there was a person that was close with Stalin, whom was basically being groomed to take over after Stalin died
Kirov? And of fucking course burgie historians blame Stalin for that.
If we are at this topic i would get back to Yakov Sverdlov who was clearly being prepared to help and eventually take over for Lenin (especially when Lenin was shot by F. Kaplan) alas he died from the spanish flu in 1919.
I would called neither of those “mistake” though, first was hostile act and second random accident. In that venue, mistake was Stalin trusting Malenkov instead of Molotov.
