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.
