5:33 This must be an editing mistake, but there is a wrong photograph here. I can't see Yezhov on the picture, just an empty room. Did this person ever exist? I can't recall...
The possible coup plot against Stalin? I don't think so. What would support this type of plotting would be some of those involved escaping the USSR, or at least attempting to. Think of it. They arrest your co-conspirator Tukachevsky and you know they'll be coming for you next....so you head for the border. What I think is amazing about Robert Conquest is how much he got right. In this case Stalin's game is more likely. Many of those purged by Stalin confessed to being British spies - where in London are the lists of 'the honored dead'? It's been 80 years since the purges. A possible future episode might be titled: What's Wrong About Comrade Stalin? and cover the speculation of his being an agent of the Tzarist Okran. From what little I know about the Okran it was a relatively small organization, probably impossible to infiltrate, but likely a lot of inside conversations instead of compartmentalization. Did any of its members survive, leave the Soviet Union and spill the beans? Were their similar Okran spies inside suspect organizations? Were they the typical dysfunctional low level lackey? As I understand it the best indication Stalin was in league with them is his multiple escapes from Tzarist prisons and his always returning to Georgia. Other Communists who escaped prison never returned to the area from which they'd been arrested. They would immediately be at risk. "Vlad. You're out? Already? Let's all go down to the station and make sure...." And of course Stalin would've had destroyed any records indicating his collusion, executed anyone who might know about it, and just in case....execute of anyone they might have mentioned it to. Of course there is the possibility that Stalin with the Party's knowledge was 'working' the Okran as a double. Are there other cases of this?
Thanks 👍 Finally ; A BIT on Stalin Wow that's Rare Western Leaders Ignored the Horrible Soviets , Britain and France Just Abandoned Poland , Baltic States and Finland And Gave Stalin Huge AID ? Without A Promise of Leaving Poland etc etc etc
It looks like him, but I don't think he was present in the actual invasion he was in charge of behind the lines stuff and a parade and hitler's security at one point, but don't take my word for it cuz it might be wrong.
An update on the statistics (2009): the Polish Institute on National Remembrance’s estimation on the numbers of Poles deported to labour camps and those who died there are, respectively, 320K and 150K. The higher earlier estimates, at least according to Wiki, were due to an opacity of certain data sources (not least of which includes the secretive nature of the Soviet archives especially pre-1992).
The USA: We are the peaceful nation and we are going to maintain neutrality and we have no intentions to intervene in any conflict outside the American continent... Einstein: There is theoretical possibility to use nuclear fission to create a bomb with devastating power of destruction... The USA: Forget what I said! GIMME THOSE NUKES!
We kept our word. We didn’t intervene until someone was dumb enough to make their problem our problem. Doesn’t hurt to be prepared for a fight if you can clearly see the world going to shit.
No tactics and strategies of Stalin in 1920 in Galicia are out of the question. As soon as the gigantic partisan horde of the Lumpen led by Stalin seized upon Lvov, this essentially gangster mass hit the multi-day orgy of looting, seeking forcible and drunkenness. After the looting of Lviv, the partisan horde led by Stalin had over 150,000 heavily loaded carts with loot - the speed of the Stalinists towards Warszawa was 3 km / h
Dear Indy , and all who works on project. Because I have cerebral palsy UA-cam is very important for me because I have the opportunity to learn different things without leaving my room and my wheelchair. I love history very much and history is my biggest love despite that I did not study history, but I decided to study international relations. I want to share my personal opinion about Joseph Stalin and his hatred toward Poland. For me the roots of this hatred lying in Polish occupation of Moscow in beginning of the 17th century. This occupation for the Russians are one of the biggest tragedies in their history and deliberation from Polish occupation is the reason of celebrating national unity because Russians and Tatars together organized uprising against Polish occupants and expelled them from most. As we all know Joseph Stalin was the pupil in Eastern orthodoxy seminary in Tiflis, present dayTbilisi and there was sort of probability that a occupation of Moscow was presented as Catholic attack on Orthodox Russia, in textbooks for the history. In Tbilisi seminary. Joseph Stalin simply was Russian imperialist who wanted split of Poland because he wanted to repeat role which had Catherine the great in Russian history. When I will Averell Harriman asked Joseph Stalin if he is satisfied with defeating of the Germans and liberation of Berlin Joseph Stalin replied, "no, I am not! Alexander I came to the Paris and I just managed to came to the Berlin. p.s this comment was written by speech and recognizing software so please excuse me for my mistakes.
@@handle1603 I will not try to convince you in any kind of truth because it is not possible on the Internet. But I will try to response on your theis on for example Russians and Tatars. Yes Russians was under Tatars, but they are liberated by the Ivan the Terrible and after that we can talk about some kind of Russian and Tatars unity because in present-day Russia, they are so mixed among each. Many Tatars are Eastern Orthodox and a large number of Tatars was, is and will be part of Russian economical, cultural and political elite.
What's a Bolshevik & who comprised their leadership. Why would Jugashvili change his name? How many Christians did they freeze, work, butcher or starve to death in the Gulag Archipelago? How many churches did they burn or repurpose ?
Russia and Germany deserved each other on the eastern front. That slogging match couldn't have happened to two more deserving countries (except Japan of course). They deserved everything they got.
Great picture of Uncle Joe I like Stalin he was having a laugh but no one could see the joke. I like him because he was hard like a Godfather.. Stalin man of steel.
It's kind of weird that people liked Stalin at one point before all his atrocities came out. Joe McDonald, of Country Joe and the Fish fame was named after Stalin by his leftist parents.

