The Death of Stalin

The Great Terror’s thick cloak of paranoia covers Moscow in 1953. In the midst of this, Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader and watchful, succumbs to a brain hemorhage. The result is that panic sets in amongst senior Council of Ministers members as they try to keep order and weed out competition. In the midst of this roller coaster of endless plotting, relentless machinations and fragile allegiances no one is secure. Not even Lavrenti Birian, the fearsome chief of secret police. Who will win the final battle after Stalin’s death? –Nick Riganas
