Re: [NABOKV-L] malinaSKB: Incidentally, Alexey, did Stalin's Georgian accent arouse any sniggers?
Stan: It is quite true that Stalin spoke Russian with a heavy Georgian accent (that's why he didn't like to speak before a large audience); but, I imagine, any sniggers would cost the jokers lengthy terms in labor camps. It was a time when an anecdote about the Father of Nations shared in a company of intimate friends could be a sufficient reason for an indiscreet person to spend the next ten years or more in Vorkuta or Norilsk.
If you are interested, here is a fragment from an interview in Radio Svoboda:
