spoke of him as a pleasant, versatile and highly educated interlocutor. This review contains rare photographs in which Iosif Vissarionovich was captured in a circle of colleagues, friends and family.
