Abstract

The author talks about Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin who turned Russia into a superpower to match the U.S. Topics include why she saw Stalin as a romantic hero after the death of his wife, Stalin's reputation as a peasant who outlived communism's intellectuals, and the possibility that Stalin was mad due to the torture he underwent at the hands of the tsarist police.
