Or at least events commonly considered in the bourgeois media to be “conspiracy theories.” Personally, I believe that Joseph Stalin was assassinated in 1953 by the Khrushchev clique to ensure their rise to power.

    I believe that Joseph Stalin was assassinated in 1953 by the Khrushchev clique to ensure their rise to power.

    At the point where Khrushchev would have done this he was not the logical successor, Malenkov was, along with Beria and Molotov. Khrushchev got power after Molotov and Malenkov switched away from Beria and everyone teamed up with Zhukov who had been just about done with Beria’s shit for a decade.

    The two assassination theories with any logical backing I’ve seen is that Beria murdered stalin, or that members of the politburo (Which would include Khrushchev) decided to get rid of Stalin because they expected to be purged. Personally I just think he died.
