Where's the signature explanation, Pug?
Go watch The Death of Stalin
I can only offer slightly more context than the meme itself!
Stalin was found a day after his stroke (as he was notoriously irritable about being disturbed when in private) on the floor of his room; still alive but only semi-conscious, he was found in a puddle of his own piss. He was then moved to a bed and given medical attention - he clung to life for a few more days and then died.
That'll do, Pug, that'll do.

And Steve Buscemi was involved? I learn so much today!
