Stalin Kicked The Bucket: Ray Anderson [1953]

Old Joe kicked the bucket, he's long gone.
He won't worry us from now on.
He lived in a place they call Moscow.
His number came up and he had to go

Yes, old Joe's dead and gone.
He stayed around too long.
And nobody now can save his hide,
'Cause old Joe lay right down and died.

Old Joe won't worry us no more.
He killed the helpless by the score.
Now I hope he's satisfied,
Since old Joe's taken his last ride

Yes, old Joe's dead and gone.
He stayed around too long.
And nobody now can save his hide,
'Cause old Joe lay right down and died

While near the end, he couldn't talk,
He was paralyzed and he couldn't walk.
He died with a hemorrhage in the brain.
They have a new fireman on the devil's train.

Yes, old Joe's dead and gone.
He stayed around too long.
And nobody now can save his hide,
'Cause old Joe lay right down and died.

Although he was a man of power,
He was scared of Eisenhower.
So now the devil can retire,
'Cause old Joe Stalin will keep the fire.

Yes, old Joe's dead and gone.
He stayed around too long.
And nobody now can save his hide,
'Cause old Joe laid right down and died.

I met Stalin’s daughter in the ‘80’s. Very nice lady. My BFF’s mom is a seamstress and had done some seamstress work for Svetlana and we delivered the clothes to her at the hotel she was staying at.

Stalin is dead?

Sure.

Next thing they’ll be saying Mao is gone.

An entertaining film, but rife with historical inaccuracies.

The biggest one is that Beria wasn't executed until the following year.

from what I have read, Svetlana led a rather unhappy and very unsettled life.

Allegedly Beria finished Stalin off and told the rest of the Politburo, “I saved you all.”

“Cause old Joe lay right down and died”

I read they got him by putting rat poison in his food.

Saw about 10mns of that “movie”. A waste of those 10mns.

I generally “watch” this type of film while I am working on something else, so it is kind of background noise and only getting part of my attention. But I caught enough to get the gist of it. I saw a few parts that made me laugh. I doubt that they were completely historically accurate except that truth is often stranger than fiction and parts of the film were based on actual occurrences. And I thought that the actors portrayals were recognizable enough that it was quite easy to figure out who was playing which historical figure. I would not call the film a complete waste of time. My wife came in and made me change back to her favorite Andy Griffith reruns, so I didn’t see the ending.

I think The Death of Stalin was accurate in the sense that despite the image we in the West had of the Soviet Leadership as this dour, ruthlessly efficient, focused methodical group of supermen, scratch the surface and it was a rollicking fustercluck.

The film captured that nicely I think.

And as soon as he began feeling the effects, he couldn't summon his bodyguard of 30-odd years or his doctor. They had been purged.

Thank you. I think that is a good summery of what the situation likely was.
