    Crazy story about Joey Stalin. While working underground for the Bolsheviks, he was arrested and sent to the gulags repeatedly. He escaped from the Tsarist-era Gulags four different times before the Russian government fell in 1917.

    Going from career criminal to the Soviet Era head of the police was one hell of a heel turn.
