What happened to Stalin?
Oh wow, the death certificate might have stated “died of a stroke” but he was done in by both his closest advisers, as well as high elements of the GRU/KGB. Stalin had made many enemies on his way to the top, and had suffered some set backs in the political arena before his death. The Politburo wanted change. He was with his guards at his private villa (sleeping), who were asked to go outside when his “advisors” arrived. When they left, his men never went to check on his body, they knew what happened. An “official” Autopsy done, but the real cause was poison.
