Dictator Stalin himself is not exactly educated, speaks no language except Russian, has to look up places like "Portugal" in a dog-eared atlas. He knows well enough that General Bubnov was expelled from the Moscow School of Agriculture 26 years ago as a "dangerous radical" and has had little or no formal education...
