Russia's communist faction has recently made a request for an investigation into the potential role of Western powers in the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. This call for a probe comes amidst ongoing debates and controversies surrounding Stalin's demise.
Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union with an iron fist for nearly three decades, passed away in 1953 under mysterious circumstances. While the official cause of death was listed as a stroke, many historians and experts have long speculated about the possibility of foul play.
