what is the source for this?

one doubts that such a photo of young Stalin exists, given the poverty in which the dictator grew up.

School class picture, the priest that let Stalin and his mom stay with him to get away from Stalin's abusive dad faked a story about who Stalin's dad was so he could get in to a free school for children of church officials.
