It would seem that so much has already been written and rewritten about him that it seems that nothing new can be learned. And yet, there are always some everyday trifles that somehow pass by the attention of researchers.

Everyone, for example, knows that Joseph Vissarionovich preferred tobacco "Herzegovina Flor" to all others. This is a detail. As Churchill cannot be imagined without a cigar, so Stalin - without a pipe. But I was interested in this question: what was the salary of Comrade Stalin? After all, it was not for free that he spent his energy for the good of the Party and the people?

As it turned out, in 1952, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's salary was 10 thousand Soviet rubles a month. From this salary comrade. Stalin regularly paid party dues.

And what is typical - apart from 10 thousand rubles a month, Joseph Vissarionovich had no other sources of income. Neither share of oil companies, nor deposits in foreign banks. That is why the people loved Comrade Stalin and formed legends about his simplicity.

Yes, if someone doubts that the above insert to the party card belonged to Comrade Stalin, I also publish a scan of the party card number 2 itself. And ticket number 1, as you probably guessed, belonged to Vladimir Ilyich.
