31:47 Did anyone get the impression that when Stalin saying he’d personally have us well taken care of, he was basically saying in a subtle way “you’ve outlived your usefulness, time to die”?
Didn't occur to me, frankly. After all, Stalin was in a festive mood. The real Stalin wouldn't have done it, because the country needs its heroes. The real Stalin literally was in that situation regarding Zhukov, he was paranoid Zhukov would use his popularity and standing in the military to overthrow him. Which he solved by assigning Zhukov to positions where he could do little harm, but at no point did Stalin ever seriously consider offing Zhukov.
@@anderskorsback4104 It's a mix of both historically. It should be noted that by the time he died, the USSR was full of war heroes yet Stalin was yet again planning a purge. Stalin always executed those who've been near him long enough. Even if they didn't amass power or had influence, he'd kill them after a period no matter how useful. In Zhukov's case, he was not only popular but a capable threat. The only reason Stalin didn't kill him and garnish his reputation afterwards was because he had a legitimate fear that a war would break out again and need him once more.
Change Stalin with Putin and you have today’s situation on Putin’s ambition and handling of the people that serve him. Putin would even see it as compliment
I've often wondered if the Soviet Commander is in fact a member of Nod which would explain why Kane keeps you alive and no explanation is given to you about Nods existance. Not to mention that it'd be just like Kane to get his best commander in the right place with the report that Stalin says "should prove useful."
You probably are, Kane intention from the start was to weaken Europe by influencing Stalin to invade the east. Everyone else from the soviet leadership died except you, so it's highly probable that you were a undercover Nod operative.
I don’t think so. The commander is you, the player. You can infer Kane is cooking some sht, but you don’t know what he really is up to. You get invited into the brotherhood in the end.
Hell no, at that point Kane and his lackeys had burnt every bridge leading to negotiating some sort of truce. Leaving YO ASS with no other option to keep your Geographic Thesaurus of enemies at bay outside the threat of annihilation until the Brotherhood disposed of you shortly after the Tiberium meteor crashes into the Earth
No, he wasn't. He suppose to have the Georgian accent. But he hadn't neither Georgian nor Russian accent. The brilliant was Nadia. Her accent sounds perfectly Russian😂. Beleive me, I know what I say
Nadia: The Allies have attacked the Komensk nuclear reactor. Kukov: I'm on my way. Nadia: No, it's too important. [speaks to the player] You go. If I were in Kukov's place, I'd feel insulted that Nadia believes a rookie field commander is more capable of handling the situation than an experienced General of his caliber. 🙂
Well two things. 1 they are both Captains at that point but one was more about guard duty and the other with a track record of success. 2 autocracies of all stripes are weakened by cronyism.
When i played Red Alert for the first time around 20 years ago, when i heard the town name Toruń, it gave me shivers. Its a town i lived very close to.
All things considered, the player character is probably on the verge of Hell as the campaign ends... 1. Their army is overextended because a campaign that should have taken a year was pushed to conclusion in just a few months, due to petty reasons like Stalin's Birthday and his obsession with the Chronosphere. 2. Because of Stalin's purges (and the deaths of every other named character) they have been handed a massive responsibility to handle almost entirely on their own, with no one to delegate to. 3. The entire western world (and probably everyone else) seriously hates your guts due to the dozens of war crimes on your resume; the only diplomacy you'll engage in from then on is via threat, and most of your army is tied up pacifying Europe. 4. Unless Kane goes public (he won't; he's too smart for that) everyone will assume you seized leadership by force. You have NO legitimacy beyond _"might makes right",_ so it will be a free for all as the "glorious Soviet Empire" tears itself apart over scraps of power. 5. Don't flatter yourself into thinking Kane gives a $#@% about you; you're just another Nadia to him. Heck, he sacrificed millions of lives just to exploit the resulting chaos. I imagine you'll be spending many sleepless nights waiting for the moment he decides you're just another loose end (a moment that _will_ come eventually). In short, the only thing worse than living in hell... is actually needing to _rule_ it.
