Yeah its probably true. Stalin the historical figure and Stalin the man are to be separated imo. He was monstrous to his family. EDIT: PROBABLY SOME BULLSHIT I PICKED UP YEARS AGO: After learning of his son's failed suicide attempt he was said to have replied "he can't even shoot straight." That son would later die in a German PoW camp.
Not good. Still shouldn't have stopped at Berlin, tho.

I can't find it, I'd delete my comment but I don't want the replies to lose context, it was probably just anecdotal bullshit
I can't find any reputable historians who actually mention this claim, even anti-communist ones.
I swear I read that somewhere but now I can't find it either
