The incorrect book. Note that his father only died in 1909 of liver issues. Jughashvili was upset when he learned that Keke had enrolled Ioseb in school, instead hoping his son would follow his path and become a cobbler. This led to a major incident in January 1890. Ioseb had been struck by a phaeton, severely injuring him. Ioseb is the former name of Stalin.

      At the time I made the post, the article on Stalin was protected due to vandalism.

      I think they are saying that stalin was in an accident as a kid, and some other entity cited this incident so incorrectly as to claim that his father died in a pub fight. Which became the commonly understood “fact.”

      I think.
