Stalin 'used secret laboratory to analyse Mao's excrement'Apparently Stalin maintained an extensive network of informers and stool-pigeons. Did they keep samples in storage? I am imagining new opportunities in the fiercely-competitive Celebrity Fecal Transplant market.
According to Russian newspaper reports, in the 1940s Stalin's secret police had set up a special department to get its hands on people's faeces.
The ambitious aim: to analyse samples of foreign leaders' stools.