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook The world of C&C 1 is closer to the real mid-1990s, Russia being relatively weak and close to the West under Yeltsin which was why it was in GDI. China was in the midst of the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis with tense relations with the US, probably why it was said to side with Nod. Afghanistan, Libya, Iran, Sudan, Iraq, North Korea and Syria being considered Nod affiliated was understandable. I think Generals was closer to the Soviet ending of Red Alert 1. In the Soviet ending, The Soviet ends up in a Cold War with US and Communist China might chose to side with the US like in the 1980s for fear of Soviet hegemony or ideological difference after Stalin's death, making the Sino-Soviet split happened earlier. The Soviet having to hold Europe after being exhausted by the war and being in Cold War with both the US and China collapsed with worse condition than real life. Europe and Russia was still recovering from the collapse in the time of Generals, which explained the relative lack of European and Russian military in Generals, as well as strong Chinese influence in Central Asia.
I think the reason Kane shot Nadia was to legitimize the player as the successor to Stalin. Stalin was poisoned and then shot by Nadia several times, Kane shooting Nadia removed any other witnesses, but the player and Kane. A story could be spun that the player, a war hero, avenged Stalin by killing his assassin, considering it was the word of a war hero and Stalin's advisor nobody thought to question it. The only relevant Western power left by that time would probably be only the US and ANZAC, many of "everyone else" would be too busy overthrowing European colonial rule.
@@joshg8053This headcanon outcome makes extreme sense, and is basically the antithesis of how the Allied ending may have led to Red Alert 2+Yuri's Revenge, which will still lead to Tiberian Dawn.
"No legitimacy besides "might makes right"" In reality Political Authority (of any kind) stems from Force (aka might or violence). Different regimes may use it capriciously or vicariously, but it all comes down to the same thing. Force (Violence) is the supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
I like how, until the very end, no one actually addresses Kane directly. He does something, and then everyone carries on as if absolutely nothing happened.
It's fun to try and fit the timelines together. But if Kane was there, why didn't NOD have the powers and technology of the chronospere and the iron curtain?
@@THEZOD True... But after Red Alert they should have been able to grab him, unless he is killed. And the Iron Curtainprogram is not his work. I also have a minor theory of my own. Out timeline is timeline 0 and in it Kane fails because Hitler is not manipulated by him so that is why he instruct a high level nodmember (Albert Einstein) to find a way to remove him from history.

Because the Tiberium games are literally another, unrelated timeline. It's sometimes suggested that the RA timeline is based on an Allied RA1 victory and the Tiberium timeline on a Soviet RA1 victory. And while it's a fancy way to tie everything together, there are just too many discrepancies.

10:21 Is Japan part of the allied force or something? Never thought i would see a scene where a Yamato class battleship being in the hands of the allies.
According to the C&C wiki: ''Since Adolf Hitler was erased from the timeline, Japan never became a member of the Axis-powers in the Red Alert timeline. Japan's involvement in the Second World War and the Third World War is unconfirmed. It is assumed to have been affiliated with the Allies in both conflicts. During the Third World War, Japan presumably helped the Allies, repulsed by the Soviet offensive in the Pacific. As well as the historical allegiance with powers like the UK and France. ''
It can be easily assumed that the Allies (and also the United States) may have been forced to create an iteration of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces as an emergency power on Asian interests during the Second World War; just imagine Type 97 Chi-Ha tanks nervously guarding the borders against far more advanced and bigger Soviet Heavy Tanks. Either way, in case the Allied ending became the war's outcome, Korea may have been given superpower rights for the Asian front as an aside to the still beaten Japan.
Question about Red Alert's origins. Has Kane always been around before Prof. Einstein changed the timeline history? Or did Kane appear after the timelines were disrupted?
Kane exists in both timelines, Tiberian Dawn/ Red Alert are not in the same timeline while still being intertwined. He is Kane from the biblical Cain and Abel. possibly immortal too.
@@meathead6155 its possible but since you dont see NOD anymore or Kane in the other Red Alert games you have to assume that the Allied ending keeps on the Red Alert timeline going. while the Soviet ending is the Tiberium timeline since NOD becomes more powerful in that ending.
