Stalin was a great fund raiser through his bandit connections,he also was a great agitater and good judge of what peaple wanted, he was a revolutionary gangster in the right places at the right time.
Thank you for sharing such a great documentary.
Excellent 👍👍👍 work!! Love and respect from Hong Kong!!
The History Room I really love your channel! Thanks so much!
Yet we here in England still suffer overt claims from Labour Party fans of their Stalinist views and adulations I mean why does the final word on 20th century insane ideology always terminate in Berlin? These Bolshevik Communists outrank all vile and murderous societies hands down. Why employ their die-hard fan base to educate our children and dennounce any dissenters?
I implore we watch our children's education closely and stop using this 'site as it's a modern day bookburner, censoring all and sundry with aplomb.
Excellent! Thank You!! This is what the internet and UA-cam should be all about!!!
Amen!
Like the history channel use to be
"The internet should be about Stalin and nothing else."
I completely agree.
Hear hear! There is millions of our children wasting years by jangling and falling for similarly immature peoples amateur dramatics on here, filling empty minds, yutubes banks and the platform. With the world at their fingers they choose to stare at their navels..
The are excellent documentaries about Stalin and a few other dictators on a channel called Evolution of Evil.
Seriously thank you for putting these videos up. Ive been searching for post-WW2 Stalin docs and its not as abundant as one might think. Just thanks again.
Pretty amazing when you consider that he started out as a thuggish bank robber.
and ended a pyschotic mass killer who created a mass terror state.
Actually, he started out as a seminary student preparing for priesthood.
Started off a lot worst than that
Was damn near disable as a kid and was beat by his drunk father on the regular
His mother was a nun so his childhood wasn’t the best
A great documentary! Far better than the nonsense we get today with all the same popcorn talking heads, and the same information being repeated again and again after countless adverts. And none of those goddamn reinactments!
Difference between a quality British doc and American garbage reality tv.
@@danielshah3494 in America we dont call commercials,
"adverts".
Thank you Doctor. Great documentary . They were made much better years ago before infotainment was the fashion. Fascinating man, Stalin.
Fascinating man? Shocking is a better word.
a maniac though.
The man was evil incarnate.
A killer you mean, how many people he got rid off, a F. Animal
Excellent series - 'captivating' is exactly the right word - thank you so much for the upload.
Great stuff Dr Brown....it's amazing how even today there are many who have no idea as to how rotten this egg was. I was in Moscow last year and spoke with quite a few elderly who still mourn the tyrant. Better to eat under Stalin then to starve under Putin seemed to be the thought.
It almost boggles the mind to think that one single man could not only instill such fear, but who could bring about so much death and misery. Much of it not to further a cause or ideology, but just out of paranoia as to his position.
It's crazy Stockholm syndrome to the extreme.
It’s not Stockholm syndrome it’s the truth Stalins was no monster even the CIA admit this
Stalin's death orders were not made in red ink. They were made in coloured pencil; Stalin favoured red, green, and blue, which colours he used at random.
What an odd tidbit to know. Thank you
Mao may have even more blood on his hands than Stalin.... unbelievably!
Why is it that we're inundated with movies about Hitler, but virtually none about this monster?
Grigori Rasputin1990 That doesn’t sound like a good enough reason.
lol because Stalin defeated hitler
I think you know the answer to your question...
Stalin wasn’t defeated like Hitler, so censorship was/is much more prevalent.
Because he was a Communist...communism has been preached and promoted in Western society for decades...
NEVER EVER be the first person to stop clapping for Stalin.....
Thank you for having the courage to let comments be posted, I hate when they're disabled. Censorship is the reason why most people only have limited information that has been over processed and regurgitated to the point of stupidity.
Hi Lodona. This site is mainly for students worldwide to access quality video material, but unfortunately some genres of video attract ugly, obscene and off-topic remarks from some viewers. There are plenty of other sites where they can post their vitriolic comments, but I try and keep my channel a little bit above the gutter. Thanks - Alan.
@@oasis6767 Agreed.
@@oasis6767 I always regret looking at comments, especially for history documentaries. I spent a half a day trying to figure out how to just not see them, just disable them as a viewer but to no avail.
