Reconstructed from this interview with Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar. Remember what Kissinger said about power being the ultimate aphrodisiac?
Dear Comrade Stalin,I am a 23-year old school teacher from Saratov Province. I would love to come and meet you alone. I have fantasies and dreams about you. Is there any chance that I could come to see you?

Dear Comrade unfamiliar,I am afraid I do not have time to see you, although I respect your request.
