Quote by Harry S Truman
I got very well acquainted with Joe Stalin, and I like old Joe! He is a decent fellow. But Joe is a prisoner of the Politburo.
Summary
This quote refers to the speaker's personal experience with Joseph Stalin, complimenting him as a likable and decent person. However, the quote suggests that Stalin's actions and decisions are influenced by the Politburo, indicating that despite his positive qualities, he is limited in his ability to act independently. This implies a lack of freedom or autonomy for Stalin due to the constraints imposed by his position and the collective decision-making body of the Politburo.
