Stalin visited his mother very rarely after the Revolution. Beria took responsibility for her care. N. Kipshidze, a doctor who treated Keke in her old age, recalled that Stalin asked his mother at this meeting: “Why did you beat me so hard?” “That’s why you turned out so well”, Keke answered. In return, his mother asked him: “Joseph – who exactly are you now?” “Do you remember the tsar? Well, I’m like a tsar”, replied Stalin. “You’d have done better to have become a priest” was his mother’s retort. She died on June 4, 1937. - Source
