Generalissimus Stalin's Homepage

Looks like a nice guy! if this image was an accurate summary of his personality. He was probably a very personable guy. Remember the movie "Circle of Terror", which told the story of Stalin from the point of view of Stalin's personal movie-projectionist? I remember a part where Stalin was getting ready for his nightly movie..the boss of the projectionist was hurrying because Stalin was getting restless. Stalin wanted to watch his movie. The projectionists boss broke a crucial spring in the projectors mechanism. He knew his career and maybe life were over. Stalin goes to him "Comrade don't be nervous"..the projectionist-boss knew how scared he should be..the less experienced student projectionist was asked by Stalin, (knowing he would give an answer that wasn't purely made to give Stalin what Stalin wanted to hear) "Comrade, how do you think the problem might be solved"? the nervous student-projectionist smiled thinking he was being helpful and said "comrade Stalin, the Soviet projector is an inferior copy of a German projector. We made the spring of poor quality metal". Of course, if the boss-projectionist said that, he'd be dead for admitting Soviet inferiority in the design of countless projectors. Stalin then looked at the boss-projectionist and said "comrade, imagine if all the fighters on the all the fronts couldn't watch their movie, all because of one small spring". The boss-projectionist dissapears at that point in the movie. It is excellent I recommend it.
