That’s not the best part, the best part is that they didn’t help him right away because they feared retribution.

Where's the signature explanation, Pug?

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.

No rest for the wicked. Just wallowing in piss.
