Gruesome fact about the scene at 1:31, Beria really was a notorious sexual predator and would offer flowers to his victims at the end of their encounters. If the victim accepted, it meant that is was "consensual" and she would be let free. If not, she would be arrested.
I saw this film and wanted to do some research and found out that Beria wasan actula monster, he'd drive around for young girls, humans can be the scariest things
@@dagobert1234321 It was even to the point that when Stalin learned that Beria was at his dacha at the same time as his daughter, alone, he sent a NKVD death squads with orders to shoot Beria on sight if he had touched her. Beria, despite being a horrible person, wasn't a idiot and knew that if he had touched Stalin's daughter he would probably suffer a fate worse than death had not touched even a hair on her head.
1:31 "According to official testimony, in Soviet archives, by Colonel Rafael Semyonovich Sarkisov and Colonel Sardion Nikolaevich Nadaraia - two of Beria's bodyguards - on warm nights during the war, Beria was often driven around Moscow in his limousine. He would point out young women that he wanted to be taken to his mansion, where wine and a feast awaited them. After dining, Beria would take the women into his soundproofed office and rape them. Beria's bodyguards reported that their duties included handing each victim a flower bouquet as she left the house. Accepting it implied that the sex had been consensual; refusal would mean arrest. Sarkisov reported that after one woman rejected Beria's advances and ran out of his office, Sarkisov mistakenly handed her the flowers anyway. The enraged Beria declared, "Now, it is not a bouquet, it is a wreath! May it rot on your grave!". The NKVD arrested the woman the next day." From Wikipedia

For anyone who's watched the show (or've seen Pyro's video on it), then yes, this is Paul Ready, the same actor who played Lee from Utopia, another British black comedy It's funny how both Lee and Delov's characters are an almost complete 180°, with Lee's constant delivery of taunts and wisecrack, while Delov just takes it from other characters like a timid mouse I say almost cuz both characters also share some similarities; namely how both are assassins working for a much higher government power

It was great to see this clip, basically shows you what Beria knew. He seemed pretty confident at the meeting before the coup, with his Lackey listening in and he would probably conclude Malenkov was on his side.
I think the fact that Delov was a colonel, not just any ordinary officer, made his character special. He represented Beria’s top street cronies. To see a man of such a stature, probably feared by so many citizens getting a dressing-down by his superiors just like your average Ivan made it so interesting.
Holy shit didn’t realize that until I saw this. The beard makith the man. I try to get as many people as I can to watch that show, good to see others who have.
Even though he was NKVD, I personally like Delov. He doesn't seem like a bad dude, just under a horrible, terrible, disgusting, vile creature named Beria.
zhukov ought to have arrested stalin in the 20s,with about ten army officers for back up he could have done it and millions of decent russians would have lived to collect a pension
Just realized the hilarity of the situation of “finding the right girl” and KBG being unable to find her at first There was a chance she was dead - given the system which Stalin had implemented By starvation or by the death squads Or worse, by Bervia himself as she would’ve been in her twenties by that time. Dark ironic humor really - in attempts to show the Soviet Union progress from one leader to another, the same girl would kiss the new leader; but because of the Soviet Union, the girl died Turns out not the case, but still funny
"We DO know where she is! Stalin put her in Black Dolphin, and I have sent a plane for her. It will only take 4 days to get her back here....um. Just one thing. I am told by the commandant that no one will ever want a picture of her ever again.
Yes, although he is a rare case of actually having earned some of them. Political branch officers could use their medals as a moderately effective form of body armour by the time they reached General, without having necessarily seen any combat at all
Actually, Zhukov had waaaaay more medals on his chest, but they decided to show less in the movie because the directors were afraid people would thought they exagerated for comedy purpose.
Having an enormous number of medals is pretty standard for most communist regimes. It is part of how they motivate people, some visible icon to show others of their status in an otherwise statusless world.
I am not at liberty to confirm nor deny such flippantly bourgeois conjecture, but I can categorically state that, if he ever existed, all records of his service would have [REDACTED] during the [EXPUNGED] in 1963.
I thought the girl in the picture with Stalin was Engelsina Markizova who was Mongolic and most likely in her early 20s by 1953. The girl they showed here is Caucasian and in her mid teens
I love this movie but one thing that kind of annoys me is that the girl in the photograph that they are referring to was actually Asian. Her father was killed in a purge being accused of being a Japanese spy. I’ve actually seen the interview with the girl they’re talking about.
I'm not sure it is a true story, but I once read that Roosevelt and Stalin had a conference with only the two of them and the Russian interpreter. Roosevelt commented to Stalin that they would both be in trouble if the World ever found out what they had been discussing, or word to the effect. At their next meeting, Stalin told Roosevelt that he had the Russian interpreter shot.
A polish resistance fighter who resisted both German and Russian occupation once said that the torture methods of the NKVD made what the gestapo were doing look like child’s play
Delov's entire NKVD career after Stalin's death was to find a child for Malenkov. Somehow,.made me sympathetic to2rds him and hence happy that he survived the purge
Eh yes and no. They split the NKVD into the NKGB and MVD for a bit and then mashed it back into the KGB. But mostly it was just the letterhead that changed. It’s like the Cheka to OGPU to NKVD. The higher ups get liquidated but for your average “chekist” not much changed
@@samg5463 There were more transformations, NKGB existed in 1941 and between 1943-1946. Then renamed to MGB. NKVD became MVD in 1946. Along them KI MID existed between 1947-1951. In 1953 MVD and MGB were merged and in 1954 split to KGB and MVD. This was not just renaming whole departments were created or abolished in certain period NKVD administred from firefighters through borderderguard to counter-intelligence.

