When Stalin was younger his mother 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 he got smallpox and even though he his face remained scarred for the rest of his life (which is why the people of Russia didnt trust him in the beginning and instead wanted Trotsky, a handsome war hero).Stalins father made boots and his mother was a washer and as a child Stalin, like every other peasant in Russia during the 19th century faced poverty.