@@cool3865 I don't want to ruin your party although BOTH Allied and Soviets endings leads to Tiberian Dawn. For the fan theory of Allied ending leads to RA2 was a biggest misconception while Soviet ending leads to Tiberian Dawn which is unclear. If you look carefully at the RA Allied ending you notices that everything from Kremlin was already ruined and most USSR forces surrendered. Not a sign of any Soviets who wanted truce with the Allied Forces. While the Soviet ending, Soviet becomes victories defeating the Allied leaving Stalin and his comrades dropping like dead flies then Kane become the superior >:). However, why we don't see Nod and Kane in the Allied cutscenes? Well because they need to hide from the radar until when their time is right aka Tiberian Dawn. They can't be revealed or else their plot would be ruined or else Tiberian Dawn can't be born. It's impossible the Allied track them down because they never heard who are the Brotherhood of Nod are. Presumably BOTH RA endings leads to Tiberian Dawn. For the fan theory like Soviets ending leads to Tiberain Dawn, somebody already made a fun custom campaign aka From the Ashes. If you want to think that RA Allied victory leads Red Alert 2, that was caused by Yuri who was being sucked into a Chrono Vortex which caused by a GDI soldier who accidentally activated the Chronosphere during a cancelled C&C Incursion by Westwood. Sadly that game was cancelled. :(
Technically yes, but he likely was thinking she's a convenient fallgirl to set the player's character up as Chairman. After all: to be the man whom "avenged" Stalin by killing his assassin; quite a good way to secure the top job. Meanwhile Kane is behind the scenes, pulling strings and planning for the future.
In my headcanon (which is contrary to many fans), this would have nicely led to Generals+Zero Hour... which then inevitably leads to Tiberian Dawn, not unlike how the Allied ending was supposed to lead to Red Alert 2, by which the timeline reset of its expansion pack Yuri's Revenge will then still lead to Tiberian Dawn.
Generals take place in a different timeline unlike in Tiberian war. Also the RA1 Allied ending still leads to Tiberian Dawn. Also speaking of RA2 through Yuri Revenge and then Tiberain Dawn. That idea was based of Renegade 2.
@@meathead6155 I do still admit that Generals being set on an unconnected universe from both continuities seems off. I would say it's set in a universe where Albert Einstein mysteriously disappeared in the end of WW2, but still, making it an interquel for between TD and either RA2: YR's Allied ending or RA1's Soviet ending has more of an effect. True, Renegade 2 and Tiberian Incursion never came to pass, but honestly, the lore from those cancelled titles actually make the C&C games have more sense and brilliancy because of the interconnectivities.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Probably in the end, my thought what happened to Einstein at the end of WW2. He might passed away due to health issues which he can't live any longer. For RA Yuri Allied Ending and Soviet ending except RA2 Soviet ending especially the YR style one still leads to Tiberian Dawn aka Renegade 2 a prequel leads to Tiberian Dawn and Renegade.
@@meathead6155 I personally felt like the Generals timeline takes place in the same timeline in Einstein's timeline (original Einstein). Red Alert takes place in a timeline where Hitler doesn't exist. Original Einstein went to 1924 to remove Hitler, then went back to his timeline, while the new timeline continued on, hence why Einstein is very different from his intro self. Simple version: Prime timeline: Einstein goes back in time, removes Hitler, goes back to his time, passes away, and Generals happens in this timeline. Red Alert timeline: Hitler died in 1924, Germany doesn't fall into Nazism, Stalin starts World War 2 against the Allies. This can lead to RA2 and RA3, or the Tiberium timeline depending on if the Tiberium hits Earth (and maybe who won World War 2) Shorter version: Multiverse theory is a bitch.
The first moment i noticed kane walkin in to whisper into stalins ear... I couldnt stop laughin and said out loud: oh common this dude is a the best nine lives cat pro i ever seen.... Little did i knew i werent wrong cuz in many c&c"s kane always been the main opposition I really loved how he at the end says his quote...with a big sneaky smile
I like how the first C&C games had a more dark, and serious tone compared to the games that would come later. The later games were okay but the stupid cartoon atmosphere they went with really hurt the games that followed.