@@melaniec1074 Dont read the comments then...its REALLLYYYY simple, you just dont read them. Half the time I forget to even look at the comment section. It amazes me that intelligent human life has NOT figured this out. MOST comment sections under these vids are not bad at all, there may be some really low IQ people who make stupid comments, but again being an intelligent human being with a functioning brain, dont bother yourself with them. Half the time, its just someone trying to get a reaction from the unthinking people who irrationally respond with emotion rather than intelligence. But honestly, those of us that KNOW this, just don't give them what they want....a response. Easy.
@@Em22-wtf Reread Melanie's comment. It appears that she is/was watching UA-cam videos without realizing she could make the videos go to full screen to block out the comments. My mother had the same problem on her ipad till I showed her where to tap the screen. Different devices display the YT app and website in different ways. As on my Samsung tablet, Samsung phone, IPhone, iPad, Chrome browser, Safari browser, UA-cam is completely different. Not to mention the difference between YT Supreme app website and free UA-cam app and website. That said, it's been a year since her comment. I hope she has figured it out by now.
Another great uplaod from Dr. Alan Dr. Brown PhD (Dr.) Thanks
Exciting to actually see and hear Svetlana. I remember her being in the news as a very young girl.
“Koba” also used 2 female secretaries of Lenin’s to leak to him what was in Lenin’s Testimonial ( Will) then maneuvered to have the words changed to leave him in the General Secretaryship. I thought this was quite interesting. They missed so many chances to get rid of Stalin.
This is a remarkable series. Thanks for the upload.
Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Where has this site been all my life?? Very informative thank you hope it continues
The father and savior killed millions of his own people. It's amazing no one assassinated him. He's not in heaven I can guarantee you that. I won't compare America to that time in Russia but they have ways of making us feel free but keep people down but I'm glad I was born here..Thanks for the upload great documentary..God bless
Poor Gelovani's career as a film actor ended abruptly with Stalin's death. He was not needed to play the film role of Stalin due to Khrushchev's de-Stalinization and he naturally could not play any other roles - Soviet people would be confused.
Wow, thank you. Top documentary on historical persona. Well done. 👌
I love the cult of personality parts of dictators-- Stalin liked light comedy musicals.
Imagine if Kim Jong-Un watched the Avengers and started doing public photo montages wearing giant Infinity Gauntlets everywhere. Or if the Myanmar junta leaders all started dressing like Darth Vader. Or Xi as Voldemort
Stalin was a vengeful conspirator and murderous leader.But he was also 'normal' in many ways.He was convivial, solicitous and even flirtatious. When he wanted, he could be quiet a charmer. This duality has been underappreciated, but it helps to explain why Stalin was admired as well as feared by his associates-and indeed why his power endured to the end of his life.
definition of psychopath
well so was Hitler and pol pot and ted Bundy so that doesn't really make him any better
Thank you for the upload love your channel. Great documentaries.
My Opa is a survivor of Stalin's terror camps. At the end of the War he was liberated to (West) Germany- 16 years old, no money & a 4th grade education. When he passed in 2009, he left millions in assets, & more importantly, my awesome family. I only wish to live to be half the person he was, but hope he is proud of me.
Danke for giving me happy childhood memories, Opa. Ich liebe und vermisse dich, Karl Posner.
So... you are proud of someone who was a murderer. Who invaded a foreign country, kill and terrorized innocent people. Not much difference between your Opa and Stalin, just the scale of terror. Nothing to be proud of... and in addition, you want to be like him...
What's an opa?
It's his father or grandfather, I believe.
Kee Kee god bless my some of family was killed in the ww2 in Leningrad
Du darfst stolz sein auf dein opa.Und der wahrheit über diesen krieg kommt immer mehr ans tageslicht.Und wenn ich so ein kommentar lese wie hier unter abgegeben wird dan sind dar noch immer blinden unter uns.
Love Stalin. An utterly psychopathic misanthrope.
Thank you Dr Brown again for post-
I keep trying to find great videos about the U.K. code breaking.
The world does not need stalin-like again.HE IS A MURDERER! Simple.
