One story is that Stalin was known for his firm leadership. Once, during a meeting, his pipe went out. Without missing a beat, he gestured to a nearby comrade to relight it. The way he nonchalantly did this in the middle of serious discussions showed his unique presence.
There was a time when Stalin received an unexpected visitor who was very nervous. Stalin's calm and direct manner put the visitor at ease. He asked simple yet incisive questions. His ability to handle such situations with a certain humor in his own way was quite interesting. For example, he might make a dry joke about the formalities of the visit which made the atmosphere less tense.
Stalin was also said to have a sense of humor in his interactions with his generals. He would sometimes tease them about their over - cautious battle plans. He believed in bold moves and would nudge them in a humorous way to be more adventurous, like saying something along the lines of 'Are we going to tiptoe around the enemy like mice or roar like lions?' which was his way of getting them to be more assertive in military strategies.
Stalin was once at a military parade. A young soldier got overly excited and accidentally saluted in a very exaggerated way. Instead of getting angry, Stalin chuckled and said something to the effect of 'That's the kind of enthusiasm we need, but maybe a bit more controlled next time'. His reaction was a pleasant surprise to those around him as it was a departure from his usually stern image.
