Joseph Stalin came to power in 1927 and died in 1953. His 25-year dictatorship is punctuated by terrifying statistics: 20 million dead in prisons and gulags, 10 million peasants expropriated, four to five million citizens deported then executed during the years 1936-39 alone. A ruthless dictator, able to sign 3,167 death sentences in a single day, wary of his entourage and not hesitating to have many of his own collaborators murdered, especially in the army. But four men succeeded in remaining at his side until his death, men who knew how to adapt to his tyrannical paranoia. Four men, four accomplices named Kaganovich, Molotov, Voroshilov and Mikoyan and who — rare among those close to Stalin — died a natural death. How does one maintain a dictator’s trust? How does one avoid offending his susceptibility? How does one protect oneself from the violent tempests that strike and doom arbitrarily?
