===The Assassination & Funeral of Joseph Stalin!!!===

	
[[Joseph Stalin]], second [[List of leaders of the Soviet Union|leader of the Soviet Union]], died on 5 March 1953, exactly to the minute at 21:50 of signing Katyn Execution Orders in 1940, at the [[Kuntsevo Dacha]], aged 74, after suffering a [[stroke]] from warfarin rat poison given to him in wine[archive.is/WAYDL][www.nytimes.com/2003/03/05/world/new-study-supports-idea-stalin-was-poisoned.html]. He was given a [[state funeral]], with [[National day of mourning#1950s|four days]] declared. His body was subsequently embalmed and interred in [[Lenin's Mausoleum|Lenin's & Stalin's Mausoleum]] until October 31 1961 (Halloween), when he was shamefully without any fanfare removed under cloud of darkness to simple grave behind Kremlin Wall, ironically on All Saints Eve, Holiday he banned. Also it's ironic, people who had him killed [[Nikita Khrushchev]], [[Georgy Malenkov]], [[Vyacheslav Molotov]] and [[Lavrentiy Beria]] were in charge of organizing the funeral!!!
