This is the story of the Doctors' Plot, one of the final and most disturbing episodes of Joseph Stalin's rule. A story of paranoia, fabricated accusations, antisemitism, political terror, and the extraordinary irony that the man who accused his doctors of trying to kill him would die without access to the doctors who could have saved him.