Stalin actually liberated ethnic teritories of Western Belarussia and Western Ukraine that Poland conqured at the end of WW1. Further more, he hold German Army few hundred kilimeters West of USSR mainland teritory, as otherwise Germany would be at the Gates of Russia. So, in my view, and taking Munich betrayal i to consideration, I think that this was wise move by USSR
@@kiiik8801 that was exclusively affair in Ukraine, or famine hit Russia, Belarussia and other parts of USSR as well? Come on, face facts, there was no "Holodomor" intentionally targeting Ukraine People.
@Don't question my comment no, he had no right to execute prisoners. Yet, there was 22.000 of them, not 100.000, read Wikipedia. As for conditions in which Ukranians lived in Poland, it was oppresion, polonization and colonization of teritories where They lived. Ukranians were called Ruthenians, University in their language was forbiden and so on. Poland was anturussian cobstruct of Versail treaty, and at some point People of Ukraine were destined to get united once again.
You're making the assumption that those territories were indisputably Belarusian and Ukrainian. At the time Eastern Europe was very ethnically heterogeneous. Ukraine and Belarus had been part of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth before they were part of the Russian Empire. There were Germans, Poles, Ukrainians and many other minorities such that many area's didn't have a clear majority. After the war those places only became homogenous because Stalin expelled minorities to other countries. So all the Poles living in what's modern day Western Belarus and Western Ukraine were expelled to the new territories Poland got from Germany. Stalin did this with the Germans and Hungarians as well.
@@dontquestionmycomment2126 Yeah your jumping back 20 years before there when Poland stole those lands from Russia originally.

As fibbed by the "oh-so-good" Nazis? That you wish were still in place of the Red Army, you Nazi prick?
@@maladetts the Soviets WERE Nazi allies in the German-Polish war.
@@bringbackmy90s
Again, they were not. They were NO PART of the German-Polish (read that again) war and NEVER were Nazis' ALLIES. Unlike Poland, who partook along with the Nazis in the division of Czechoslovakia. Got that, illiterate Nazi dupe? Take your goebbelsian pseudohistorical lies elsewhere.
@@maladetts It just so happens that I'm Polish prick, not a Nazi prick. Here in Poland we met both armies - and the Nazi and Red Army. It is hard to say which occupation was worse. One of our war heroes, who was imprisoned in both - the Nazi and Soviet camps said, that he was treated much worse in the Soviet camp. And the fact that the Red Army was an ally of Nazi Germany is best demonstrated by the joint parade in Brest-Litovsk after defeating Poland ... :(

Fantastic
You should have done a deeper dive on Yezhov, he was much more horrible than any other leading official in the USSR.
Good idea! I’ll put a note in, and it could definitely be someone I write about over on our Twitter at least
It's hard to think of a country that had it worse in WWII than Poland
Imagine.., a world without psychopaths? 🤔

reposting my comment here:
*PAW! You are dead!*
-Iossif Vissarionovitch Djougachvili "Stalin"
"I'm DEAD!"
- Ignacy Mościcki, October 1939
The territory that the USSR took was just territory that was occupied by the same Polish government during the Russian Civil War. The Polish government was not innocent. There’s a reason why the modern day border was Poland Belarus in Ukraine is mostly on that same division line.
I know Hitler is the main villain here, but Stalin really gives him a run for his money!

