Khrushchev exposes Stalin!
Simple History hi
Simple History burned!!!!!, and hi
Simple History hi I love your channel
Simple History been here since 15k!!
Hello
Nikita: Stalin was a jerk guys and he abused his power we should let our people be free and happy aswell as our members of the Warsaw pact!
Hungary and Poland: So can we le-
Nikita: *destroys and kills everyone who supported leaving Warsaw pact just like Stalin did*
It was obviously a PR campaign to relabel the new leadership
I live there. It was justified.
@@WM-gf8zm It's true, without that redefinition of the USSR, it would have crumbled decades earlier than it did
Now now, we’re all responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people. -“Death of stalin movie”
Lol right
I’m a bit sad that the whole moment where someone cried out “why did you never say this when Stalin was alive?!” And Krushchev barked back, “WHO SAID THAT?!” When the silence settled in out of fear of what Krushchev would do, he replied smugly, “That’s why.”
Such a badass moment.
source?
@@gutsjoestar7450 Brian Davies, Professor at @UTSA who taught my “3371 Soviet Union & After” course. He’s in the staff registry, so feel free to ask him. I’m not gonna dig for sources on what my prof’s tell me.
The film The Death of Stalin captures this perfectly. Krushchev and the others are totally uncertain at first on how to handle things, or even what is appropriate to say, since Stalin literally had Beria and himself controlling everything. As corrupt and tyrannical as Khrushchev was, executing Beria was a MASSIVE service to humanity and showed that even a guy like him can have SOME logic and sense.
Nikita made it to where he was... through a marriage of dry wit and pure survival instincts.
Whoa. I’m loving this haha
I should really be studying right now, but I'm just Stalin
Yes Comrade
You should be russian to your books 🤔
In Mother Russia, you don't do dad jokes, dad jokes do you.
Quit Stalin or you will get poor Marx.
Stop Putin pun in to this comment
"Stalin was a big jerk."
*gasps*
"I'm not sure how this is news to you."
This enraged stalin who punished him severely
Tuure Sarolahti But by now he was kinda dead so he just let it go.
Criticising stalin? Theres a tax for that
Yep
This Stalin guy was a real jerk!
Stalin: Am I a joke to you?
khruschev: *purging hungary and poland with stalin style*
stalin: so that was a f**king lie
lvl100papastalin
I See fake Stalin
Khrushchev used Revisionism. It’s Super Effective!
Communist jokes are only funny if everyone gets it.
Anyone else see the movie Death of Stalin?
I've been meaning to. I hear it's great and quite funny.
Indiana Jones best movie of 2018 hands down
Indiana Jones Yep
Yeah, it's great.
"W h e r e ' s t h e b e e f ?" -Foreign minister molotov
imagine if stalin suddenly came back to life after kruschev make the speech
He would be like, why are you lying?
Death terrible joke
Castsmith he would stay dead as Kruschev would silent him immediately. His close servants and maid got killed straight away after his death. And many that in power hold grudge & fear during his reign. They would kill him and labelled as fake Stalin killed accidentally😂😎☠️☠️
He would say: "CYKA BLYAT! GO TO GULAG!"
Castsmith kruschev: Stalin I didn’t say you were cruel I said you were cool
Soviet Citizens: So can we live without fear now?
Khrushchev: Well yes, but actually no.
Attention all Soviet Citizens, BE HAPPY OR ELSE, WELL MAKE YOU HAPPY.
No, Soviet society was liberalized during Khrushchev's era. Khrushchev only just crushed Uprising of Budapest in 1956, that was it
@@Saswata_97 not forget to mention he let millions of chechens and ingushs return back to their homeland and stopped the russification of the USSR, he also killed beria and sended the russians to prison during the ethnic clashes of chechens and russians
@@Saswata_97 and the USA crushed alot more left leaning movements to further imperialism so its even more understandable because the hungarian right wing revolt couldve turned into a dictatorship by the US, it already happened in iran 1953, in guatemala, in nicaragua, in chile, in south africa (by UK and netherlands) in ethiopia till communism revolted. In the DROC. Was attempted in iraq, egypt and syria so the zionist pro western ethnostate israel gets bigger
Khrushchev literally saved the world with the missile crisis bro if Stalin was in charge it would’ve been the end
When one of the delegates yelled "Why didn't you say all of that when comrade Stalin was alive?!", Khrushchev slammed his fist on the table and yelled "Who said that?!" After a pause with no reply Khrushchev calmly said: "That's why".
