On the level of shear mistakes, I think the thing where he ordered his bodyguards to ignore all signs of distress from his apartments and would test them by screaming and fire them if they broke in to save him was a huge mistake. As prove d by the fact that when he had a stroke it took over 12 hours before anyone dared break in to help him.

by "they" you mean soviet intelligence and the british who tried to warn stalin that some thing was up but stalin thought it was either 1) "english provocation" or 2) everyone was lying to him for some other reasons. he was fervently in denial about a 1941 war and actively hinder soviet attempts to prepare for it cuz it would have being "provocation".
also funnily enough like the night before barbarossa kicked off this german communist guy in the wehrmacht literally ran to the soviets screaming about how his units had marching orders for the next day and stalin was like "obvsly english double agent" and had him shot for trying to trick him. like when german tanks literally started invading he was going "oh maybe it's a rogue general or something no way hitler knows about this!"
