That explains why the story is in fashion at the moment. But regarding the movie, see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Stalin#Historical_accuracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Stalin#Historical... "the film is "fundamentally ill-equipped to locate the comedy inherent to Stalinism, missing marks it doesn't know it should be aiming for."" In short, it doesn't give a real insight, even if it entertains. The film is anyway based on a comics: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mort_de_Staline_(bande_dessin%C3%A9e) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mort_de_Staline_(bande_dess... Which starts with: "Although inspired by real events, this story is nonetheless a fiction, freely constructed according to a fragmentary documentation, sometimes partial and often contradictory ... The authors point out, however, that they hardly needed to force their imagination, being unable to invent anything equivalent to the furious madness of Stalin and his entourage" It's a fiction, even if there are surely the facts that are even weirder than many are able to imagine and the facts that are much harder to casually talk about.
