As far as I know, Josef S wasn't born "Stalin". No doubt Emile knows...

If so, who knows, maybe Old Joe picked his name from Sweden?


No, that was his real name:

"Joseph Stalin, was born in Gori, Georgia on 21st December, 1879. He was his mother's fourth child to be born in less than four years. The first three died and as Joseph was prone to bad health, his mother feared on several occasions that he would also die. Understandably, given this background, Joseph's mother was very protective towards him as a child."
