== Josif Stalin ==

His actual first name is not Josef nor Joseph. It is russian version of these 2; Josif.
:That may be his [[Russian language]] name (or more accurately the Russian translation of his [[Georgian language]] name), but ''this is an [[English language]] Wikipedia''. According to [[en:Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)]] it should be at the most commonly used name in the English language, which is ''[[Joseph Stalin]], like it is on EN [[en:Joseph Stalin]](contracted; show full)ated the Politburo by 1929 and visibly took all decisions by himself which is certainly not the case. The Politburo was retained but, by 1929, was composed almost entirely of people who Stalin had groomed and who he knew would not oppose him. However, even then, one rival, Kirov, emerged so Stalin had him assassinated in 1934, as detailed in Robert Conquest's book The Kirov Murder.

<s>== Sabotage ==
This article appears to have been sabotaged.  E.g., the article says "Stalin invaded Poland on 18 September 1939. In the subsequent World War II, Stalin stayed neutral but signed a deal of peace with Germany's leader Adolf Hitler." This is very misleading.  

1) Stalin was in no way "neutral" after attacking Poland.  Stalin occupied Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia in June 1940.  Stalin entered into the "German-Soviet Commercial Agreement" (also known as "Economic Agreement of February 11, 1940") with Hitler, where Stalin sent raw materials to the German war industry and got some of the produced weapons back as payment.  

2)  "Deal of peace" is a very misleading expression to be used for the Molotow-Ribbentrop agreement.  This was an agreement where Hitler and Stalin agreed not to attack each other.  Further, an addendum to this agreement was about how Hitler and Stalin should share Europe between them.  This way the two dictators could attack various other countries.  Hitler occupied countries in Western Europe and USSR occupied countries in Eastern Europe according to the addendum to the Molotow-Ribbentrop agreeement.  

3) The Molotow-Ribbentrop agreement was signed BEFORE the Nazi/USSR attack on Poland, not after as the article implies.  

It is very sad that a Wikipedia article is so heavily sabotaged.

wrong, js attacked poland and date is wrong here, as usual, it's wikistupidia, it is the norm to have everything wrong on this "encyclopedia"!!!⏎
