“Death solves all problems – no man, no problem.” – Anatoly Rybakov
A historical note on the quote "No man, no problem" attributed to Stalin. The actual source for the quote is the 1987 novel Children of the Arbat by Anatoly Rybakov. In part 3, chapter 9 of the book a character named Berezin remembers Stalin's words to him in 1918 about former Tsarist army officers who have been sentenced to death: "Death solves all problems: no man, no problem".
In his memoir , The Novel of Memories , Rybakov admitted that he had no sources for such a quote so while frequently credited to Stalin it is actually a fictional quote.