8:48 - 681692 death penalties in 1937-1938 became into "as many as a million deaths". Facepalm.
Recorded executions in a two-year period doesn't equal deaths of all causes directly linked to the purges in a longer period
@@hrotha fell from the ladder - became a victim of purges?
Yeah, because in Soviet Russia you are prohibited to die before you are convicted.
@@Ur_Quan no
I mean, besides all the horrible death and destruction nuclear bombs are pretty awesome
The possible coup plot against Stalin? I don't think so. What would support this type of plotting would be some of those involved escaping the USSR, or at least attempting to. Think of it. They arrest your co-conspirator Tukachevsky and you know they'll be coming for you next....so you head for the border. What I think is amazing about Robert Conquest is how much he got right. In this case Stalin's game is more likely. Many of those purged by Stalin confessed to being British spies - where in London are the lists of 'the honored dead'? It's been 80 years since the purges.
A possible future episode might be titled: What's Wrong About Comrade Stalin? and cover the speculation of his being an agent of the Tzarist Okran. From what little I know about the Okran it was a relatively small organization, probably impossible to infiltrate, but likely a lot of inside conversations instead of compartmentalization. Did any of its members survive, leave the Soviet Union and spill the beans? Were their similar Okran spies inside suspect organizations? Were they the typical dysfunctional low level lackey?
As I understand it the best indication Stalin was in league with them is his multiple escapes from Tzarist prisons and his always returning to Georgia. Other Communists who escaped prison never returned to the area from which they'd been arrested. They would immediately be at risk. "Vlad. You're out? Already? Let's all go down to the station and make sure...." And of course Stalin would've had destroyed any records indicating his collusion, executed anyone who might know about it, and just in case....execute of anyone they might have mentioned it to. Of course there is the possibility that Stalin with the Party's knowledge was 'working' the Okran as a double. Are there other cases of this?
Can't believe you cited conquest. He's one of the most discredited historians to ever exist
The world could’ve ended recently because of this “super weapon”.
Stalin reminds me of the WWI Italian generals

@@serugolino7867 yep that crossed my mind too, but the guy looks very similar to rommel , at least from that angle
5:47 it was genocide
An update on the statistics (2009): the Polish Institute on National Remembrance’s estimation on the numbers of Poles deported to labour camps and those who died there are, respectively, 320K and 150K. The higher earlier estimates, at least according to Wiki, were due to an opacity of certain data sources (not least of which includes the secretive nature of the Soviet archives especially pre-1992).
Oooo what new merderess adventures await us today
The USA: We are the peaceful nation and we are going to maintain neutrality and we have no intentions to intervene in any conflict outside the American continent...
Einstein: There is theoretical possibility to use nuclear fission to create a bomb with devastating power of destruction...
The USA: Forget what I said! GIMME THOSE NUKES!
We kept our word. We didn’t intervene until someone was dumb enough to make their problem our problem. Doesn’t hurt to be prepared for a fight if you can clearly see the world going to shit.
Then in 1989? @ 7:21

I am struggling to follow because non of the cities are remotely pronounced correctly...
No tactics and strategies of Stalin in 1920 in Galicia are out of the question. As soon as the gigantic partisan horde of the Lumpen led by Stalin seized upon Lvov, this essentially gangster mass hit the multi-day orgy of looting, seeking forcible and drunkenness. After the looting of Lviv, the partisan horde led by Stalin had over 150,000 heavily loaded carts with loot - the speed of the Stalinists towards Warszawa was 3 km / h
Nothing personal only class struggle!
Hope you're having a great time burning in your Red He'll, comrade!

Dear Indy , and all who works on project.
Because I have cerebral palsy UA-cam is very important for me because I have the opportunity to learn different things without leaving my room and my wheelchair. I love history very much and history is my biggest love despite that I did not study history, but I decided to study international relations.
I want to share my personal opinion about Joseph Stalin and his hatred toward Poland. For me the roots of this hatred lying in Polish occupation of Moscow in beginning of the 17th century. This occupation for the Russians are one of the biggest tragedies in their history and deliberation from Polish occupation is the reason of celebrating national unity because Russians and Tatars together organized uprising against Polish occupants and expelled them from most.
As we all know Joseph Stalin was the pupil in Eastern orthodoxy seminary in Tiflis, present dayTbilisi and there was sort of probability that a occupation of Moscow was presented as Catholic attack on Orthodox Russia, in textbooks for the history. In Tbilisi seminary.
Joseph Stalin simply was Russian imperialist who wanted split of Poland because he wanted to repeat role which had Catherine the great in Russian history.
When I will Averell Harriman asked Joseph Stalin if he is satisfied with defeating of the Germans and liberation of Berlin Joseph Stalin replied, "no, I am not! Alexander I came to the Paris and I just managed to came to the Berlin.

Thank you, Bosko, for sharing your opinion.
@@handle1603 I will not try to convince you in any kind of truth because it is not possible on the Internet. But I will try to response on your theis on for example Russians and Tatars. Yes Russians was under Tatars, but they are liberated by the Ivan the Terrible and after that we can talk about some kind of Russian and Tatars unity because in present-day Russia, they are so mixed among each. Many Tatars are Eastern Orthodox and a large number of Tatars was, is and will be part of Russian economical, cultural and political elite.

What's a Bolshevik & who comprised their leadership. Why would Jugashvili change his name? How many Christians did they freeze, work, butcher or starve to death in the Gulag Archipelago? How many churches did they burn or repurpose ?
Russia and Germany deserved each other on the eastern front. That slogging match couldn't have happened to two more deserving countries (except Japan of course). They deserved everything they got.
what?
Are you saying the 30 million civilians who died on the Eastern Front was deserved?

