Th Death of stalin is one of my favorite movies. I’d be willing to bet the type of person to go through the comments section on this post would love it too!
Explanation: Stalin died of a stroke - being found incontinent by his housekeeper, and then lingering on for several days as attempts were made to stabilize his health (unsuccessfully).
Stalin was also a genocidal shitbag of the lowest kind, so good riddance.
This may be apocryphal but I recall that the reason his staff didn’t intervene sooner was because he was prone to lashing out at anyone who disturbed him. So he might not have died so painfully if not for being such a colossal asshole.
“Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its warmth.” Sounds like he went out pleasantly.
