Instead Koba, as he is known, arrives in London for the 5th Congress of the Russian Communist Party where he--and many of his fellow Bolsheviks--are only allowed to remain as a nonvoting witness. But his inability to vote does not limit his ability to act, and Stalin quickly begins forging alliances with the likes of Lenin, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburg--and a vivacious Finnish activist named Elli Vuokko.
