Cool, thank you so much! That’s all really interesting. And, yeah, didn’t mean to ask about Stalin’s own religious beliefs, if any, but more like his thought or actions generally. It would make sense to me that Stalin had a soft spot for religion though given his studies, but I’m projecting.

Hmm not to my knowledge besides various apocryphals. Dude was absurdly busy with running the government on top of his own personal projects, his reading, his job socializing obligations, his drinking and cinema watching, and his family. Only thing I’d say was a real remnant of his religious-priestly education of his youth was his absolute voracious appetite for reading and learning.
Yeah, that’s a shame, I would love to read his critique of religion. I’m sure it would be really beautiful and dialectical. Same as I’m sure his beliefs were.
Indeed. Maybe if he had a few more years to decompress and write whatever he liked he mightve decided to write on something other than exclusively economics.
