Stalin dementia

MILLIONS of Russians might have been saved from death if Stalin had visited a psychiatrist.

Dr George El-Nimr told the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ annual conference in Harrogate, north Yorkshire, that the dictator had suffered from dementia following a series of strokes.

The consultant psychiatrist from north Staffordshire said: “This might be an explanation for the florid paranoia, dimming of his superior intellect and the unleashing of his most sadistic personality traits.”
