Was Joseph Stalin a product of his environment or was he born like that? I believe it was nurture, not nature that influenced the kind of leader he became. Joseph Stalin was born on December 18, 1878 and had a horrible childhood. His father was an alcoholic and beat him. Stalin also had smallpox as a child and it left him with bad scarring on his face. His environment definitely influenced his environment. 
“I believe in only one thing,the power of human will.”
― Joseph Stalin
