Relations with Stalin

From the beginning of our century until the end of 1907, Mohammad Amin Rasulzadeh met I.Stalin, who was involved in revolutionary activities in Baku. According to Muhammad Amin Rasulzade's series of memoirs entitled "Revolution with Stalin " published in Istanbul newspaper "Dunya", as early as 1905, rich people in the Balakhani oil fields wanted to throw Stalin into the oil well because he invited the workers to go on strike, but Muhammad Amin Rasulzade saved him from death and he , was also the organizer of Stalin's abduction from Bayil prison by the Musavats.
