On March 1, 1953, after an all-night dinner with interior minister Lavrenty Beria and future premiers Georgi Malenkov, Nikolai Bulganin and Nikita Khrushchev, Stalin did not emerge from his room the next day, having probably suffered a stroke that paralyzed the right side of his body.
Although his guards thought that it was odd for him not to rise at his usual time, they were under orders not to disturb him. He was not discovered until that evening. He died four days later, on March 5, 1953, at the age of 74, and was buried on March 9.

Well I don't recall Russians to have any reason to care about the "gruzin" anymore, they plunder the south ocetian people for shit that happened sooooo long time ago, the gruzin have their own goverment, they can take care of their own shit rather than whine and trashtalk about Russia (BUT NOT TODAYS RUSSIA, The russia hundreds years ago but lets stick it up their asses anyway). Oh and please don't inform me about the tatjik shit, I'm sick of it already.

Fuck stalin!

Stalin consolidated his power and completely bypassed the constitution personally signing execution documents. The famine took place mainly because Stalin sold vast amounts of produce to other countries for profit without feeding his own population, to blame the kulaks is laughable. Even more laughable is your defense of Stalin, its like trying to defend Vlad the Impaler

... but Stalin after knowing that innocent member of the military, including Generals were innocently imprisoned, released them and changed those who were in charge of the NKVD, blaming Stalin for many of the wrongdoings of the USSR is wrong, since he did not have absolute power as many people would like to believe.

[77Edgar777]

First of all Stalin did not have the power to execute anyone or to imprison anyone, to blame those who were executed or sent to the gulags is ridiculous, read the Soviet Constituion, the any person you can blame on Stalin would be Trotsky, and the famine did not occurred thanks to Stalin but the kulaks and poor weather of Ukraine and the fact the starvation was common when the Tsar was in power, after the 1945, there weren't any famines, and about the Military, he was not a great military leader

Why do you amuse I admire either of them? Stalin allowed millions to die of famine and killed hundred of thousands of 'wreckers' the internal enemy. He wiped out entire families arbitrarily, and after purging the elite and military (the vast majority completely innocent and loyal) he stupidly left Russia vulnerable to the Germans. He disgraced the idea of communism by making himself the 'red tsar' almost godlike. This man was a monster and all that he tried to create burnt to ashes.
