Talk:Josif Stalin
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
[edit] 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 (Josif=18,000 hits[1], Joseph=863,000[2], with Josef in between).

what rubbish: "He also made a famine in Ukraine, and many people died."
[edit] ?
Why have some of my edits been reverted? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't thousands. He put millions to death. You would think that a native Russian would know what he's talking about, yes?
