decades, the question of whether Stalin was born, had a simple answer: "In 1879, on 21 December."And what about the place of the birth of the great dictator discrepancies are not anticipated.Stalin's birthplace - a Georgian town of Gori.Stalin himself pointed out this date, and in 1949 was celebrated the seventieth anniversary of the leader of all peoples.However, some evidence suggests that the year of birth in official sources indicated is not quite correct.
Discrepancies began in 1921.Even then, between the X and the XI Congress of the RCP (b), the party secretary was an extremely busy man.He looked modest oratory shone among the members of Lenin's guard.Kollontai, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Shlyapnikov and other sparkling eloquence solved, they thought, very important issues.Some struggled with the "Workers' Opposition", other fervently advocated in its support, and gray "sekretarishka" preparing to become a General.Position, seemingly unenviable, but let's take the opportunity to "concentrate immense power."And at this crucial moment some of the deputies, to fill in questionnaires Joseph Stalin, wrote in the "age" of the number 44. Probably a worker forgot where Stalin was born.It seems to be a trifle, a mistake, but it was corrected his own delegates to the congress on 42.
book entries Gori cathedral church contains information about birth 6 December 1878 in an Orthodox family and Catherine Gabrielovny Vissarion Ivanovich Dzhugashvili son, christened the 17th ofsame month, Joseph.On the day the difference is small, the new style is only three days.But what happened to the whole year of baby's life, which was to become the ruler of the Soviet empire?
question about when Stalin was born in the twenties to ask was not terrible, even to him.His official biographer, and asked to find a contradiction between the data in the metrics and personal questionnaires of the post-October period.The answer was no Stalinist vague.According to witnesses, Stalin smiled and said to have written the way they want, and in fact may simply wish to consult the documents, no matter what: compiled by hand or metric record.Moreover, the copy of an extract from the church books are kept in the Central Archives of the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik).
young Dzhugashvili IV graduated from Gori religious school, evidenced by an entry in the archive of the institution together with the questionnaires of all graduates.Here, too, Set in 1878, the date of the student's own written.
There is one more validation that date.Its value is that the document is not stored in Georgia and in Moscow, where historians have searched for the artifacts they need, and quite unexpectedly, in Saratov.The fact that Reverend Hermogenes, who served from 1901 to 1903 in the provincial town of Volsk vicar, was formerly rector of the seminary in Tiflis.He left behind a rich archive, which is one explanatory memorandum.Its author - Dzhugashvili I. And she proves that already in 1893, not in 1894, he entered the seminary in Tiflis.
So, in the official biography information about when Stalin was born, distorted.The fact that it is made with the knowledge and at the request of the secretary general, is beyond doubt.Only one question remains: why?After all, was not the man to be engaged in something just like that.
pseudohistorians perestroika era, fulfilling the social order and way of fabricating a foolish and ignorant Stalin kills true Bolshevik-Leninists for fun, head for a long time does not break.They imagined that one of the greatest dictators in human history behaved like a capricious lady in a critical age, and trying to look younger.Another explanation was that this act was just a small scam.Difficult to accept that Stalin only played with high stakes.
In fact, the origin of the date of December 9, 1879 is explained simply.Soviet documents after the October Revolution were issued on the basis of the passport with double-headed eagle on the cover.Stalin it was a fake, like many underground, and it was listed in 1879 was born.Surnames he had many, but it is this reflected what seemed to him, the essence of the revolutionary will of inflexibility.Rather, she just liked him, and he ceased to be Dzhugashvili, Stalin turned into, which itself, according to people who knew him well, called in the third person "he".Stalin adopted a new image, a part of which was and date of birth.
