Russian communists looking to tie Western intelligence to death of dictator Stalin – 71 years later
71 years after the death of Russian dictator Joseph Stalin and Russia’s Communist Party wants to finally figure out the answer to that age old question – are Western intelligence services really to blame?
Soviet authorities announced at the time that Stalin had died of a stroke.
The Communist Party, which was in power for 46 years following the dictator’s death – and handled the autopsy – will now work with Russia’s FSB Security Service and the Prosecutor’s General Office to investigate potential connections between Western intelligence agencies and the death of Stalin, communist party head, Sergei Malinkovich, told Russian propagandist media RIA Novosti.
"On the 71st anniversary of Joseph Stalin's death (March 5), the party requested that the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and the FSB investigate whether Western intelligence agencies were involved in his death," he stated.
Testimonies from Stalin's contemporaries "suggest" the possibility that Western agents may have poisoned him, Malinkovich theorized.
There was no immediate word on whether Russia’s Communist Party will also open new investigations on whether Western intelligence had a role in the deaths of Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, or Rasputin.
