Note about Joseph Stalin's birthday:
The confusion arises because Joseph Stalin's official birthdate is December 18, 1878, but some older Soviet records and sources have listed December 21, 1879, as his birthdate.
Why the Discrepancy?
- Stalin himself used December 21, 1879, later in life, and it was the date officially recognized in the Soviet Union during his rule.
- Historical records, including church documents from Gori, Georgia, confirm that he was actually born on December 18, 1878.
So, while December 18, 1878, is historically accurate, December 21, 1879, was used in official Soviet documents.
