It doesn’t appear to be true.
In a book review “‘Stalin’s Daughter’ by Rosemary Sullivan ” there is a brief mention of the chicken story;
“Stalin’s brutality was no secret. Svetlana told friends that the only person her father ever feared was his own mother. A bizarre story involving Stalin plucking a live chicken may or may not have been apocryphal. With Stalin, it was hard to tell.”

A 1988 New Yorker article attributes the story to the mid-1980s writings of anti-Stalinist Soviet author Chingiz Aitmatov:
“With the new Party line established, editors around the country unleashed an extraordinary torrent of articles damning Stalin. A novelist named Chingiz Aitmatov wrote one of the most powerful. Aitmatov has a distinguished history as an anti-Stalinist. In the early nineteen-eighties, when discipline of all kinds was lax, he managed to get past the censors a novel called “The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years,” which in elliptical, allegorical ways, attacked the Stalinist legacy, and sold five million copies. Now Aitmatov was free to use language as blunt as he liked. “He began with [the chicken] anecdote:
Even if anecdotal …. it doesn’t take away from the truth of the “lesson”. I think it’s a terrific meme, because it’s so true.
Brilliant graphical analogy.
It’s amazing many don’t understand we’re being bribed with our own money controlled by greedy sociopathic politicians who don’t give a damn about their own citizens. You might dislike Trump but his actions have managed to highlight the corruption and collusion of the American political Establishment at all levels.
If they’re giving away money I’m buying ammo.
Buying ammo as well, if I can get it
Yeah…good luck, it’s gone. 9mm ball was $0.25 per round, now $0.60-$1.00 on line, it’s not in any stores in rural Tennessee, well, not in my area.
Evidence of American stupidity, here is some math, courtesy of D. Orlov:
“74 million votes for Trump plus 81 million votes for Biden gives us 155 million votes total. But there were only 153 million registered voters just two years ago, so that’s 101% voter turn-out. And then 160 million are said to have voted, so that’s 103% turn-out! Compare that to 55.7% turn-out in the 2016 election.”
Huh.
Best of Luck

Kinda like the school bully taking your lunch money then throwing you a nickel back and telling you to go buy yourself a carton of milk.
I’ll take the Bills for 20000 Alex.
Exactly like that. With most imbeciles taking the opportunity to whine to their friends (behind the bully’s back) that the bully should have given back a dime. (i.e., “$600 isn’t enough soon-to-be-worthless fiat currency, we demand $2,000” — with not a one standing up and bloodying the bully’s nose).
America is lost.
Now $2000 thanks to Trump, but no one is happy because of it, given the destruction wrought by this plandemic….
THANKS?!?!
Where’s the money come from? What IS Money? Welfare with inflated fiat dollars is nothing to be thankful for.
Thanks to Trump? The guy who took the debt to GDP ratio from under 100% right up to 130% in 4 years? Whe
In a few weeks, if nothing changes by the Evil Fuckers, Amerikanskis will have their own Unkle Joe!*
