Provenance. The document was obtained in Moscow in 2018 from a collector whose name was mentioned in several publications in press and books. No certificate of authenticity was included with this item, but such certificates were provided for several other historically significant items in his possession. He explained that in Russia, no one certifies documents bearing Stalin's signature, as they must all be kept in state archives. However, Stalin signed extensively throughout his life, so some documents are believed to be held in private collections yet.
Happy buying!
