In the Documentary "Russia's War: Blood on the Snow" they interviewed a guard from Stalin's Dacha who, so it seems, told a similar story ... Stalin had retreated there in a blue funk and when, finally, a bunch of Officers rolled up in a Staff Car to beg him to come back to STAVKA, well, he muttered something about being worried they'd come to shoot *him*. And, of course, when he suffered his fatal stroke, the guards at the Kremlin were afraid to call the Doctors to look at him, laying on a couch, drooling, evidently, because, if they were wrong, well ... Siberia beckons ... as it was, by the time medical treatment was called the next morning, it was too late to do anything (and probably would have been anyway) ... reps like Stalin's can be a two edged sword [:D][X(][:-] Phil
