Stalin: A Biography

47. T. H. Rigby, ‘Was Stalin a Disloyal Patron?’

54. Death and Embalming

1. I follow Svetlana Allilueva’s memoir here. W. Taubman suggests it was the (later) New Year’s Eve party, but I think this is based on a rather vague reference in Khrushchëv’s memoirs.

2. S. Allilueva, Dvadtsat’ pisem k drugu, p. 21.

3. J. Davrichewy, Ah! Ce qu’on rigolait bien, p. 71. See above, p. 26.

10. P. I. Yegorov, ‘Poslednyaya noch’ Stalina’, Argumenty i fakty, no. 10 (March 2003), p. 10. Yegorov was on guard duty, at position number 6, at Stalin’s dacha on 1 March.

11. Ibid.

12. This is the plausible suggestion in E. Radzinsky, Stalin, pp. 553–4.

22. ‘Poslednyaya “otstavka” Stalina’, p. 110. A. Mgeladze, however, suggested — wrongly — that Stalin was already dead: Stalin, kakim ya ego znal, pp. 235.
