MODERATORS
I've wasted time tracing how many degrees of separation famous people have with Stalin:
Every famous and semi-famous British person is around 4 degrees of separation through Elizabeth II > George Marshall > Stalin since George Marshall attended Elizabeth's coronation. He apparently was seated at a table next to her at some post-coronation dinner, so he's not merely a passive participant.
The entire Cuban Communist Party is like 4 degrees of separation through Fidel/Raul > Brezhnev > Stalin, and most non-gusano Cubans aren't that far away from Stalin either since Raul has been around forever and isn't shy on dealing with average Cubans.
Most of the old-school Cold War ghouls like the Dulles bros and Hoover are Truman > Stalin. Kissinger is Mao > Stalin. Brzezinski is Brezhnev > Stalin. Albright is Brzezinski > Brezhnev > Stalin.
Mao met Stalin at his birthday celebration. Zhou Enlai met Stalin as part of a delegation to request military aid for the Korean War. Chiang Kai-shek is Trotsky(lol) > Stalin, but his son Chiang Ching-kuo actually met Stalin multiple time by virtue of being a de facto hostage, which means modern Taiwanese politicians aren't far removed from Stalin since Chiang Ching-kuo and his successor Lee Teng-hui were in office collectively for 22 years. Deng Xiaoping is Mao > Stalin, but he's also Chiang Ching-kuo > Stalin since they both went to the same school in the Soviet Union. I think none of the newer Chinese leaders beat Elizabeth II > George Marshall > Stalin.
For Black revolutionaries, Nkrumah is Zhou Enlai > Stalin. Sekou Toure is Tito > Stalin since he visited Yugoslavia as part of a delegation as head of state. Lumumba is Nkrumah > Zhou Enlai > Stalin. Huey Newton is Zhou Enlai > Stalin. Kwame Ture is Ho Chi Minh > Stalin surprisingly enough, who he liked to constantly brag about meeting. Malcolm X is Nkrumah > Zhou Enlai > Stalin or Castro > Khrushchev > Stalin. Nasser is Tito > Stalin. Boumediene and Gaddafi are Nasser > Tito > Stalin. MLK is LBJ > Truman > Stalin. Paul Robeson is actually Truman > Stalin where he berated Truman in person for being a racist cracker.

Okay, I've wasted enough time.
