Stalin and the Bank Robbery
Stalin, along with other revolutionaries, organized a bank robbery in Tiflis (now Tbilisi) in 1907. The group planned the heist for several months and executed it with around 20 members. During the robbery, homemade explosives were thrown, money was taken, and chaos ensued. Although some mistakes were made, the group managed to escape. One member, Kamo, dressed as an army commander to mislead the authorities. Despite being captured later, Kamo continued to rob banks and was known as the 'Caucasian Robin Hood.' The heist highlighted the resourcefulness and determination of the early revolutionaries.