Ok as someone who has studied this terrible dictator and Despot Stalin for more than 20 years, I have to say so many things in this film are untrue and very misleading. Though many storylines are factual some simple things said are meant to mislead the viewer. I won't go into major detail but I will give one. The implication that Stalin was not important and was just an acquaintance of Lenin and the quote "inner circle". This is just completely untrue. Stalin was in fact put in charge of Lenin's care during his last years and consolidated his power at that time as General Secretary. Stalin already had a firm grip on power through his office at least 1 year before Lenin died. My question is when was this Documentary made because I can give it a pass if it was made before 1993 or 1994 when the majority of the Soviet archives were made public by Yeltsin's government but if it was made after the mid 90s then exercise caution. Yes Stalin was a dictator who murdered MILLIONS and no one should justify him, or the Soviet Government that facilitated it, and even the ideological ideas it was built upon. But it does give some different perspectives on Stalin and his time in power.
Stalin basically muscled his way into power over Lenin’s care in his final days. It was not by overly willing consent.
But was he good looking enough to rule the ussr? That's the question. In his youth yes but he became rather rotund later on
Another great video, thanks Dr. Brown! :)
What’s this about Stalingrad being a whole new city built in his honour? It wasTsaritsyn renamed in his honour!!
@@TonyBustaroni Whereas Soviet propaganda did of course.
@@TonyBustaroni are you saying the “Western propaganda “ Is being harsh about Stalin and his atrocities against his people?
Stalin changed Tsaritsyn by creating the industrial areas,particularly to the North where the Red October tractor factory was situated.But yes you are correct that the city he added to was called Tsaritsyn.
Dude it literally states he CHANGED THE NAME OF THE CITY TO Stalingrad
I seen nothing in this stating it was completely new city
Remodel after the attacks YES
But never was stated to be a city completely built out of nowhere for him
Joe Stalin! A great guy & wonderful favorite of millions, the Fasinating Personality some of those SAME millions DIED competing with. He deserved a roast. He's getting one.
And a great kisser
The oppressed and tortured mourn so much for this tyrannical monster. Unbelievable.
Yeah, just maybe they weren't that much oppressed, don't you see a hint of a contradiction here?
20 million is the most conservative estimate I have heard... I cannot believe that there remain Stalin apologists...
20 million is the claim in the black book of communism and is essentially completely made up
The guy started from literally nothing
Idk about u but I respect that
Looking at his life story I understand why he choose the dark side
Stalin executed 700,000 people. 20 million is an absurd exaggeration
@@johnpablo2772 hahaha that’s an interesting perspective, but he consolidated and preserved his power through brutality, intimidation and the outright purging of mostly innocent Russian people. That’s not respectable in my opinion.
@@samlittle8378 agreed
The red ink thing is very telling.
Ghost Man what does it tell?
He was absolutely right to be paranoid. Only if he knew how baria and the likes of Nikita chruzchev did after his death he would be mortified .
good documentary thanks for the upload.
I born in Iraq 🇮🇶 saddam was same like Stalin every Thursday I was reading poems for saddam is at school becouse I was smart at school that time age 10 years old at home on the road in the book had saddam sis pictures
I'm glad to see that you made it through.
*I believe Mao Zedong can be seen with Stalin (along with Khruschev) at **7:03*
Stalins 70th birthday I do believe
That is correct. You get a kewpie doll if you can name the man behind Khrushchev.
@@svendbosanvovski4241 Tito?
two of the worst men in modern history posing for a picture . Very fascinating indeed
And Hitler.It is a matter of personal opinion who was the worst.Otherwise to say that because someone had 6 million killed was better because the other had 7 million.
whenever I start to feel my life should or could have been better all it takes is watching a documentary about life under a Stalin or a Hitler or having to fight at Stalingrad and that puts my "woes" in very proper perspective very quickly - works everytime!
im 37 and i dont have half of stalins hair! man he had great hair.
@jonny I am 28 and I am weeping here
And one hell of a mustache
He looked really gorgeous 😳😘
I know, right! Stalin had some kick ass hair
so did elvis lol
Thank you for uploading, enjoyed it very much
I laugh when she says "the picture in the Rolls Royce" . Tell me again how the Communists didn't have an *UPPER CLASS* !!!!!
What the Soviets tried to implement was never actually real communism its was a twisted Dictatorial Autocracy with the people thinking they were going to too be finally equal in some system. never happened.And your little rolls Royce comment should help show you how no one was ever equal.
0.00 - 0.10 - 'The bloodiest dictator of the 20th C' - Really? Even more than Mao..??
I would have thought those two were on a par?
Excellent documentary - many thanks.
Mao killed many times the number Stalin did.
Stalin even looks like Dracula in his coffin!
Why would I cry over a man who murder millions of people including my family?
