I know Anarchism or Socialism? is a bit more humorous, but yea, this is pretty much how his writings are! You can kind of put together why he was elected and widely supported, he was generally quiet, soft-spoken, but very skilled at getting people to speak up while gently prodding the conversation in productive directions, then coming to a clear conclusion.

Where Lenin was very often on the attack, with sharp critique and fiery rhetoric, Stalin was, contrary to his common depictions, reserved and collaborative in most occasions. His works on the National question and linguistics are similarly structured and written, same with Foundations of Leninism.
