Death of Stalin

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_death_of_stalin

Stalin's oppressive mass murdering government fell apart when he had a heart attack and died. It wasn't clear exactly how the hated dictator died though. Could he have lived if they had gotten him a doctor sooner or if someone who cared about him took care of him?

Anyways, the Russian officials hid it from the people until it was clear he was completely dead.
