was very protective of him because he was the last of the four
children that his mother had, but was the only one that survived
and so she always tried her best to keep him safe since she didnt
want to lose another child. Even though he was the only one to
survive, he had health problems. When Joseph Stalin was 7 years old

the rest of his life (which is why the people of Russia didnt trust
