Description: 1940 USSR Joseph Stalin Copper-Nickel 10 Kopecks NGC MS 65 Stalin claimed to have embraced Marxism at the age of 15,and it served as the guiding philosophy throughout his adult life according to Kotkin, Stalin held "zealous Marxist convictions", while Montefiore suggested that Marxism held a "quasi-religious" value for Stalin.Although he never became a Georgian nationalist,during his early life elements from Georgian nationalist thought blended with Marxism in his outlook.Stalin believed in the need to adapt Marxism to changing circumstances; in 1917, he declared that "there is dogmatic Marxism and there is creative Marxism. I stand on the ground of the latter".Volkogonov believed that Stalin's Marxism was shaped by his "dogmatic turn of mind", suggesting that this had been instilled in the Soviet leader during his education in religious institutions.[510] According to scholar Robert Service, Stalin's "few innovations in ideology were crude, dubious developments of Marxism". As a Marxist and an anti-capitalist, Stalin believed in an inevitable "class war" between the world's proletariat and bourgeoisie. He believed that the working classes would prove successful in this struggle and would establish a dictatorship of the proletariat, regarding the Soviet Union as an example of such a state.He also believed that this proletarian state would need to introduce repressive measures against foreign and domestic "enemies" to ensure the full crushing of the propertied classes, and thus the class war would intensify with the advance of socialism. As a propaganda tool, the shaming of "enemies" explained all inadequate economic and political outcomes, the hardships endured by the populace, and military failures. The 1940 USSR 10 Kopecks is a coin from the Soviet Union, minted during the era of Joseph Stalin's leadership. Struck in a copper-nickel alloy, this small coin was part of the Soviet Union's standard currency system and was used in everyday transactions across the vast Soviet territory. The obverse of the coin features the iconic emblem of the Soviet Union, with the hammer and sickle symbolizing the unity of workers and peasants, framed by a wreath of wheat ears and a rising sun in the background, representing the dawn of communism. The reverse side of the coin displays the denomination "10 Kopecks" and the year "1940" in simple, bold characters. The 1940 10 Kopecks coin is notable for its historical context, being produced just before the Soviet Union's involvement in World War II following the German invasion in 1941. This period was marked by intense industrialization and centralization under Stalin's regime, and the coin reflects the austere and utilitarian design typical of Soviet-era currency. Collectors value this coin not only for its material composition but also for its connection to a significant and turbulent period in 20th-century history.
