What would Stalin do if Moscow is overrun?

With stroke, isn't it different story though? Or if one got heart attack, isn't there chance person will lost control over such things. It can happen to any of us. But to go off the road, take down pants and step on the mine?
I don't know for sure, I thought he was found in the bathroom on the toilet.
 
Stalin probably SAID that he would say, but in actuality I could see Stalin either shooting himself or running off to the Urals or beyond with all the money he can get his hands on, leaving the USSR to basically "sort itself out"

I don't see that happening. Money can only get you so much. It most definitely won't get you the type of absolute power Stalin had in the USSR. Why do you think most dictators are killed? Most of the time, a dictator has a chance to flee, usually with a golden parachute. But living there quiet life in Goa just doesn't appeal to them after having the power of life and death. Stalin would either die fighting or evacuate at the last moment to continue the fight.

Stalin greedy for money ? ...
No, he was addicted to "power" on single humans as well as over millions. IMO that's what got him an hard one.

When you have enough money it becomes meaningless and is just really a stand in for power and authority to do what you want when you want. Just like the nobility of Europe didn't really have a use for capitalism and in fact hated it (just like communism), because they already had the means of power and status at their disposal.
 
Stalin escapes to Moline, Illinois, where he operates a barber shop under the name Brian Notstalin. Then in 1947, after the WAllies have nuked Germany into submission, a rival barber shop opens across the street, run by a man calling himself Brian Nothitler. Hilarity ensues.

Stalin unlocks the gates to the Moscow Zoo and leads a division of brown bears against the Germans.

What about Stalin launching another purge of his officer corps? After all, his paranoid mind would have probably seen a coup against him by his generals.

Assuming he still had the power to, and if Moscow is falling, I think he starts with Zhukov. Since he's the one that promised Moscow wouldn't fall.
