Stalin's chef de cabinet, Alexander Poskrebyshev, thirty-nine, who scuttled round the garden at Zubalovo delivering the latest paperwork. Small, bald, reddish-haired, this bootmaker's son from the Urals had trained as a medical nurse, conducting Bolshevik meetings in his surgery. When Stalin found him working in the Central Committee, he told him, "You've a fearsome look. You'll terrify people." This "narrow-shouldered dwarf" was "dreadfully ugly," resembling "a monkey," but possessed "an excellent memory and was meticulous in his work."
