Joseph Stalin did not mellow with age: He prosecuted a reign of terror, purges, executions, exiles to labor camps and persecution in the postwar USSR.After WW2 he started testing nukes which led to the modern day conflicts we share with Russia about human rights and nuclear warfare. Stalin even gave Kim Il Sung permission in the 1950 to invade U.S territory. This led to become the Korean war and our mutual hate for North Korea.
Stalin, who grew increasingly paranoid in his later years, died on March 5, 1953, at age 74, after suffering a stroke. His body was embalmed and preserved in Lenin’s mausoleum in Moscow’s Red Square until 1961, when it was removed and buried near the Kremlin walls as part of the de-Stalinization process initiated by Stalin’s successor Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971).
