Joseph Stalin Height
Joseph Stalin's height is 5 ft 6 in (168 cm)

Infamous Russian Leader. President Truman's white house physician, Wallace H Graham, said in 1989 (trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/grahamw.htm): "Before I met him, I had thought he was a large man. I thought he would be a great big huge person, but no, he wasn't at all. He and Hitler were about the same height, approximately five feet, eight. I saw Hitler many, many times, and Goering and Goebbels. Stalin was a broad fellow, with a very heavily pock-marked face"

Stalin has also been described as 5ft 4,5,6...

5ft 9 Harry Truman, Winston Churchill (5ft 6-7) and Stalin in a picture and another one. Stalin was in his mid 60's by then, so he could 'look' 5ft 6-7. The more I've read about this guy, the more mentions of dodgy shoes seem to pop up. History though can be twisted to suit needs, in photos he may have had elevator shoes but who is to know? I am leaving him now 5ft 6...

Stalin was using elevator shoes and I think his height was 165-170 cm.

Joseph Goebbels was 5 feet, 4.2 inches. I took all the measurements in 27 different websites and did the median, and this is what I came up with. Anyone who does not believe me is...CRAZY!!!! BOO YAH!

I've also read in the newspaper Goebbels was 164cm and that he had major sexual appetite for women in their mid 30s. he was perverted in many ways.

Stalin didn't look short. He always looked around 5ft8. The photo of him with Lenin was never really taken so that makes it useless.

How can you conclude 168 cm, when all historical records suggest somewhere between 172 & 175? That's a mystery to me! I may add yet another personal anecdote: One of my (late) granddad's friends had been a convinced communist in the thirties & fourties, and been to Moscow.. I remember him some 25 years ago saying something like "He (Stalin) was about my built with a scared face..." My granddads (now late)friend was about 173-75 & heaviely built...

I looked at a lot of video clips of him and he never looks short, sometimes a little tallish, sometimes shortish, but always average. Lenin for a fact was 5'5, and he was noticeably shorter than everyone around him. Plus there's a record of Stalin being 174cm in his youth, and Truman said he was 5'8. I think it's pathetic and rude to short people to put stalin at 5'6.
