Stalin Joke No. 5 - not nice

It is 1944, and a soviet general has been discussing his campaign with Stalin. As he walks away from the meeting, a guard in the corridor hears him mutter, "Idiot!" 

He marches into Stalin's office and reports what he has heard. Stalin thanks him, orders him to wait in the office, and rings the guard at the gate with instructions to escort the general back. The general enters, and Stalin asks him, "Who were you referring to as an idiot?"

"Hitler, of course."

Stalin turns to the guard. "And who did you think he was referring to?"
