Did Joseph Stalin try to stop Hitler?

Answer 1

Concerned about a potential attack by Hitler, Joseph Stalin did try to stop him in 1939. Stalin wasn't able to get the international support he wanted, which led to his eventual agreement to sign the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

Answer 2

No one, he remained absolute leader of the USSR till his death of a brain hemorrhage in march of 1953, in his mansion retreat outside Moscow. As a matter of fact, during his last years of power, especially 1952-1953 he was most feared, feared by even his close assiosates who were his freinds dating back to the 1900s in exile in Siberia by the Czar. Deported a Jewish docter to Siberia in 1952 when he told Stalin to slow down his activties and get more rest. Deporting all Jews to Siberia, parranoid of a Jewish plot to have him killed. He was planning to kill off most of his inner circle, Khrushev, who would be his successor, Moltov his foreign minister and close freind since pre-revolutionary Russia, and the USSRs most brutal man, second only to Stalin himself, Beria, head of the NKVD, who was esstional in spying on the Americans, to get the USSR the atomic bomb in 1949. The irony of all this would propbaly been his own undoing, his brain hemorrhage came to him in his sleep, and his inner circle and body guards were to afraid to check on Stalin, in fear of waking him up or something within that nature. Also, because of his deportation of Jewish doctors, who made up a overwhelming majority of Moscows doctors, who received a unskilled or low experince docter. Also, the docter to treat him, was to afriad to of telling Stalins henchmen anything negative, so preteding he could be saved. Though, their are growing evidence that he was poisened by Beria and his men, and that he gave the order for Stalins guards not to disturb Stalin. At Stalins funeral in Moscow, Beria whispered to Moltov "their I did him in".