1:01 when Gradenko says the gas is already being produced Stalin gives him a look that goes on just a half-second too long and the meaning is so clear - great moment 32:42 not so much lol, if you were just going to shoot him what was the point of the poison
8:58....."Do what you must, for the People!" In other-words, war crimes are excused aha. When me and my friends were at school we would always emphasise "For the People!" and laugh - ahh carefree days!! 😂😂
Remember, some people say Red Alert was never serious. That it was always about comedy and hot babes. That is why the very first mission involves the killing of civilians and children, cause it was never serious.
Yeah i never understood that whole "red alert is funny" trope either. Red alert 2 and the expansion was pretty campy and silly but yeah RA1 was probably just as dark and gloomy as the tiberium story. RA 1 and 2 are still awesome games though.
The series was always a joke, this game right here is a dark comedy, and the one with Jim Curry is just straight up silly because this universe that the games take place in are outright silly. Both of which (the dark comedy and the straight silliness I greatly appreciate).
It’s kind of sad to say that there really are few and far between actors in English that have ever portrayed Stalin. This one stands out and is excellent, but if you’ve ever heard Stalin’s real voice and seen his real stature, you’ll understand that even we in the west see him in the flattering propaganda image he wanted us to.
As americans, we do our jobs and that is it. We can see there doesn't seem to be much of a separation between the military's duty and their personal issues, which might be the main cause for them to destroy Soviet projects we probably wished to keep (except for the military bomb), but all it matters is that we do our duty. We're the good guys after all, so what does it matter if we disagree with this and that ? As Soviets, we get recognition and payment for our jobs, we get both American and Russian projects, only the competent generals remain as efficiency is prioritized... But at what cost ? So many lives lost and betrayal after betrayal... Is this the glory you want to bathe yourself in ?
The American will join the battle in Red Alert not until Retaliation Expansion Pack. Although they only conduct Covert Operations during the Allied Campaign.
Also the victory parade on tv Stalin is watching around 12:30 isn't a victory parade, but the celebration of the first of May, international worker's day.
When I was 13, Kane was the man I wanted to be when I grew up. Great stuff. Though this is (Obv) a fictional game, it is a perfect depiction of how lucky the world was in WWII; Socialist Germany & Socialist Russia fighting each other spared the world. If they remained loose allies or became close, the world wouldn't stand a chance.... but also, the greater evil won (the bolsheviks) while the lesser evil was wiped out (the NSDAP). *EDIT:* Hah. Looks like I 'triggered' some fefs from reddit/X but it's to be expected. They are hardcore leftists (socialists) and don't like to be reminded what that means.
I think he was planning to decapitate the Soviet Union and accelerate its collapse. Europe would serve the Brotherhood better as a collection of destroyed failed states than as a powerful vassal empire.

Not a sign of any Soviets who wanted truce with the Allied Forces. While the Soviet ending, Soviet becomes victories defeating the Allied leaving Stalin and his comrades dropping like dead flies then Kane become the superior >:). However, why we don't see Nod and Kane in the Allied cutscenes? Well because they need to hide from the radar until when their time is right aka Tiberian Dawn. They can't be revealed or else their plot would be ruined or else Tiberian Dawn can't be born. It's impossible the Allied track them down because they never heard who are the Brotherhood of Nod are. Presumably BOTH RA endings leads to Tiberian Dawn.
For the fan theory like Soviets ending leads to Tiberain Dawn, somebody already made a fun custom campaign aka From the Ashes. If you want to think that RA Allied victory leads Red Alert 2, that was caused by Yuri who was being sucked into a Chrono Vortex which caused by a GDI soldier who accidentally activated the Chronosphere during a cancelled C&C Incursion by Westwood. Sadly that game was cancelled. :(

He barely says anything but he gives me the creeps.
Palpatine: "I am the Senate"
Kane: "I am the Future"
*KANE LIVES!*
@@elgusaniiiodeljuego6823 dude that's crazy when you put both of them together.
@@foxwolf316Kane is the Palpatine of the C&C franchise.
I'm surprised that Kane offed Nadia, wouldn't she be useful as a puppet ruler of the Soviet Union?
Technically yes, but he likely was thinking she's a convenient fallgirl to set the player's character up as Chairman.
After all: to be the man whom "avenged" Stalin by killing his assassin; quite a good way to secure the top job.