Poland has no rights to exist. The Soviet said so
Great picture of Uncle Joe I like Stalin he was having a laugh but no one could see the joke. I like him because he was hard like a Godfather.. Stalin man of steel.
It's kind of weird that people liked Stalin at one point before all his atrocities came out. Joe McDonald, of Country Joe and the Fish fame was named after Stalin by his leftist parents.
J C my father was in reserved occupation during WW2 while working on a US airbase in east anglia he said he saw a B17 bomber with nose painting of Stalin wearing a crown and smoking a huge cigar with the slogan Joe for King,!
im not one to complain normally but this title offends me as a Polish person, calling his crimes "adventures"? c'mon mate what the fuck, not cool.

@@johnstopyracus5674 , the video has not glorified either the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany
Stalin actually liberated ethnic teritories of Western Belarussia and Western Ukraine that Poland conqured at the end of WW1. Further more, he hold German Army few hundred kilimeters West of USSR mainland teritory, as otherwise Germany would be at the Gates of Russia. So, in my view, and taking Munich betrayal i to consideration, I think that this was wise move by USSR
Read something about Great Starvation on Soviet Ukraine in early 30's, that was real Soviet leberation
@@kiiik8801 that was exclusively affair in Ukraine, or famine hit Russia, Belarussia and other parts of USSR as well? Come on, face facts, there was no "Holodomor" intentionally targeting Ukraine People.
@Don't question my comment no, he had no right to execute prisoners. Yet, there was 22.000 of them, not 100.000, read Wikipedia. As for conditions in which Ukranians lived in Poland, it was oppresion, polonization and colonization of teritories where They lived. Ukranians were called Ruthenians, University in their language was forbiden and so on. Poland was anturussian cobstruct of Versail treaty, and at some point People of Ukraine were destined to get united once again.
You're making the assumption that those territories were indisputably Belarusian and Ukrainian. At the time Eastern Europe was very ethnically heterogeneous. Ukraine and Belarus had been part of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth before they were part of the Russian Empire. There were Germans, Poles, Ukrainians and many other minorities such that many area's didn't have a clear majority. After the war those places only became homogenous because Stalin expelled minorities to other countries. So all the Poles living in what's modern day Western Belarus and Western Ukraine were expelled to the new territories Poland got from Germany. Stalin did this with the Germans and Hungarians as well.
@@dontquestionmycomment2126 Yeah your jumping back 20 years before there when Poland stole those lands from Russia originally. The lands of western Ukraine and Belarus that USSR liberated in 1939 had been stolen from them in the war in war with Poland in 1920. The people pushing for independent Ukraine and trying to make pacts with poland where the white army, aka the imperialists. Why do you support the imperialists who w3anted to keep people poor and impoverished?
Sorry bro, but the video is pretty far from historical accuracy and is full of lies ...

Lukas Adolf Maringer we’ve recently tightened our rules on the equivocation of crimes against humanity by “explaining them.” It’s a slippery slope from explanation to justification. We also don’t permit whataboutism from any side anymore. Regardless of how anyone feels that the malice of one side or the other is generally not documented enough, anyone that watched just a few videos on any of our channels will know that we’re equally critical of any war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The life of Jews in Poland before Germany invaded was dreadful. Probably on a par with the treatment they received from the Soviets.
and then it got worse
@@serugolino7867 Yeah going from being peasants living in serfdom and the country having a literacy rate under 30% to everyone having work, free healthcare and education, housing for all and a literacy rate of 95% by 1960's was just awful. Damn socialism! Why couldn't the USSR have left us to toil in the fields in our life of illiterate peasantry!
@@rtmclean484 I'm just saying that if the life of jews in poland before germany invaded was bad then it definitely was way worse during the german invasion.
Wtf are you on about
@@serugolino7867 my point is that your comparison is complete nonsense. to suggest life for jews under the soviet union was as bad as germany. one side made then a protected class, rehoused them, gave them their own autonomous region and provided housing and education for all. the ither tried to genocide them out of existence.
@@rtmclean484 Bruv I just said that "it got worse" in a joking manner to refer to the genocide that the Nazi Germany did. Then in my reply to you I mentioned only that life for jews was bad after the german invasion aka. between 1939 and 1945. So I was obviously referring to Germnay aka. the fucking Nazis that genocied the polish jews. So can you please explain to me where in the god loving fucking world did you see me mention or attack the soviet treatment of jews.
I said that Germany genocided the polish jewish population in a bit of a joking manner that you get on the internet and then you attacked me for some reason. Where did I mention the soviets? Are you willfully misinterpreting my comments or are you dense?
