The comedy was played out under a small balcony of the armored house outside Moscow, Dacha Kuntsevo. Where the tyrant died. There Stalin's plans to leave his daughter as heir also fell through.
The news yesterday, March 27, 2025, that 'Putin is dying', has frightening similarities to the real news of Stalin's death in March 1953. The first similarity is that both - father and son, from the same nation. Even the fact that the news about Putin was received 'easily', has again to do with Stalin's death.
Stalin's death has been treated as a comedy.
But why is the tragedy of tyrants played out to the masses like a comedy? This is the enigmatic part. Have the masses, poisoned by the life of the tyrant, never felt free, and therefore enjoy the comedy in the post-tyrant life, as a freedom?
Putin's news was delivered yesterday by Zelensky, from outside Moscow, thousands of kilometers away, in Paris. Stalin's news, this too, was delivered from outside Moscow, but only a few kilometers away.
"The dictator was lying on the floor, in a fortified dacha 84 kilometers from Moscow. Seven men saw him and were silent for three days before breaking the news to the Soviet people;
This is what is written in the summary on page 28 of the weekly Epoca of April 7, 1963.
The seven men were Stalin's seven potential successors. The struggle for power in front of Stalin's corpse turned the post-death into a comedy. Stalin's daughter, Svetlana, had heard that 'father is dying', as is usually not the case with the full news. She ran in one breath and came to the dacha. The members of the Politburo were leaving the dacha after the power struggle.
There were Molotov, Beria, Khrushchev, Malenkov, Mikoyan, Bulganin… They heard Stalin's body fall heavily, they looked through the keyhole, they saw him lying there, but no one dared to enter the room where the leader died. Anyone who dared would be accused of 'killing Stalin'. The first was ready for Beria to make the accusation. The second was ready for Malenkov to carry out the execution…
No one entered, everyone was fleeing death: Both from Stalin's death and from the danger of their own death.
When everyone was running, Svetlana arrived in front of them.
-Aaah!, how nice to meet you- they said, politely. And how is father, how is comrade Stalin?, they asked their daughter who was coming.
The comedy reached its climax. The members of the Bureau left Stalin dead and questioned his daughter, who had not yet received the news.
There all the masks of 'heroes' fell and were replaced by clowns. Svetlana herself, until that moment, and her alcoholic brother, had been the idol of the members of the Bureau. Nikita Khrushchev and Beria had then taken on the role of guardian over Stalin's sons. One had to hide his bad habit of alcoholism, while his daughter, Svetlana, was about to replace her father, Stalin, at the head of the Soviet Union.
But that's where everything fell apart; everyone started fighting for themselves.
The comedy was played out under a small balcony of the armored house outside Moscow, Dacha Kuntsevo. Where the tyrant died. There Stalin's plans to leave his daughter as heir also fell through.
By the time the Soviet people received the tragic news of 'Father's death', the whole thing had turned into a comedy and was being played out in the high dome of the Politburo.
For Putin's predicted death, yesterday, March 27, the whole comedy was played out in the relations between the occupier and the victim in the former Soviet Union. But even more broadly: This could turn into a comedy between the peoples and continents themselves.
From the beginning of the comedy, several questions are asked:
First, why can only comedies be written and performed about tyrants? There is no mother's son who writes or performs a drama or thriller, or melodrama, or concert, except comedy. There is an explanation: That the tyrant has not suffered drama and therefore there is no sign in his life that he has experienced it as drama, nor as glory. When the tyrant leaves, he does not have enough time to clean up what he leaves behind; and the tyrant leaves behind filth, murder, theft, cake, slander..., all comical things.
And the second question:
Why would they want to give happy news about death, even of a tyrant?
Ukrainian President Zelensky, and said that after Putin's death 'things will be resolved!'. But why, even in this century, do we have to wait for the death of the tyrant for the people to be saved from him? This is not comedy, it is no longer comic, but tragedy itself.
We Albanians, among all the peoples of the world, have also found tyrants dead in their beds. It's sad.
The importance of peoples that hardly turns into comedy.