Meanwhile Kane is behind the scenes, pulling strings and planning for the future.
Nah that b itch is too loose to trust!
In my headcanon (which is contrary to many fans), this would have nicely led to Generals+Zero Hour... which then inevitably leads to Tiberian Dawn, not unlike how the Allied ending was supposed to lead to Red Alert 2, by which the timeline reset of its expansion pack Yuri's Revenge will then still lead to Tiberian Dawn.
Generals take place in a different timeline unlike in Tiberian war. Also the RA1 Allied ending still leads to Tiberian Dawn. Also speaking of RA2 through Yuri Revenge and then Tiberain Dawn. That idea was based of Renegade 2.
@@meathead6155 I do still admit that Generals being set on an unconnected universe from both continuities seems off. I would say it's set in a universe where Albert Einstein mysteriously disappeared in the end of WW2, but still, making it an interquel for between TD and either RA2: YR's Allied ending or RA1's Soviet ending has more of an effect.
True, Renegade 2 and Tiberian Incursion never came to pass, but honestly, the lore from those cancelled titles actually make the C&C games have more sense and brilliancy because of the interconnectivities.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Probably in the end, my thought what happened to Einstein at the end of WW2. He might passed away due to health issues which he can't live any longer. For RA Yuri Allied Ending and Soviet ending except RA2 Soviet ending especially the YR style one still leads to Tiberian Dawn aka Renegade 2 a prequel leads to Tiberian Dawn and Renegade.
@@meathead6155 I personally felt like the Generals timeline takes place in the same timeline in Einstein's timeline (original Einstein). Red Alert takes place in a timeline where Hitler doesn't exist. Original Einstein went to 1924 to remove Hitler, then went back to his timeline, while the new timeline continued on, hence why Einstein is very different from his intro self.
Simple version:
Prime timeline: Einstein goes back in time, removes Hitler, goes back to his time, passes away, and Generals happens in this timeline.
Red Alert timeline: Hitler died in 1924, Germany doesn't fall into Nazism, Stalin starts World War 2 against the Allies. This can lead to RA2 and RA3, or the Tiberium timeline depending on if the Tiberium hits Earth (and maybe who won World War 2)
Shorter version: Multiverse theory is a bitch.
1:46
Believe it or not, its canon, Stalin did have an affair with Valentina Vasilievna Istomina
Brings back alot of memories lol

German here who grew up with games like Red Alert. This was heavily censored in my Country, think I saw the orignial Version here just now
What was censored? Hitler? The USSR campaign?

From my point of view, killing Stalin was a mistake. He'd be the perfect puppet for Nod, especially since Kane seems to have him under control.

Before MicDrop was a thing, there was PipeDrop 😆
Gradenko is the best!
What is so important that you interrupt a private briefing, Gradenko?
The first moment i noticed kane walkin in to whisper into stalins ear...
I couldnt stop laughin and said out loud: oh common this dude is a the best nine lives cat pro i ever seen....
Little did i knew i werent wrong cuz in many c&c"s kane always been the main opposition
I really loved how he at the end says his quote...with a big sneaky smile
I like how the first C&C games had a more dark, and serious tone compared to the games that would come later. The later games were okay but the stupid cartoon atmosphere they went with really hurt the games that followed.
Comrade chairman.... I am the future
😏
1:01 when Gradenko says the gas is already being produced Stalin gives him a look that goes on just a half-second too long and the meaning is so clear - great moment
32:42 not so much lol, if you were just going to shoot him what was the point of the poison
In the name of Kane!!!!!
*KANE LIVES IN DEATH!*
27.53 I literally thought I had failed the mission! (Back in 1999 when I had first played this on Playstation hehe)
26:23 Is that the actual translation? I recognized that phrase from Hell March 2.
8:58....."Do what you must, for the People!" In other-words, war crimes are excused aha. When me and my friends were at school we would always emphasise "For the People!" and laugh - ahh carefree days!! 😂😂
Remember, some people say Red Alert was never serious. That it was always about comedy and hot babes. That is why the very first mission involves the killing of civilians and children, cause it was never serious.
