Stalin Body double/ juggler dancer

April 14, 2008

Felix Dadaev was a was a dancer and a juggler that was forced to work as a body double for Joseph Stalin. He feared a death sentence for half a century before finally coming forward with his story. his duties mostly included nonspeaking parts, however he was also sent to a hospital as Stalin’s corpse at one point while still alive. He was in his twenties but with the use of makeup was able to appear in his sixties (Stalin’s age at the time).
