The one thing on this article I want to comment on is the situation with Papismedov. I would say that most Jews are very unlikely to be generous people, from my studies as well as my experience. But since Jews weren't very common in Georgia, we don't know what kind of cultural and social influences and motivations were working on him. But I would say that there are many possibilities as to why Papismedov treated Stalin and his mother well, which do not include Stalin being the illegitamate child of Papismedov. I won't bother going through various examples and possibilites, but it's possible there was some other kind of relationship between Papismedov and Stalin's mother (besides what was mentioned in the article) that would cause the whole thing, and Joseph Stalin was the son of the mother, so the relation there would lead to Stalin as child being treated well too.