Many would cry tears of joy that he was gone but the world in this nation treated people the same his ways continued.
Name this murdered family?! And how were you created if all of your family were killed?!
If your family was killed by Stalin safe to say I wouldn’t be here
Just because you’re Russian or whatever doesn’t mean your family was harm during this
Fascinating document:😊
"I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy"
- Joseph Stalin
My grandfather battled for Germany in Stalingrad. 250 000 German soldiers went to battle in Stalingrad, only 6 000 survived that hell.
My grandfather had nightmares ever since and swore to never touch a weapon again. He did never speak about the war, that says a lot about what he had witnessed there.
My other grandfather was a leader of the resistance in Belgium. He has helped to save around fifty Jewish families from the region of Colonia and hide them in caves in Antwerp until the liberation by the US army. He had a state funeral here in Belgium, one of the biggest honours you can have.
Thank you for sharing
So your grandfather was… a nazi?
A German saving 50 Jewish family???
I almost spit out my drink
If your grandpa was German he wasn’t no damn saint
What’s his name so I can look him up
People on UA-cam like to lie
So every single German was guilty? I don't believe that and I'm curious to hear what makes you think that all of em were guilty✌
if it wasn't for him,we may have lost WW2...
35:04 they should have included the Winter War, where Stalin attacked Finland and all the international consequences of his action.
maybe even earlier, when Finland attacked ? ))
@@tomson5608 are u a russian troll? Finland has never attacked anyone. Very noble and humble people just want to live in peace
It's weird, most of the talk about WW2 leaves out the Winter War and the Continuation War (both of which are really ever bit as much a part of WW2 as any other front) as if they never happened. Also, the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 gets omitted as if it never happened, beyond a cursory mention here and there.
@@bobshenix this is a three part series. So take a look at Stalin - the warlord. There you'll find your winter war in Finland. In this part it is about Stalin the Myth.
Thanks Alan!! Roll on parts two and three!!!
Welcome back! Its been a while.
The film emphasizes the difference between the real Stalin and "the myth" -- his public facade. I was struck by recent books on the new generation (the millennials) and how they are "forced" to put up a public image portrayed on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. Part of Stalin's success was the total and meticulous management of his facade. I wonder if this new generation with the false facades so deeply ingrown will produce new tyrants that dwarf the Hitlers and Stalins of the past.
pedzsan safe bet

This idea that the USSR was held together purely by fear is rubbish. The overwhelming majority of Russians supported socialism in its developing form, just as the majority of Germans loved the Fuhrer. They don't like to admit it now, but it's true.
What a guy, made the Nazis look like boy scouts.

Nonsense. The problem is paranoia.
The irony is that without him, Hitler couldn’t have been defeated. Both were horrific monsters.
The real irony is that without him, there would not have been a WW2.
He signed away half of eastern Europe in a non-agression pact (stating "no 2-front war for Hitler") and by so doing enabled two main things.
1) torpedoing Chamberlain's containment policy of Hitler
2) laying out the red carpet for Hitler to invade Poland
Chamberlain off course understood his peers in London.
London followed the age-old policy of Balance of Power for the continent.
That meant that Poland was a big no no....
His strategy for "Peace in our time" hinged on Stalin accepting the fact that Hitler was a crook and a proven liar, who didn't even stick to a treaty he had negotiated and signed himself.
Strange, that "smart" Stalin, did not know this, and negotiated and signed a deal anyway.
Maybe, Stalin had something else in mind....
Ralph Bernhard Good point. The more I watched this documentary, I was amazed to learn how close Stalin came to losing against Hitler, they were kilometers away from reaching Moscow. It’s a miracle there were enough troops to fight against the Nazis considering how many millions of people he starved and killed in Russia and Ukraine. The Holodomor went from fall 1932 to Spring 1933, (not even a year) and the amount of bodies that died day by day is astonishing.
@@ralphbernhard1757 Germany had already began its aggression even before the Nazi Soviet pact. Think Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia...all moves made without a pact with Stalin. Hitler was reckless, determined and filled with hubris and he was most likely going throw the gauntlet at Stalin by unilaterally invading Poland even without a pact. Stalin of course saw the pact as an opportunity to grab lost provinces of the Russian Empire and avenge the Poles for the 1920 land grab. But it also bought him time. Hitler was already on the path to war, even without the pact. He had already ordered the military to be rapidly expanded 5 years prior (1934), in preparation for a future apocalyptic showdown.
