Stalin's regime viewed as unified in aims with Soviet leaders
The State Department now sees no real difference between Stalin and his top aides in goals and policies. Truman once called Stalin a prisoner of the Politburo, but advisers doubt a personal intervention could ease Russo American tensions. Some officials once speculated a political explosion if Stalin died, yet few hold that view now. The police system is considered too powerful for such an upheaval.
