It guess it's well known as well that first time Stalin spoke on the radio,
July 2, 1941 --- immediately after the Nazi invasion and obviously also the
first time most people had heard his voice --- ordinary Russians were
shocked by his strong Georgian accent, which to people in (say) Leningrad
must have sounded totally foreign(?)

A friend I just spoke to about this says he finds Stalin's accent charming.
