A little known facet of history . . . Stalin was stricken down on Purim just before he planned on unleashing a second Holocaust, G-d forbid.
Kind of important considering that people who insist "the Jews" were Stalin's bosses are once again beginning to infest Free Republic.

"The more I see and read about Mr. Putin, in power since 1999, and his 'managed democracy,' the more apprehensive I become about the future of Russia and the safety of its neighbors.
If Putin believes that the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent states represents the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,' then it follows that Putin might well believe he should do something to repair the loss..."

I’d always understood that he suffered a stroke in his bedroom and his aides were terrified to check on him because he was a late sleeper. By the time they found him it was too late and he died days later.

I actually did not know this. Will tell my 2 older sons. Thanks for this. Appropriate today. We still need miracles and that was a fairly recent one. It provides me with a little hope.

Thanks ZC. A good version (the AISH HaTorah one) but I like the Lubavitch version better ;) I think I've posted it before, but here is a synopsis of a gathering of the Lubavitcher chassidim in Brooklyn on the night of the (morning in Russia of) Stalin's death. Enjoy._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Lubavitcher Rebbe told the following story in a Purim farbrengen in the 1950′s: After the Czar fell in Russia, it was announced that the government would be holding elections. The Rebbe Rashab [the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe] sent word to the Chasidim that they were to participate in the voting process. There was one particular Chasid who was completely removed from worldly affairs; to him the political arena was foreign territory. Nonetheless, having received an explicit instruction from the Rebbe, he set out to fulfill his command. With a sense of awe and reverence he immersed himself in a mikva, donned his gartel (sash) and set out for the polling booth. Of course, when he got there he had no idea what he was expected to do, but some of the more worldly Chasidim helped him cast his vote. Adjusting his gartel, the Chasid did what everyone else was doing. When the votes were cast, everyone cried out Hurrah! Taking his cue from those around him he likewise cried out, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! As he uttered these words, the Rebbes face burned with a holy fire. The Chasidim were astounded; they realized that more was going on than met the eye, but they did not understand the significance of what had just occurred. Swept up by the powerful emotion that filled the air, the crowd spontaneously rose to its feet and shouted, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! three times. In 1953, on March 5, the 18th of Adar, the whole truth was finally revealed: Stalin was dead. He died at the exact moment the Chasidim were shouting Hurrah! back in Brooklyn at the Rebbes gathering. [The Hebrew words "hu rah" mean "he is evil"]

Jewish holidays are not merely a commemoration of an event in time. The time of year in which the miracle occurred was an opportune time for the conception of that miracle. As we make our way toward the Purim holiday, we are entering a time zone in which the all the Haman's of the world can fail and Jewish redemption is born. Thanks much for the ping, ZC.

Here's another account from a reputable person in touch with many who were around at the time:
http://lekuteidaas.blogspot.com/2010/02/rebbe-defeats-stalin.html (It should be noted that Stalin's death was announced 3 days later, not 5 and according to most accounts, when they announced that he was "sick" on Purim, he was really dead and they were breaking it easily - like what happened with Chavez.)
