    He mentioned a book by Simon Sebag Montefiore called Young Stalin, chronicling the life of the soon-to-be tyrant leader of Russia. In the first few pages, the author writes about Stalin using a team of 15 to rob the State Bank in Tiflis, Georgia. This was in 1907, in the midst of the Russian Revolution.

        one of the chapter:

        "The milkman" : was Stalin a Tsarist agent?

        it's a decent book, most of the book has a footnote about a person who knew stalin and how some years later they got purged when he was in power
