Fun fact: Joseph Stalin first became known to Lenin when he organized the successful robbery of a bank stagecoach in Russia. The stagecoaches were heavily protected by armed men riding on the outside of the coach as well as riding horses alongside, but Stalin observed that they tended to relax their guard upon reaching a densely-populated city, on the assumption that revolutionaries would not be willing to injure or kill innocent bystanders.
This assumption was very wrong in Stalin's case. He had his people lob satchel bombs at the coach and riders after they reached the city, killing most of the guards as well as nearly 100 innocent bystanders in the vicinity. They made off with a huge amount of money, and Lenin congratulated Stalin although he had only planned the operation and not participated in it. The importance of delegation!
Huh, who knew that violent bank robbers who indiscriminately kill bystanders would ~~do a bunch of genocide after their violent takeover complete with secret police and gulags~~ I mean create the best goverbmont in history, praise USSR or something.
Tbilisi bank robbery
Bonus fun fact: part of the reason for their success might be that one of the local police informants was … Stalin.
I'm starting to think this Stalin guy has some red flags.