Khrushchev was one of those rare historical figures that you can love and hate simultaneously. I think that he went along with Stalin to stay alive while waiting for the opportunity to undo Stalin’s damage. He wanted to reform without charging full speed into a train wreck. His “ No Shooting Above This Line” approach to Party Discipline as he demoted his enemies without shooting them brought him down while saving his life.
Video suggestion: Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran
That would be awesome.
I'd love that. Not many know this happened and how it affected the lend lease program and subsequent souring of relations between Iran and Britain.
Yes!
The untold stories of ww2..
then they eventually became ISIS
"Look at all these terrible things Stalin did, that I, in no way helped with!" He gets points for cleverness.

A few years after this speech, where Khruschev revealed a lot of things that were closely held secrets known only to a few, Stalin's remains were removed from Lenin's tomb because he was no longer considered worthy to occupy the same space as the founder of the revolution.
Not only that but he also buried his remains on an unnamed tomb under 3 metres of concrete...
Khrushchev rising from a relatively minor bit player with average looks and humble beginnings to become the leader of the USSR is one of the most intriguing stories ever, especially considering the extremely dangerous characters he had to contend with. Lavrentiy Beria is probably one of the most evil people in history, the fact that Khrushchev was able to continue to survive Stalin and also out maneuver Beria makes him a very interesting character.
If the USSR was inherited by Beria it'd be even more ruthless than it had probably been under Stalin, the world'd probably shudder to imagine that.
True, although Beria did have plans to liberalize the USSR, which is why he was pushed aside.
@@---uf2zl though that was probably to look better in the eyes of the soviet people after all the executions he ordered.
@@---uf2zl Liberalization means little after the 30s passed
Beira 's friends daughters were warned to be careful with Beria
and it is said he didn't even spare Stalin's daughter.
He had a bodyguards who used to kidnap young school girls for him and he used to kill them brutally.
He was a very ruthless and rose to power by giving Stalin so much ego massages.
@@rdesai4756
His limousine was even notorious for driving around colleges in Moscow, searching for preys.
Thank god this guy never became ruler of the USSR, but I'm curious wether he would've actually liberalized the Soviet Union and introduced peaceful coexistence.
Great video! Keep up the great work.
Can you do a video about Patton?
the movie is really good too
Look. It. Up.
I just said it would be cool if they did a video about Patton. I know about him but he's intresting and people might like to learn about him.
That would be great
I wanna see a video on Alvin York who captured a dozen German soldiers in ww1
Watch the movie of the same name. The practical effects are amazing and the actor playing Patton was a perfect match for the rolr.
Lenin didn't like Stalin either. Before he died Lenin sent a letter to the Party informing them that he did not want Stalin to be his replacement but the letter was intercepted by non other than Stalin.
I have Stalin the letter
Him, almost like...
Lenin was still a mass murderer and dictator in his own right. As he orchestrated the creation of the Gulag. And he also executed thousands of Soviet pheasants for owning land.
@@andrewfuhriman6877 this was the bolsheviki themselves and trotzky, not lenin
@@dayanbadruddinov6414No Trotsky was assassinated and exiled . He never really had much power or influence to create the Gulags. Lenin ordered the creation of them. And Lenin had many political rivals locked up in the Gulags.
Make a video about the Trail of Tears, and the Indian Wars.
Agreed
Great job simple history. Keep it up!!!

Nah... The bias is obvious even when they mention history from 100 years ago... I can't stand when they inject opinions.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME I AM ALWAYS HYPED FOR YOUR VIDEOS
Thanks for the video!
