1. Neighbourhood Babushka
2. Tito
3. Stalin

1. A friend

2. Her grandfather, a recipient of the Stalin Prize

3. J.V. Stalin

Friend’s parent met Fidel

Fidel met Khrushchev

Khrushchev met Stalin

So, four. I think.

4. Without providing too much personal info, I’m connected to Golda Meir, who was Israel’s USSR ambassador in the 50s.

1. Person I met at a concert

2. Concert person's grandmother was a Chinese neuroscientist and received some kind of science prize

3. Mao Zedong

4. Stalin

Stalin shook my hand, liberals.

15+ at least due to the nature of the exercise i wouldn't rule it out entirely but i have no idea how

4. george bush
   idk how far george bush is from stalin

1: Alex Trebek

3: Pierre Trudeau

4: Nikita Khrushchev

5: Stalin

I'm not totally sure that Tebek and Trudeau shook hands ever, but they were both active in public facing roles in Ottawa at the same time.

1: Joe Biden

2: Jimmy Carter

3: Brezhnev

4: Khrushchev

5: Stalin

I’m like 95% sure there’s a shorter path in there I just don’t know who those people actually met

4 possibly 5. My grandpa via Georgi Dimitrov to Stalin

I'm two steps from Kollontai, so it can't be that far off.

Without identifying info, I had a great-uncle in the Panthers; so probably 5~9 shakes?

Just guessing that these people probably shook hands: Lt Governor > Senator from state during Lt Gov’s term > direct predecessor in Senate who was in office during FDR’s terms > FDR > Stalin

no more than 5, i would guess. i once shook hands with a career diplomat, a professional hand-shaker of the geopolitical elite if there ever was one. they certainly shook hands with albright, powell, and rice, and any one of them could've shaken hands with someone who shook hands with stalin, so maybe as little as 4.

Idk but i'd guess fewer than ten.

Also looooooooooool i gaurantee you that the general population is not five kevin bacons away from Stalin. Hahahahahahahahahahahah

I think I'm three from Putin. So maybe five or six that route.

I think 3: My grandpa, FDR, Stalin.

Guy in my country's national parliament -> Kissinger -> Mao -> Stalin

1. Some local politician who was in the same room when I gave some presentation

2. Some Congresswoman

3. Ancient Congressman named John Dingell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dingell

4. Eisenhower (Eisenhower's and Dingell's terms overlap and they've almost certainly would've rubbed shoulders at least once. Plus, it's extraordinarily unlikely Dingell would've skipped all 6 State of the Union addresses Eisenhower would've given)

5. Stalin

Edit:

I suddenly remember being in the same room as Stephen Hawking one time. If being in the same room without having that person acknowledge your existence counts, it's

1. Stephen Hawking

2. Queen Elizabeth II

3. George Marshall

4. Stalin
