Hän ei hyväksynyt ylennystään Neuvostoliiton marsalkasta generalissimukseksi. Eikö tämä tarkoita että hän oli vaatimaton mies?!

Projected shoulder boards for the rank. Stalin wore the shoulder marks of the Marshal of the Soviet Union instead.Generalissimus of the Soviet Union was a proposed military rank created on June 27, 1945, following the tradition of the Imperial Russian Army. It was granted to Joseph Stalin following World War II; however, Stalin refused to officially approve the rank. It would have been the highest military rank in the Soviet Union.

Overview[edit]This military rank was specificially created for Joseph Stalin. However, according to Stalin biographer Robert Service, Stalin regretted allowing himself the ostentatious military title, and asked Winston Churchill to continue to refer to him as a marshal instead.[1] Stalin also rejected any kind of distinctions between his military rank and the other Soviet marshals, and kept using the original Marshal of the Soviet Union insignia and uniform like the other Soviet Marshals.[2]
The matter about Generalissimus of the Soviet Union was mentioned again after the war, when a draft of a decree about the Soviet military ranks was presented to Stalin. Then, Lieutenant Khruliev – director of the General Department of Logistics – was given the task to design the uniform of the Soviet Generalissimus for Stalin to use in the victory parade on 9 May 1947. The uniform was finished and presented to Stalin one week before the parade.
However, after examining it, Stalin again expressed dissatisfaction. Then he took hold of the decree about the Generalissimus rank and declared: "I will never sign this decree. The Soviet Red Army only has Marshal as its highest rank". Thus, the subject of new rank would never be raised again.[3]
The insignia for the North Korean rank of Dae Wonsu is heavily influenced by the Generalissimus insignia designed for, but never actually used by, Stalin. An equivalent rank with similar insignia, Da Yuan Shuai, was also considered, probably for Mao Zedong, in the, early years of the People's Republic of China, but was never conferred."

Taas typdrä avaus työttömältä sairaseläkeläiseltä.
"Stalin ei ollutkaan generalissimus! "
Miten olisi voinutkaan olla. Olisihan se ollut outoa olla yhtä aikaa neitsyt ja generalissimus. Outoa kuin käsidesi kaatopaikalla.
Stalin olisi kyllä ansainnut generalissimuksen sotilasarvon koska oli Neuvostoliiton asevoimien ylipäällikkönä johtanut maansa voittoon. Stalin oli kuitenkin vaatimaton mies, hän tahtoi olla vain marsalkka.
Vaatimaton oli. Piti polvet tiukasti yhdessä.
Vaatimaton ukkeli se oli. Ruoto oli lyhyt mutta patsaat ja puheet suuria. Kyllähän Putinillekin varmaan ihan raamatun mitoissa patsaita joskus väsätään.