Fun bit of trivia: during the first world war, Khruschev, a skilled industrial worker, was in the process of immigrating to the United States. He had already submitted the immigration papers, but his plans were disrupted by revolution and ensuing civil war. Had the timing been only slightly different, Khruschev would have been running an American factory, instead of leading the Soviet Union. However, his children and grandchildren followed his dreams. Nearly all of his descendants live in the US.
That would explain then why the "Kitchen Debate" between him and Nixon turned into one over industrialization and technology development. Khrushchev fiercely defended the Soviets' accelerated production and criticized prototypes of inventions he felt were wastes of resources (Nixon in turn defended them and claimed this is what leads to better innovation and technology breakthroughs).
Hey Simple History can you make a video about the July Crisis that started WWl?
Thanks.
Great video man you have the best videos
"After the end of WWII, the world was split into two, east and west, this marks the era called the Cold War"
-Snake
I'm glad the soviet union collapsed....it almost led to WW3 during the cuban missile crisis.
@@VeganWitch111 cuban missle crisis was ended then Vietnam war start in a few years :/
You know when Stalin was a scary dude when people were afraid of him even after his death.
basically Khruahchev was a complete hypocrite.
Great Video Simple History
I love these videos. Realy interesting.
I'm bulgarian and my grandfather told me that when Stalin died (he was 4th grade in this time) their theacher cried for him.
Can you please do a video on the Khrushchev's ottepel? That was an important period of our history and one of the best in the history of USSR, characterized by great entusiasm of people and overall softening of the government policy. The word ottepel means "distinct warm up after or during the winter".
Also how Khrushchev felt deliberately made a fool of by the apparent lying to him by President Eisenhower about "no more overflights of Soviet territory" before Gary Powers was shot down (but allowed to survive) and then Khrushchev made the scene with banging his shoes on the table at the UN after apparently a translator mistakenly told him that the Americans had called him a "stupid fool" or something similarly colorful in Russian
Less than a minute already at 3.7k views. Good job
Great video!
can you do a video on the Berlin Airlift. BTW, I love this channel, and have the books!
Ohhh so that's what the merch is, lol I thought it was pillows XD
sure!
@@Simplehistory thanks!
yes
He’s got nothing on our dear leader *Jim Pickens* Though!
And his army of moles
Yuy

Watched the full 5 minute ad your welcome. Love your content. Do more about events from WW1 to Vietnam. Not just WW2 stuff tho
Very interesting thank you simple History.
It would be awesome if you guys did a video about life in Native American reservations. You don’t see many videos covering that and I always found their history intriguing.
Other than that I love this channel!! 😁
Why don't you do an episode about the Italian Partisan resistence?
I love your videos; i'm an university student of modern and contemporanean history
Great Video!
A simple history I just want to appreciate it for all the good things that you have given us telling us the truth and the stories yeah
The song of the video?
russian composer tchaikovsy
If you dig deep enough Khrushchev did that for 2 reasons:
- avenging his son sent to the WW2 front in 1942 (as a penalty for a stupid gun accident caused the death of his fellow-comrade) to die in the battle eventually;
- looking better comparing to those before him and what legacy he has to deal with (the trick today's Russian government is widely using).
Pretty hypocritical if you consider the fact that he was almost the most active participant of 1937 purge.
Keep up the good work my school use your vids to teach us
Awesome video
*Everyone remained speechless for hours during the secret speech*
Nikito: I am really not sure how this is news to you
Does anyone get the reference?
This reminds me of the times when the one kid that hates that one group of girls speaks out against them after they get expelled from the school for all the complaints of hitting, cutting in line, etc.
Thanks for posting, I now have more info for my homework. Also a good and mostly accurate movie on this was called ‘The Death is Stalin’
Awesome, never knew about this secret speech.
Any chance for a video on the British Horsa Glider during WW2? It was an aircraft without an engine that brought commandos to the battlefield via gliding.
Poland and Hungary: So we are free now?
Our Boi: well yes but actually no
What is this song at the start of the video? I hear it in almost any soviet related video but can never find it.
