Thank you Mush for the picture.
Here's Stalin writing something.
But he was also a great reader. His personal library which he would collect for his whole life included 20 th!!! books.
Each day he would try to read 300 pages of literature on various subjects - science, economics, history, and military affairs.
He was a heavy smoker. He used Caucasian tobacco 'Gertsegovina Flor' exclusively.
A pack of this cigarettes is in the picture. He would take a cigarette, break it and use tobacco for his famous black pipe.
