According to historians, the leader’s childhood was not joyful and cloudless. Frequent clarification of the relationship of the parents, accompanied by beatings of the mother by the non-drying father, could not pass without a trace and not affect the growing boy. To suppress a sense of helplessness in front of a strong male fist, the mother was looking for an emotional way out on the future leader, therefore, what beatings and ill-treatment were, Stalin learned in childhood.
