Why was Stalin so keen on using stand-ins? This is inseparable from his upbringing and personality, Stalin came from a poor background, and was actively involved in revolutionary activities in his early years, for which he was arrested and imprisoned several times, an experience that left a deep imprint on his heart and made him full of desire for power and security

After becoming the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin vigorously consolidated his power on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also attached great importance to his own security, knowing full well that in that era of struggle and intrigue, his every move was closely watched by hostile forces, and the slightest carelessness could lead to death

In order to protect himself, Stalin began to secretly assemble a "shadow army" of "doubles", some of whom were similar in appearance to Stalin, and others were specially trained professionals who could imitate Stalin's speech and mannerisms

Stalin's stand-ins usually lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public, and only on some special occasions, such as when Stalin needed to attend some important meetings or events, but he was worried about his own safety, would arrange for stand-ins to attend in his place

The Kirov assassination case became a turning point in Stalin's "stand-in plan", before that, although Stalin also used stand-ins, but the number was not large, and the frequency of use was not high, and the Kirov assassination case made Stalin realize that the danger he faced was far more severe than he imagined

In order to ensure his own safety, Stalin decided to increase his investment in the "stand-in program", and he ordered the KGB to secretly search for people with similar looks throughout the country, and strictly train them to become "stand-ins" that he could use at any time

From the Ordinary to the Legendary: Uncovering the True Identity and Experiences of Stalin's Stand-In

Among Stalin's many stand-ins, the most widely known is Yevsei · Lubensky, an ordinary worker from Ukraine who was chosen to become Stalin's stand-in because of his striking resemblance to Stalin, and has since changed his fate

One day, Lubensky was suddenly taken away by the secret police, and he was told that he had been selected to be the executor of a "special mission", and on the way to Moscow, Lubensky was in constant anxiety, and he did not know what would await him

After arriving in Moscow, Lubensky was placed in a secret dacha, where he met his "teachers", KGB agents, who told him that he was going to play the role of Joseph Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union

In order to make Lubensky look more like Stalin, the KGB carried out a series of "transformations" on him, they dyed Lubensky's hair black, glued a fake beard, and deliberately dotted a few "moles" on his face to make him look more like Stalin

In addition to the transformation of his appearance, Lubensky had to undergo rigorous physical and linguistic training, and he had to practice Stalin's walking posture, tone of speech, and even Stalin's smoking posture every day

After several months of training, Lubensky was able to distinguish the real from the fake, and even the staff around Stalin had difficulty distinguishing his true identity

Since then, Lubensky has appeared in various public occasions as "Stalin", attending meetings, reviewing the army, and receiving foreign guests, perfectly playing the role of Stalin and escorting Stalin's safety

Becoming Stalin's stand-in also meant that Lubensky lost his freedom, he could not contact his family, reveal his true identity, or even have his own life

After Stalin's death, Lubensky finally regained his freedom, and this special experience became an eternal secret in his heart

It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake: even the closest relatives can hardly recognize the disguise of the "stand-in".

Stalin's stand-ins were carefully disguised in appearance, speech and demeanor, and even the relatives who got along with Stalin day and night could hardly distinguish the real from the fake

It is said that on one occasion, Stalin's daughter Svetlana went to visit her father, and Stalin was working in the study at the time, and when she saw her daughter coming, she put down the documents in her hand and got up to greet her

Svetlana stepped forward and hugged her father, but suddenly she felt that something was wrong, she noticed that the smell of smoke on her father seemed to be lighter than usual, and her father looked at her a little strangely

Svetlana couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion in her heart, but she didn't say anything, but quietly exchanged a few words with her "father" and left the study

Afterwards, the more Svetlana thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she suspected that what she had seen that day was not her real father, but her father's substitute

Svetlana's suspicions are not groundless, according to the recollections of Stalin's staff, Stalin used stand-ins more and more frequently in his later years, especially on some important occasions, Stalin would arrange stand-ins to attend in his place for safety

Stalin's stand-ins are not only extremely similar to Stalin in appearance, but even their voices, demeanors, and movements are imitated so vividly that if they are not very familiar with Stalin, they will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake
