Can someone recommend good works on understanding Stalin himself but also
how how he became a Bolshevik and how he was able to take power? Obviously a

A friend sent me this article recently: a scholarly account of Stalin's
organizing in Baku from 1907 to 1908. Stalin's stature in the Party was largely
based on the organizational work he had done in the decade prior to the October
revolution.

Glenn sent this to the list as an attachment, something that we filter

Marxmail website, however:
