Actually this makes a lot of sense in context to some other pieces I've read. Stalin basically seized control instead of handing over power to the likes of trotsky like he was supposed to. Explains the 'collapse' of sovietism too.
Trotsky was a British agent. After he was expelled from the country, he was going to become the head of a government in exile while they started the Finnish War - a civil war between a former part of Russia against the USSR. This is why Stalin killed Trotsky, because otherwise this gambit was placing the USSR in jeopardy.
Note that before Stalin, the USSR under Lenin was a "great social experiment". As soon as Stalin closed the central bank in New York, he became evil.

I need to see some evidence of this. Details like this are glossed over in american 'education'.
The extent of my knowledge of stalin is "gulags and dead ukrainians."
What I said is based on experience in unrelated matters in geopolitics. It is just a drop in the ocean of lies.
I will keep an eye for a book and let you know. Some are coming out of Russia now that Putin announced that he will fight against disinformation.
