$12 something in today's currency. Dirtbag leftist?
Concidering how in his youth he survived by essentially couch surfing and selling poetry, I'd say most likely yeah
Didn't he also rob banks? Plus Stalin was a hot as fuck poet
He robbed banks, money convoys, by God he even robbed an Imperial ship. Apparently he sent most of the money to the party after paying his posse and keeping enough to live on till the next heist.
He was a goddamn Communist Pirate lmao.
They could make ten movies about the guy instead of marvel shit
I think a trilogy would be the perfect amount. A tenner would probably be perfect for explaining the rise of the Soviet Union and the historical context it found itself in.
Like the historical show "Fall of the Eagles" ( the one with :patrick-lenin: in it) but with better budget and materials to teach folks how fucking shit the empires of Europe were
And the worst part is that they can't write an original movie in hollywood to save their lives and they can't or won't use any of this actually cool history for a script so they just make endless bad sequels
Lenin's trainride back to Petrograd, but it's Die Hard.
I wanna see the one about robbing the war ship
In other news Hitler owned an estimated fortune of five billion dollars.
Figures. Socialists love to claim they're workers and yet here they are owning billions. We all know that nazis were socialists, it's literally in the name, but the liberals will never admit this 😤
Funny how the "it's literally in the name!" Bit is never used on the national- part. It's always "you can't compare is to the nazis just because we're nationalists! We're totally different, trust me bro!"
I know when I was a reactionary I liked the national part of national socialism, I always thought of the nazis as misguided patriots who wanted the best for germany but were done dirty by the evil russians and americans. Honestly surprised I didn't end up becoming nazbol when I did my leftward shift.
Probably because being a nazbol is still a meme ideology mask for fascism lol.
Accounting for inflation it’s more like 150 bucks which is still a pretty modest amount to have in a savings account. That’s basing it on US inflation though, I imagine the inflation and purchasing power in Russia is much higher considering the turbulent economy of the 90’s.
Comrade Stalin can't even lend me $100 he's so broke.
Comrade Stalin would definitely be the friend that never orders ubereats and instead just walks to the restaurant to pick up the food. I am also that friend
Comrade Stalin would definitely give you any money he could tho

I used this and 900 RUB in '61 would be worth about $2000 to $6000 USD in 2015. $2500 for purchasing power, $5000 in silver standard and $11k in gold standard.
Equivalent to about 260 hours of labor.
Average monthly salary in Soviet Union in 1953 was 684 rubles.
