On March 5, 1953, the great leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, died after a stormy period, however, his death raised a series of doubts. At Stalin's funeral, his son Vasily claimed that Stalin had been murdered to death. This statement caused an uproar in the international community. Considering Stalin's strong will during his lifetime, could such a mighty leader really be plotted?
Stalin was born on December 18, 1878, into a family of shoemakers, and the misfortunes of his childhood honed his iron will. In 1924, Lenin died, and Stalin became the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, holding the rule of the country. His tenacious determination and political savvy brought the Soviet Union to prominence in the war, but after the war, frequent purges terrified the country's top brass.
Since 1952, Stalin suspected the existence of a "doctor-killer organization" and tried to assassinate him. He even arrested nine doctors, six of whom were Jewish. Stalin claimed that the Jews were radical nationalists and had the potential to work against him. He kept his physical condition secret from the doctor, resulting in his inability to ** in time, and his health gradually deteriorated.
Stalin had an irregular schedule, working at night and sleeping during the day. On February 28, 1953, he met with high-ranking figures until 4 a.m., but did not wake up by noon, causing concern among the guards. Stalin's refusal to let the doctor approach, which led to a sharp deterioration in his physical condition. On March 2, Beria finally arrived, but Stalin, who was already unconscious, did not have a doctor by his side.
After examination, it was found that Stalin's left cerebral artery ruptured, causing myocardial infarction and kidney dysfunction, and his life was in danger. The rescue continued until March 5, when Stalin woke up again, but died soon after. At the funeral, Vasily wept bitterly, claiming that his father had been murdered.
There are many doubts about the cause of Stalin's death, especially the successive deaths of doctors who participated in the rescue. Khrushchev became the main suspect because he inherited the supreme authority of the Soviet Union. Beria was also executed two months later on suspicion of Stalin. Perhaps there are more secrets behind Stalin's death, which are not expected to be revealed until 2028.
