Secret documents reveal Stalin was poisoned

December 21 was the 126th birthday of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
Historian and publicist Nikolay Dobryukha says the Kremlin archives contain
documented evidence proving that Stalin was poisoned.
The discovered documents absolutely disprove all affirmations saying that
Stalin died of cerebral hemorrhage caused by his poor health. These documents
are the records of Stalin's medical examination within the period of over 30
years. These documents also demonstrate that Stalin was not at all apprehensive
of medical examinations and was not afraid of receiving treatment of doctors as
it was rumored. It was also said that for fear to visit doctors Stalin often
resorted to self-medication. In fact, highly-qualified doctors were called for
in case of Stalin's slightest indisposition and had close medical examination
of the high-ranking client all day round.
Records made in September 1947 state that Joseph Stalin had initial stage
hypertension, also chronic articular rheumatism and overfatigue. Doctor
Kirillov made a record of Stalin's blood pressure - 145 per 85 - which was
excellent for his age of 67 at that time.
At the age of 70, Stalin's blood pressure made up 140 per 80 and the
pulse made up 74 beats per minute before taking bath. After the bath, blood
pressure dropped to 138 per 75 and the pulse made up 68 per minute. The Soviet
leader did not complain of bad sleep, had regular bowel movements and was fine
in general. The medical records show Stalin had the blood pressure of 140 per
80 and the pulse 70 beats per minute at the age of 72. At that, the latter
measuring was made when Stalin had flu and fever. It is unlikely that younger
and healthier people can register similar showing. And this is astonishing that
no other medical record mentions of the initial stage hypertension of Stalin.
It was not true when some people stated that "Stalin was seriously ill,
especially after the dramatic stress he endured during WWII". These talks
appeared as soon as bulletins about Stalin's health were published for the
first time on March 4, 1953. These official bulletins stated that on the night
of March 2 Joseph Stalin had cerebral hemorrhage caused by his hypertension and
atherosclerosis.
The false statements were encouraged by Lavrentiy Beria and his prot?g?s
Malenkov and Khrushchev as soon as they became leaders of the country.
The discovered documents reveal that the Soviet leader got poisoned
within February 28 - March 1, 1953, between the Saturday night and Monday, the
period when majority of doctors cannot be reached for because of their day off.
That was done on purpose to give the poison enough time to take effect.
But it is not also ruled out that conspirators first immediately
poisoned Stalin and only after that his double fell victim of the poison as
well. In fact, Beria did not expect the poisoning would be so protracted and
that is why he felt incredibly nervous. On March 4, newspapers controlled by
Beria reported that "Stalin had cerebral hemorrhage staying in his Moscow
apartment on the night of March 2" which was not true because Stalin died at
the out-of-town residence. Why did Beria need to report the leader died in his
Moscow apartment? Probably he spread misinformation to use Stalin's look-alike:
maybe Stalin died immediately after poisoning staying in the out-of-town
residence and his double "fell ill" in an instant in the Kremlin and then on
the night of March 2 was moved to the out-of-town residence to substitute the
already dead Lord. In a word, Beria's plan turned out to be not quite smooth.
To be on the safe side, when it was publicly announced Stalin was dead Beria
still arrested the head of a laboratory making poisons for secret killings.
Many people knew that Beria was going to wage war against Stalin.
His son Sergo said that father highly likely schemed something against Stalin
with the help of his supporters in law enforcement structures and with his own
intelligence structure that was not controlled by any of the governmental
structures.
Stalin's bodyguards say that the leader got poisoned immediately
after he drank mineral water. Indeed, Stalin was found dead lying near a table
on which a bottle with mineral water and a glass stood. The poison took effect
instantaneously. Some sources state that Stalin fell down dead and others
insist he fell down unconscious.
Study of the archives revealed that on November 8, 1953 the Kremlin
sanitary department wanted to hand "medicaments and three empty mineral water
battles" over to the Stalin Museum. But for some reason, the department handed
just two empty bottles to the Museum on November 9. What is the secret of the
third lost bottle?
The journal kept by doctors treating Stalin brings to nothing the
memoirs and researches of Stalin's last illness and death. As seen from the
records in the journal the doctors obviously understood that Stalin was
poisoned. This is proved by prescriptions they made: ice application to the
head; sweet tea with lemon; catharsis with sulfur-acid magnesia and so on.
When doctors examined Stalin at 7 a.m. March 2 they found the
patient lying on his back on a sofa with the head turned to the left and the
eyes closed. The hyperemia of face was moderate; the breathing was not upset.
The pulse made up 78 beats per minute, the heart sounds were rather muffled.
The blood pressure made up 190 per 110. The stomach was soft and the liver
protruded 3-4 cm from under the rib edge. Stalin was unconscious; his condition
was grave.
Doctor Lukomsky discovered that Stalin's right arm and leg were
paralyzed. From time to time his left leg and arm moved a little. The medical
records suggest that doctors did their best to treat the leader for poisoning
and for its consequences, blood supply disturbance and insult, at the same
time. But none of them pronounced that was poisoning.
It was on March 3 when Stalin's doctors registered that condition
of the patient grew even worse and heart activity got weaker. Next day, March
4, the condition of the patient grew extremely grave because of frequent
respiratory standstills. Suddenly, the skin on the face, legs and arms became
blue which is quite typical of poisoning with some poisons. When a human
organism is poisoned with aniline, nitrobenzene and others hemoglobin turns
into methemoglobin having dark color. It is not ruled out that Stalin was
poisoned with a mixture of different poisons.
On the night of March 5, doctors got results of Stalin's blood and
urine tests which indicated the patient suffered from poisoning. But the
doctors were afraid to tell Beria about poisoning as they feared he would blame
any of them for the poisoning. Stalin's liver was still enlarged, another
factor typical of poisoning.
Early in the morning March 5, Stalin had bloody vomit as a result
of which the pulse declined and the blood pressure dropped. The doctors were at
a loss how to explain what was happening to the patient. All day long Stalin
had bloody vomit and was in collapse several times.
In the evening on March 5, Stalin was wet through with
perspiration, the pulse was thready and cyanosis intensified. The doctors gave
the patient carbogene several times but the condition did not improve. At 9:40
p.m. Stalin had artificial ventilation but in vain. His death was registered at
9:50 p.m.
Many of documented evidence left by doctors, including
premortal examination of Stalin, disagree with recollections of other
eyewitnesses. For instance, Stalin's daughter Svetlana said she could not
recognize the father as his illness changed him beyond recognition. Was it
possible that Beria's people substituted Stalin with his double and even his
relatives could not recognize him?
One of the documents pertaining to Stalin's death discovered
in the Kremlin archives seems to be particularly mysterious. The document says
that nurse Moiseyeva gave Stalin an injection of calcium gluconate at 8:45 p.m.
Never before that over the whole period of illness was Stalin given such an
injection. At 9:48 p.m., the nurse affixed her signature to a document
revealing she gave Stalin an injection of 20-percent camphor oil. Finally, the
woman made an injection of adrenalin to Stalin for the first time over the
whole course of treatment and made an official record of the fact. Soon after
that the Soviet leader died. This coincidence probable gave rise to rumors that
a Jewish woman trained by Beria dispatched Stalin to the next world by giving
him a special injection.
When contemporary doctors studied medical records of Stalin's
illness and last hours of life they stated adrenaline injections were forbidden
for patients registering the same symptoms that Stalin had.
But it is a fact that soon after Stalin's brothers-in-arms
distributed authority at a special plenary session in the Kremlin, they came to
the out-of-town residence where Stalin was still staying alive and gave him the
fatal injection.