@@KienyejiChicken If one looks at a map, it becomes clear that Poland acted as a barrier between the SU and Nazi Germany.
As long as Poland remained intact, there *could be* no war.
Truth of the matter is that both Hitler and Stalin wanted war, and thought their respective nations were up to the task, and therefore carved up this barrier.
With Poland gone, or divided up, the 2 armies could face off...
That is a far more logical way of looking at "who started it?" than the typical loaded questions like "Who started WW2 by attacking Poland?"
The reality is that both Hitler and Stalin were not willing to avoid war any longer, and therefore both enabled it with the Secret Protocol to the N/A Pact. This Secret Protocol was the entire basis for the deal, and the "N/A Pact" was simply a cover story.
Simply a pretext which could be presented to the world as an explanation for what the 2 sides were up to in Moscow...
The "just buying time" excuses still made for Stalin today don't make sense. Hitler didn't attack Poland in July or August, because he *couldn't* attack Poland without first getting Stalin's approval.
He's on file saying that the only thing be feared was a 2-front war with 4 enemies at the same time.
If Stalin had simply said "njet" there would not have been a war.
@@KienyejiChicken All Stalin would needed to do to avoid WW2 was to tell the Nazis who approached him for "a little deal" that they should not expect the SU to stay neutral in case the Wehrmacht invaded Poland.
The only scenario Hitler feared was a 2 front war with 4 enemies at the same time.
It really is as simple as that.
What year was the documentary made? I remember seeing this many years ago on TV.
When the grim reaper came for him , he was all alone not even one to hold his hand!
yeah but he brought that for himself, no pity. He scared everyone to death if they just act on instinct or sth. So he deserved his fate and to grasp in his last clear moments, you may have created an empire but bottom line you are like every human, in the end being all alone because you banished humanity and compassion out of your life.
He wasn't alone.
It was an interesting documentary about Marshal Stalin.
This is an interesting portrayal of a historically significant individual, there are plenty of documentaries that portray him as a "necessary evil" for the western powers...this one does a pretty good job of representing Stalin as a man, which good or bad is an important view
Wow, someone with objectivity, how refreshing.
Always nice to hear about the history.
Like mafia bosses and his most recent successor you inherit then develop a system where you either keep killing anyone, however unlikely, who could be a threat or you could end up being killed. ( Tsar Nicholas II & family for example). Like sharks they can’t stop swimming or they drown.
God bless you we need to share history as well as free rxchange of ideas we need to learn about history
I would love any recommendations for documentaries on the gulags and survivor testimonials like they have about the Holocaust. And also ant recommendations for the holodomor
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is the man you are looking for
leksandr Solzhenitsyn "The Gulag Archipelago"

Intersting. Stalin's illegitimate son does not look like him, but the grandson sure does.
It's amazing how a monster can brainwash the messes.
I hit the wrong key, masses was what I missed.
@@dwightgoad1270 read some of the comments, it's scary. People defending this monster.
7.06. 1949; Stalin's birthday. Look at Mao's face; he has just realised the meaning of being both a monster and a god and the power of power. In 1954 to 1974 he applied the same techniques in disposing of opposition as did Stalin in 1924-1938. And the same insane and murderous ideas about colletivisation in China as applied by Stalin in the USSR in the late-1920s and1930s.
Mao never woke up and thought "today I think I will kill another 10,000 peasants". There was mass starvation in China due, in part to Mao's policies on collectivization, but the famine was never intentional and the GLF was halted as soon as the extent of the famine was realized
@@dirremoire mao killed far more people in total... And the starvation want accidental. People were locked in their homes until they died, and then they were turned into fertilizer.
@@JerjerB Some starvation may have been planned, but most of it was a result of the chaos left by wars.
You know what people don't talk enought about? Great Britain's crimes, like the planned starvation of India.
@@dirremoire but 45 millions died.greatest disaster in possible history
@@legrandliseurtri7495 I think it wasn't planned in India. it just was ignored in the midst of the chaos created by a bad crop year and Burmese refugees from Japanese invasion. Still murder.
Wow! Can you imagine being the actual “girl in Stalin’s arm?” Not I’m a good way, of course...
Appreciate the upload, cheers.
