The referenced part, for anyone interested:
Aleksei Snegov [...] told us that when Stalin's desk was being moved from his former study, they accidentally came across five letters addressed to him that he had hidden under a layer of newspapers in one of the drawers. Snegov could only recall three of them. [...] The third came from Marshall Tito in 1950. The text was brief: 'Stalin. Stop sending assassins to murder me. We have already caught five, one with a bomb, another with a rifle. ... If this doesn't stop, I will send one man to Moscow and there will be no need to send another.'
It seems that the Stalin incident story might have roots in reality.
Regardless, Tito was still a cult of personality and his country crumbled as soon as he died.
