After the start of the German invasion of the USSR on 22 June 1941 Stalin lived a kind of nervous breakdown. A few days holed up in his dacha in Kuncevo and of not talking to anyone. A. Beevor writes that when his Paladins (Khrushchev, Molotov, Beria and Malenkov) went to see Stalin, greeted them haggard and anxious, apparently believing that they came to arrest him. What would happen if indeed it happened? Never before or since Stalin's position wasn't so poor. What if Beria, which is suspected of poisoning Stalin in 1953 came to the conclusion it was time to get rid of the discredited dictator and pulled into his conspiracy rest of the Political Bureau? How to remove Stalin affect the course of the war and the policy of the USSR?