My understanding is that Lenin saw the post of General Secretary as a harmless posting where he could allow Stalin to act in harmless administrative matters, or at least, saw it that way early on.
Stalin was in charge of making sure their were no rebellions form against the new government
Pretty far from harmless position
I'm very fond of your channel. Thanks
minute 36:40 they don't mention that after learning of the German attack, Stalin locked behind closed doors for a long time until his generals came in knocking on his door. He thought they were there to whack him, but was happy to learn they wanted him out, as the symbol of the USSR to front the enemy for his people. So, the speech and everything else obviously belong to another mind, not his own.
Villification raised to a fine art. See Nero, see Richard III, see Stalin, See Mao. Now what could they possibly have in common? Serious historians only please.
The wish to utterly dominate all and everything...maybe?
I don't think the BBC would portray Stalin in such a negative light in 2019. I think they would have a very different story to tell... One that would likely delight the psychopath himself.
Ah yes, the BBC, the well known far-left propaganda machine that is constantly reporting on how socialism is good actually. Very astute observation. Very cool and attached to reality.
Most of U.S. mainstream media and our academic institutions no longer portray the truth about marxism/socialism/communism. They've become the propaganda that used to be peddled by Stalin. Just turn on the Rachel Maddow show / MSNBC and be spoonfed hysterical lies and conspiracy theories. My mom is a refugee from Soviet Ukraine. Media today is despicable and Americans take their freedoms for granted so they don't pay attention.
How nice of the Rosenbergs to give him all of the information needed to make the bomb. And kudo's to Wall Street for keeping the Soviet Union from starving.
It's always baffled me why communism was ruled by monarchs. That's exactly opposite of what communism was supposed to do away with. John reed is an interesting study. I cant believe he would have approved of what communism became. He literally gave his life for it and he started out by defending oppressed workers.
Fascinating film !!!
One lady is referred to as Stalin’s niece, but he was an only child, so how is that possible?
I wonder who turned the USSR from a farm country to a industrial super power
In the 30 years from around 1871 to 1900, Wilhelm II turned Germany from a largely agrarian, to the 2nd most powerful industrialized nation on the planet...without the "benefit" of Gulags, state terror, or the large-scale abandonment of citizen's rights...
Mostly the "carrot" works just as well as the "stick".
Ralph Bernhard: Stalin didn’t have 30 years he had 10
Ralph didn’t the Germans invade a whole load of African nations and turn the locals into slaves upon pain of death?!
Amazing!
Man of steel
Stalin saw his mother three times in forty years and did not go to her funeral . Does one need to say more about this red vampire?
Brilliant! The videos you upload are always great, and often look at history from a slightly different angle that makes it worth re-visiting! thx

Thank you, Jill! Yes, parts 2 and 3 will follow (and I think they are just as good as this one!). Regards - Alan.
Fascinating doco.
It has a kind-of non linear quality like Pulp Fiction. Like, Stalin's dead at the end of this one (spoilers), but I'm sure they'll bring him back for part 2.
Weird how stalin, lenin and trotsky all changed their names - wonder what that was about
The Bolshevik party was thoroughly infiltrated by the Okhrana (the Czarist secret police) before the revolution so its members adopted these names to protect their identity.
Gorpachev opened the files of the central committee of communist party for historical research!! Historians made research at the files!! I think that is more scientific method ! I read that russian historians made the research at the files Zemskov, Dougin and Xlevnjuk!! These findings were published in a 9000-page report, appearing in the French journal l'Histoire and the American Historical Review..
Stalin was a do gooder gone wrong.
Those ardent children praising Stalin have to remind us of the young Nazis and of the children in 2019 who march too end fossil fuels, air travel, cars, etc.
Horribly, you are RIGHT...

Or...at least I hope he is a troll.....
Ralph Bernhard stop just stop. You know what the original poster said is truth. “Antifa” brown shirts.
There was an opening for the head of the poultry bureau. Stalin said so and so would be good for that! The young Captain that stood behind him, leaned forward and said, "Exicuted". Good help is hard to find.
Wow...Hitler & Stalin had bad childhoods...and they probably wet their beds as well... Shocking revelations.
Why don't they ever play full clips of Stalin's speech like they do Hitler. Because Stalin wasn't a crazy maniac and when you read the subtitles you realize they have lied to you.
You do not need a happy childhood to live a great life, in fact people who grew up with a happy childhood often end up as brats.
