	Folk hero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the lives of folk heroes are generally not based on historical documents, the characteristics and deeds of a folk hero are often exaggerated to mythic proportions.
		The folk hero often begins life as a normal person, but is transformed into someone extraordinary by significant life events, often in response to social injustice, and sometimes in response to natural disasters.
		Koba (folk hero) - Georgian folk hero whose legend bears a resemblance to Robin Hood.

	Joseph Stalin
		Josif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (December 21, 1879 - March 5, 1953), better known as Joseph Stalin (Iosef Stalin in an alternative transliteration) was the second leader of the Soviet Union.
		He was also known as Koba (also Georgian folk hero; see: Koba[?]).
		Born in Gori[?], Georgia to illiterate peasant parents (who had been serfs at birth), his harsh spirit has been blamed on severe beatings by his father, inspiring vengeful feelings towards anyone in a position to wield power over him (perhaps also a reason he became a revolutionary).

		He lived and wrote under a succession of pseudonyms, of which his favorites were Koba (the name of a legendary Georgian folk hero meaning "The Indomitable) and, after 1913, Stalin ("The Man of Steel).
		In 1921, Lenin and the party leadership suppressed criticism within the party against bureaucratization and party centralism, and ruthlessly crushed open revolt by the peasants, workers, and sailors, coupling these harsh measures in politics with a sweeping retreat on the economic and social front.
		The USSR's heroic revolutionary age was over, and from 1921 to 1928 the regime plunged into the more mundane task of running the country from day to day.

	\| Stalin, Man of the Borderlands \| The American Historical Review, 106.5 \| The History Cooperative
		Chavchavadze's famous poem "The Bandit Kako," in which the hero took blood revenge for his father's death by killing the guilty landowner, was, according to one of the sources in Molodaia Gvardiia, the most beloved poem of the schoolboys in Stalin's hometown.
		For Stalin, the Koba image of a solitary and vengeful hero triumphed over the natural and spiritual kinship system he had constructed to protect himself against the no man's land of the outer world that then engulfed him.
		The new pseudonym referred to all three frames of his identity: the Georgian hero Koba and thus the heroic attributes of Georgian heroes, the hard proletarian symbolized by the root word steel, and the Russian form of the name with its "in" suffix.

		The song's author, Vuyisile Mini, emerges as a Che Guevara-esque figure in the resistance, a martyred folk hero who "went to the gallows singing." The film opens with footage of soldiers digging up Mini's unmarked grave, to literally reclaim his bones for the liberated nation and give him a proper burial.

		The masses could be aroused to this uprising only under the banner of their own interests; hence, in the spirit of unreconcilable hostility toward the exploiting classes, and first of all, the landlords.
		But it would be utterly useless to look for an independent contribution of Koba's on that question, be it an analysis of social relations in the Caucasus or new arguments, or even so much as a new formulation of old arguments.
		In view of the significance it subsequently acquired in the intellectual evolution of the hero of this biography, it is necessary to present it here in the form of exact quotations from my works of the years 1905 and 1906.

		The laconic Koba had left a great number of marginal notes in his books, and these jottings offer a curious way into the Great Conspirator's private thoughts.
		These off-the-cuff reactions are scarcely surprising: it was obvious that Stalin would defend the Bolshevik terror, launched under the leadership of Lenin and Trotsky, and even more obvious that he would stroke his cockroach whiskers and chuckle knowingly at the renegade Kautsky's lack of appetite for blood.
		On a European tour in the Twenties he had been especially impressed by the American band of Ted ('Is everybody happy?') Lewis, as well as by the famous British band led by Jack Hylton ' light, happy, swinging big-band jazz, now given a Russian accent.

		The Bandys, the Ketchums, the Wallins, are woven together by marriage and births like the tobacco baskets, broad and firm and white, hundred-year old clans of soil and nicotine, pocket knives and Saturday nights at the Masonic dance hall.
		Who among them ran and hid with Koba, the revolutionary with a nickname taken from the hero in a Georgian novel, a wanted man by nineteen who led an armed robbery in 1907 against a Cossack patrol escorting a money shipment and got away with 300,000 rubles for the Bolsheviks?
		Out of the gramophone bell emerges a scratchy ditty, a balalaika plucks a fast-paced folk melody along with a clarinet, drums and a wailing violin.
