Svetlana Stalin’s Description of Her Father’s Death
Quoted in Newsweek is Svetlana Stalin’s description of her father’s death. We quote: “My father died a difficult and terrible death... God grants an easy death only to the just.... At what seemed the very last moment he suddenly opened his eyes and cast a glance over everyone in the room. It was a terrible glance, insane or perhaps angry and full of fear of death...Then he lifted his left hand as though he were pointing to something above and bringing down a curse on us all. The gesture was full of menace...The next moment... the spirit wrenched itself free of the flesh.” (Encyclopedia of Illustrations #2295).
