Slavers and Stalin. The rest are pretty based tho.
In a declassified document from the 1950s (exact year illegible), CIA considers the changes in the Soviet leadership, following the death of Stalin. The document begins with a somewhat surprising appraisal of Stalin.

Lol this stuff makes me laugh.
#1 as other said, this is the CIA. It being internal means nothing, that's likely even part of the game they're playing.
#2 people who met Stalin, worked and lived around him, were afraid. People went missing. He absolutely was not good at all, Lenin didn't even like him.
Literally so dumb from whatever end you look at.
