Three Real-Life Stories Related to Stalin

(Anonymous) 2013-10-25 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
1. My grandmother had a friend whose whole life was ruined after the war because she'd been in a romance with a German invader and then abandoned. She had nowhere to go, and ultimately her super-religious friend took her in. The late night they announced Stalin's death, the super-religious friend woke her up with the words, "Lena, get up and pray*. The dog is dead."

*As in, rejoice and thank the lord.

2. Had Stalin not died exactly when he did, an enormous amount of Jews would have been deported and essentially wiped out. My father was three at the time and would not have survived the trip to Siberia, being a weak and sickly child. That his death coincided with Purim does not seem random.

3. In a big USSR city, there was a huge statue of Stalin. Then somebody snuck around and splashed it/sprinkled it with catnip. And the statue then spent several days with every cat in the city acting indecent around it. Then they posted a guard for the statue. I imagine the locals had a lot of fun pulling it down if it lasted until the country started falling apart.

/anecdotes.

Lol the last one is hilarious. I'm just imagining a bunch of cats attacking it.

They had to electrify another statue of his because the pigeons kept pooping on it.

Can you elaborate on the second one? My Russian history knowledge is weak.

In the early 1950s Stalin started moving against the Jews by concocting the doctor's plot:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctors%27_plot

Towards the bottom of this article it talks about an alleged plan to deport all the Jews east to Siberia. I understand that this has never been categorically proven, but apparently it was a difficult secret to keep. Word of mouth got around through the Russian Jewish community (I'm not sure when) that not only had work begun on thin barracks in Siberia (the type that would never ever stand up to the winter), but huge pits had been dug and filled with lye along the route the deportation trains would take, for them to throw in the dead as people died en route. I will stress that this is hearsay, but I do believe it.

It is random. Fuck off and stop ascribing religion to give ~meaning to life events.
