The ghost of Stalin

Josef Stalin left this earthly realm on March 5, 1953. The circumstances of his death were deeply chaotic – his guards and inner circle were too afraid to open the door to his room, and he was found days later lying on the floor. Stalin’s ghost however, still haunts modern day Russia – from tea-leaf readers to mediums on the internet, there's no shortage of people trying to contact the Soviet dictator on the other side.GUEST: Sheila Fitzpatrick, Emeritus professor at the Australian Catholic University and Author, The Death of StalinPRODUCER: Ali Benton