Or the cutscenes from Tanya's Tale where the pervy Commie scumbag is torturing her
Yeah i never understood that whole "red alert is funny" trope either. Red alert 2 and the expansion was pretty campy and silly but yeah RA1 was probably just as dark and gloomy as the tiberium story. RA 1 and 2 are still awesome games though.
*Laughs in Yuri getting eaten by a T-Rex and Tim Curry going to space to escape Capitalism*
@@HolyknightVader999 He was talking about before the series became a joke
The series was always a joke, this game right here is a dark comedy, and the one with Jim Curry is just straight up silly because this universe that the games take place in are outright silly. Both of which (the dark comedy and the straight silliness I greatly appreciate).
24:20 Finland still stands up and FIGHT!!
It’s kind of sad to say that there really are few and far between actors in English that have ever portrayed Stalin. This one stands out and is excellent, but if you’ve ever heard Stalin’s real voice and seen his real stature, you’ll understand that even we in the west see him in the flattering propaganda image he wanted us to.
Kane lives!
Just for ironiclulz they shoulda gotten in Simon Templeman so we would have him be Kain[Legacy Of] and Kane[Lives in Death!] :D
And the only survivors of this campaign was the commander general and Kane
3:11 To Berlin.
As americans, we do our jobs and that is it. We can see there doesn't seem to be much of a separation between the military's duty and their personal issues, which might be the main cause for them to destroy Soviet projects we probably wished to keep (except for the military bomb), but all it matters is that we do our duty. We're the good guys after all, so what does it matter if we disagree with this and that ?
As Soviets, we get recognition and payment for our jobs, we get both American and Russian projects, only the competent generals remain as efficiency is prioritized... But at what cost ? So many lives lost and betrayal after betrayal... Is this the glory you want to bathe yourself in ?
Yes.
The U.S. used to be 'the good guys'. Not anymore.
The American will join the battle in Red Alert not until Retaliation Expansion Pack. Although they only conduct Covert Operations during the Allied Campaign.
@@blackops9operation75 and vs giant ants. Don't forget the anti-ant campaign effort.
@@Archedgar And ants to.
26:22 I thought in-game, that the chronosphere killed infantry
Nadia saves your bacon then gets discarded by Kane like nothing.
She spilled the beans too early. Kane still had work to do before the Tiberium meteor crashed into the Earth and kicked off World War 3
The acting's better than today's tv crap. lol
10:54 an American tries to pronounce one Russian word of 3 letters and fails 😂🤣
🤣
Also the victory parade on tv Stalin is watching around 12:30 isn't a victory parade, but the celebration of the first of May, international worker's day.
It’s crazy how much Stalin sounds like borat lol
Spoiler:
Everyone dies except Kane.
mig29 available for use since 1944 not '77. way way ahaed of it's time . Even in RA2 thare is one similar looking.
6:03 New England Patriots Eliminated
England is also a member of the Allied division.
When I was 13, Kane was the man I wanted to be when I grew up. Great stuff.
Though this is (Obv) a fictional game, it is a perfect depiction of how lucky the world was in WWII; Socialist Germany & Socialist Russia fighting each other spared the world. If they remained loose allies or became close, the world wouldn't stand a chance.... but also, the greater evil won (the bolsheviks) while the lesser evil was wiped out (the NSDAP).
*EDIT:*
Hah. Looks like I 'triggered' some fefs from reddit/X but it's to be expected. They are hardcore leftists (socialists) and don't like to be reminded what that means.
The Nazis were the lesser evil? Do you work for NATO?
@@saintmothra Of course because he thinks the Nazis were socialists.
Ya have to love Kane..... who wouldn't want to be Kane😊
Why did Kane kill Nadia?
I guess you can't really trust someone who can poison your coffee when your back is turned.
Nadia thought a different goal for the Brotherhood of Nod that Kane's real objective. He ofc was waiting for the Tib meteor to accomplish his plans.
@@Marshal_Rock At the end of the day, Nadia was a simple pawn in the grand scheme of things.
@@THEZOD indeed
I think he was planning to decapitate the Soviet Union and accelerate its collapse. Europe would serve the Brotherhood better as a collection of destroyed failed states than as a powerful vassal empire.
