Museum of Communist Terror
United Kingdom
Приєднався 3 тра 2018
The Museum of Communist Terror aims to inform and educate about the deaths and terror that have taken place in Communist regimes.
We are recording video testimonies from people who were directly affected or who have particular knowledge of the regimes. These testimonies are being edited to make short films which can be shown on social media where they can potentially reach large audiences, particularly on Twitter and Facebook. The video on Holodomor featuring Anne Applebaum has been viewed a total of over 70,000 times. This UA-cam channel has been created so that all the videos can be seen in one place. More will be published in the coming months.
The testimonies will also be available to use in exhibits and ultimately in the museum which we hope to create. We are also acquiring artefacts. We are seeking letters and objects which help tell the story. We have some speakers who are available to give talks in in schools and universities.

Photos of innocent people about to be executed - The Great Terror in the Soviet Union.
These are people who were executed soon after these photographs were taken. The pictures were taken by the NKVD, the Soviet secret police during the Great Terror of 1937-38. At the moment the photographs were taken, many of them will have understood or suspected that they would soon be shot. All the individuals shown were "rehabilitated" 15 or more years after their execution. In other words, none of them was guilty of any crime. The Great Terror was part of the way Stalin maintained the power of the Communist Party and himself. People were encouraged to denounce each other. Sometimes they denounced others out of malice. Sometimes they did so out of fear that otherwise they would be denounced themselves. Local officials had to fulfill quotas of executions. They would sometimes exceed their quotas - killing yet more innocent people - In order to demonstrate their loyalty to the party.

"One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" caused a sensation when it was published in the Soviet Union. But how did a book which exposed the brutal nature of the Gulag get to be published at all? It was such dynamite that it had to be approved by the top man himself: the First Secretary of the Communist Party, Nikita Khrushchev. But first, it had to reach him. Giles Udy tells the story of how th...

How do we know they were innocent?
As stated at the end of the video, all these individuals were "rehabilitated" after Stalin's death. In other words, it was officially confirmed by the government that they had not committed a crime.
Thing is that Winnie the Pooh wants to be that dog Mao.

…my grandfather was one of them; arrested in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) in 1937 and executed few days later. Among half a million people executed only this one year in Leningrad.
Rehabilitated not exonerated, it looks like the government has a ways to go.
The kind of society the woke left wants to impose on the West. Already taking shape in the UK as we speak.
What a brilliant talk , thanks.
Beware of the couple of tankie trolls in this comment section, praising the supposed benefits of communism: they are probably party members who live much better than the rest of the citizens jnder the boot of communism. I know because two family members from Moldova were party members.
CCP today likes to put the blame on cutural revolution for 1 .2 million Tibettans deaths ( one sixth of the population) but let me tell you most of them died during the invasion in the 1950s. Cultural revolution came only in the 1960s
Communism itself is a very dangerous system. In some counties it wasn't so hard but dangerous. I've experienced it. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!
The Gulag Archipelago volumes expose communism for what is really is. Those are life changing books. However, it seems few have learned the hard lessons of the 20th century, those paid in blood, and willingly buy the lies still today. What uneducated fools we have in the West.
The world still does not understand of the Real Nature of Communist, how evil and corrupt can be.
Coming to the USA from MAGA 2025
Stalin wanted ppl to denounce ea. other? Well that is what happened during the pandemic, snitch lines were set up so a friend , relative or neighbor could call a hotline and inform the authorities about a misdeed they saw committed. So it has already started here in America. We have to be alert & not vote for politicians who support this.

Stalin killed over 15 million people but almost nobody knows that. Its always about the 6 million......
Stalin murdered well over 20 million of his own people in the name of communism!
Marx didn't say anything about killing people. The URSS was a dictatorship.

Abaninath Mukherjee was an Indian Communist in Russia. He cofounded the Communist Party of India (Tashkent Group). But was shot on 28 Oct 1937. Soviet Union acknowledged his death only in 1955.
¡Viva Stalin! Héroe de los trabajadores. Por mucho que le tiren toneladas de mentiras sobre su tumba seguiremos defendiendo a quién desarrolló la Unión Soviética y mejoró enormemente el nivel de vida de la población, aplastó al fascismo y salvaguardó la revolución de los enemigos del pueblo. Que no se note que os financia el Tío Sam.
Это типо как то должно обличать коммунизм или что?
Never forget the scourge of collectivism and communism.
Wow they fund soviet union and they blame soviet union (namely German Empire is the prime reason soviet union appear in the first place bcs they literally funded the revolution)
Watch Europa the last battle
А минусы будут?
War gods would of taken it all back from Stalin Hitler Churchill pol pot ECT..kind of a empty vessel after it's gone. Something the victims were spared. Live die then fade away is put to them.
This was called the Holodomor and it was carried out by bolshevik jews... stalin didnt lift a weapon he gave the orders
The question is who developed and implemented idea of communism in Russia as such. It was not Russians.
What EVIL EXISTED AND TILL THIS DAY SATAN IS IN CONTROL OF RUSSIA…. But not for long…
This is nothing to compare what happened in gulags !!!
More Russians died under Stalin than under Hitler. Gulag, Sibgulag, Nazi tragedy and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Europeans did not know all these tragedies, since there was an “Iron Curtain” in the USSR...
Commies will say this is AI generated or something. Anything but admitting they're wrong by supporting a criminal ideology.

Настало время сальных 🐷 историй ... от дядюшки Сэма😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 give me a break lol. What they fail to mention is how many of these people were guilty of treason, what crimes they committed, how many of them were working with the nazis and the oss to overthrow the government. How many of them were white army hold outs still plotting against the government? None of these things are ever mentioned, just Stalin committed mass murder. And theres literally and absolutely no way the number of people executed was anywhere near as high as they say because the population grew during Stalin's premiership minus 1941-1945. So answer how the population grows when there was a mass genocide of "80 million" people as they say. The fact a communist state went from a backwards, autocracy with no schools, doctors, roads, nothing for its people other than war to an industrial, 1st world, super power that was first in space in less than 40 years kills western elites because they know if people actually knew what can be accomplished they would lose their power.
So how many were executed under Stalins regime?...and what are your sources?
@@michaelfourie345 Depends on how many people wanted to over throw the government. I'm sure that is easy to get a number on. And my sources are the lack of sources for his "murders". All people can show is names and photos. You never show evidence of what they did. When you show me actual evidence Stalin murdered millions, we'll talk. Yes people were killed during the beginning of his premiership, there was a lot of shit going on from the revolution to the Civil War, WWI ended casuing problems. There was a lot of turmoil going on a lot of people wanting to take advantage of the what they thought was weakness. Stalin showed them, he nor the USSR was weak.
No al comunismo
El comunismo no existe más, a ver si dejamos de hablar tanta pavadas, no soy de izquierda, pero el socialismo, no es comunismo.
