Check out the NYT Obit of Uncle Joe.
An excerpt for you: "Stalin took and kept the power in his country through a mixture of character, guile and good luck."
Oh yes.

And for nearly rolling over to the Nazis, yes. I understand that millions of Russians (or well, I guess they were all Soviets back then) lost their lives while the Wermacht rolled across Russia because Iron Joe curled up in a ball because he couldn't BELEIVE the Germans were abrogating their treaty.
Killing off most of his military's leading mind probably didn't help either.
With character and guile like THAT. . .
