This is also a good introductory book to the philosophical concepts of Marxism, such as dialectical and historical materialism.

@Radical_EgoCom @Jyoti Don't know nothing about English translation, but I strongly suggest Sève, L. (1980), Une introduction à la philosophie marxiste: Suivie d’un vocabulaire philosophique (An introduction to Marxist philosophy: Followed by a philosophical vocabulary), Éditions sociales
Stalin was not an ideologist or a deep thinker.
@Radical_EgoCom @Jyoti I am not against reading Stalin's books, just as I am against the ritual total condemnation of Stalin (so pleasing to the ears of all opponents of socialism/communism). However (and I have a philosophical education and have been dealing with Marxism for over 20 years) I claim that there are better works and more intellectually profound, better allowing us to understand the world around us and more encouraging to study Marxist works.