I must say that at the very least this shows Stalin to be the most evil man in the history of humanity, no one can possibly even come close to how evil Stalin was. As a historian I am very pleased with this mini series.
It only shows he was the smartest of the bloddy dictators and kept himself into power for a long time.
Please tell me you’re not part of the dual Holocaust school of thinking? To compare what Stalin did to what Hitler did is completely irresponsible-and rejected by modern scholarly consensus. Hitler had a calculated plan of genocide. First eliminating the Jews. Then his Eastern Plan, expanding German territory by eliminating the Slavic population of Eastern Europe and Russia. Stalin saved his people from utter genocide, although the Nazis managed to murder 27 million Soviet citizens before being defeated.
Western historians during the Cold War used dubious post-war standards to differentiate state “murders” from state “casualties.” Cafted at the Nuremberg trials, war crimes were carefully defined to reduce the legal exposure of the West to their own atrocities. For example, it was okay to wipe out a city by air, however not with troops or gas chambers, even though the result is more or less the same. This standard was then uncritically and enthusiastically borrowed by Western historians, and made progressively worse by Cold War scholars in the 80s and 90s.
Highly subjective take: Hitler was worse IMO and what about the Japanese who slaughtered like 27 million Chinese in WW2
8:43 the antissocial and narcissistic personality disorder stare. The more I live the more impressed I get about how these anthropoid people control the whole bunch of us, cuz we simply let them to do so. Right now in Brazil we let a big one into power.
Wow, scary because it's true. They tell us all sorts of lies and we say "o.k., you can rule my life...."
How come millions of people, humans with brain and reasoning could worship a man like Stalin !? It doesn’t matter how genius and successful that man maybe, at the end of the day he is just a man .
Same way people worship celebrities
Following people blindly leads to this
All the Biden supporters
Anyone that love US government is guilty of this
An evil incarnate.
"In my opinion there are two seats of war danger. The first is in the Far East, in the zone of Japan. I have in mind the numerous statements made by Japanese military men containing threats against other powers. The second seat is in the zone of Germany. It is hard to say which is the most menacing, but both exist and are active. Compared with these two principal seats of war danger, the Italian-Abyssinian war is an episode. At present, the Far Eastern seat of danger reveals the greatest activity. However, the centre of this danger may shift to Europe. This is indicated, for example, by the interview which Herr Hitler recently gave to a French newspaper. In this interview Hitler seems to have tried to say peaceful things, but he sprinkled his "peacefulness" so plentifully with threats against both France and the Soviet Union that nothing remained of his "peacefulness." You see, even when Herr Hitler wants to speak of peace he cannot avoid uttering threats. This is symptomatic." Interview Between J. Stalin and Roy Howard; March 1, 1936 [source: Wiki]
LOL, "hinting" aloud, hoping for a deal with GB and France.
August 1939, Stalin makes a deal with said Hitler, freeing his back to strike elsewhere...
April 1941, Stalin makes a deal with the Japanese, freeing their backs to strike....where exactly?
Nice job! Where did you find this?

It is quite close to the top of the list of quotes. About the 4th or 5th down.
Cheers
Not really.
Because Bersailles had created a barrier of new states between the SU and Germany.

In case of a war between France/GB and Germany (say in 1938), how would Russian troops have reached German soil?

No, Stalin did not "instigate" WW2, he enabled it.
Two entirely different concepts.
The word "instigate" would imply that he in some way "controlled" how Berlin, London, Rome, Paris, or other actors would answer to his actions.
No, an alliance was not possible, and the article you posted hinted at that by stating the conditional (what if).
An alliance between Paris/London and Moscow would have needed the approval of Warsaw.
If not, it would have meant throwing Poland under the bus.
Warsaw would then have accepted Germany's offer (compromise about Danzig and the Corridor) and joined the Axis to protect the "buffer zone" they had taken from the ex-Imperialist Russia in 1918/19...ooops :-)
[note that Warsaw and Berlin were in constant negotiations after their non-agression pact of 1934, and also shared many common interests]
Stalin was an unordained priest. The man of steel was the result of a Christian upbringing, a religious school, and an unhappy childhood. At 14 he won a scholarship to a seminary and immersed in the morality and teachings of Eastern Christianity, became a revolutionary.
Also he had abusive father. He however decided to turn completely away from God to become the brutal notorious dictator that he was.