Did it find it? I really want to know what it is too

WW3:Re-Stalinization
Imagine one of stalin's grandsons or descendants attempting reform the soviet union
Can someone tell me whats the song in the backround? Thanks
I absolutely love the background music
I was playing as China in HOI4 recently and I thought, "hmm, there can be videos about interwar China (and not only)".
Here is a list of possible topics:
- the Xinhai revolution;
- Yuan Shikai's dictatorship;
- the Warlord Era;
- the Northern Expedition etc.
There are almost no videos about interwar period, it must be fixed.
WHAT IS THE SONG PLAYING ON THE BACKGROUND????? REEEE
tchaikovsky
What was the music that was playing in the background? I’ve heard it before but never knew what it’s called.
What is the name of the music in the background?
*Glory to Khrushchev!*
To gulag
Imagine going back to these times
It turned out that the Secret Speech was a huge reason that caused the Sino-Soviet split in the early 1960s. Mao was a close ally of Stalin and followed many of his beliefs, and Khrushchev’s inflammatory remarks greatly impacted Mao’s ability to collaborate with the new Soviet government.
Ironically, the final result of Sino-Soviet split was the US developing diplomatic relations with China in the hopes of countering the Soviets, and after Deng Xiaoping took power in the late 1970s, led to China transitioning into a market economy.
Great! Your video is now Advertiser friendly! You've reached your goal.
Thank you Nikita Krushtchev! Thanks to you the USSR became less Harsh and you Closed down Gulags! Thank you so much Kruschev!
he is a traitor and you praise him
@@Zapper-kq1zg better than stalin and putin they need to stop electing leaders who's name ends with in
@@theeatherlash69 which is better? closed the Stalinist artels, abandoned the ruble and switched to the currency of the enemy, Khrushchev signed the execution lists much more than anyone else
@@theeatherlash69 he also curtailed Stalin's plan to transform nature and abandoned the ogas system
@@theeatherlash69 Gulag would be returned to us today for our officials
In Soviet Russia, the speech secrets you.
does anyone know the name of the music going on in the backround? i swear i hear that song on every vid i watch about the SU. and it sounds HELLA sinister.
Anyone know the name of the piano music at the beginning?
Lenin: DoNt ChOoSe StAlIn As PrEmIeR Of UsSr
Stalin: **laugh in gulag**
(I stole this joke)
stalin sucks
Kruschev: Stalin's reign of terror has ended! Now begins MY reign of terror!
He actually closed down gulags so life in Soviet union became less harsh.
Very cool video
Can anyone please tell me the music starting at 0:00???
Stalin Disapproves.
"Stalin sucked!"
*proceeds to be the new stalin*
More like Stalin Lite
No he wasn't
krushev was a dictator but he didnt go around murdering people just because they looked at him funny
He didn't send his political opponents to suffer in gulags and actually closed them down.
@@raptorfromthe6ix833khrushchev wasn't a dictator he was a president
I really like the background music in this song. Does anybody know what it is called?
I ❤️ur vids I watch them at school during silent reading
Why do you make them look evil?
Khrushchev: Hey guys, remember Stalin? That guy who was imprisoning and murdering us all for doing basically nothing? Yeah, he was kind of a jerk.
People: 😱😱😱😱😱
Khrushchev: I’m honestly not sure how this is news to you.

If you read this... you are going to gulag. 😭
I escape gulag for this!
Chris Kane noooooo!!!
Fun!
Nope
Blyat
I hope the same happen in China and North Korea especially North Korea
The only way that's going to happen is if the people of China change the way they feel about socialism
Exzotic Foxyz in communist china no they probably exploit or promote their culture to probably suppress revolt in other ethics area.
Exzotic Foxyz back then Republican china was crap. But taiwan seem to be doing well so Republican can be good with the right leader
Exzotic Foxyz the ‘good cultures’ of china was all destroyed by themself at mao’s idiocy
Exzotic Foxyz not really but he would be wayyy better than stalin.
What is the background music?
