Joseph Stalin is the greatest personality of the 20th century, the “father of peoples” or a traitor, a great ruler or a man who organized the genocide of his own people. Historians and contemporaries cannot give an unambiguous assessment of the reign of this man who died only because his subordinates were afraid to help him.
Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, who took the pseudonym Stalin during the revolutionary years, was born on December 21, 1879 in Georgia. In the twenties of the 20th century, he led the party of the Central Committee and established a totalitarian regime in the camp.
Many consider him a dictator and a cruel person, but it cannot be discounted that it was Stalin who led the USSR to victory in World War II, helped the country to withstand and restore its former greatness after it.
Disease
The first attack occurred in Stalin in 1953, the first of March. On this day, the leader was found unconscious at the dacha in Kuntsevo - his official residence in the postwar years. The frightened personal doctor for a long time could not admit that the leader had a stroke, but on the second of March he diagnosed and recognized paralysis of the right side of the body.
That day he did not get up, only occasionally raised his left hand, as if asking for help, but all the help did not come. A number of historians are inclined to believe that not only fear interfered with helping Stalin. Khrushchev, Beria, Malenkov - all of them were interested in the speedy death of the leader.