@@JelMain his name is Shoigu and he is from Tuva, a Mongolian looking tribe that speaks a Turkic language. His ethnic background is an advantage for Putin, because Shoigu could never replace him. The Russian people would not accept an half-Asian president.
It was great to see this clip, basically shows you what Beria knew. He seemed pretty confident at the meeting before the coup, with his Lackey listening in and he would probably conclude Malenkov was on his side.
I think the fact that Delov was a colonel, not just any ordinary officer, made his character special. He represented Beria’s top street cronies. To see a man of such a stature, probably feared by so many citizens getting a dressing-down by his superiors just like your average Ivan made it so interesting.
The details and dimensions in the dialogue and in their expressions. Priceless.
really highlights how good all these actors are and the writing of minor characters.
This guy would make a great doctor on a doomed Royal Navy expedition to find the Northwest Passage.
Or a doctor named Treves taking care of Merrick just off of Ripper Street.
just realized that`s the bloke who played doctor Goodsir
Holy shit didn’t realize that until I saw this. The beard makith the man. I try to get as many people as I can to watch that show, good to see others who have.
@1:41
Sums up my feelings by midweek perfectly.
Tambor was born for this stuff, he's fkn magic.
So Dr. Goodsir didn't die in the Arctic, he just went into cryogenic stasis like Captain America and was revived by the Soviets a century later.
This would be hysterical if it wasn’t at least partly true.
"Where'd you get that? Polish flamethrower?"
always cracks me up
sicko liked his job
You know what they say
If you like your job, you'll never work a day in your life
@@donovanyoutube6858 Indeed, because to you or that hypothetical individual it will never be "work" to you!
@@SStupendous this guy gets it
@@donovanyoutube6858 Great minds think alike
officer Delov is a good officer, always there for whatever purpose needed
Oh hey he's the guy who played Lee in utopia, cool
only reason I clicked
I adore his performance in Utopia, idk he just had so much _flair_ , especially in the second season.
That's "Colonel Delov of the Interior Ministry", to you.
Even though he was NKVD, I personally like Delov. He doesn't seem like a bad dude, just under a horrible, terrible, disgusting, vile creature named Beria.
And how, pray tell, do you think one gets to be so high-ranked under someone like Beria?
zhukov ought to have arrested stalin in the 20s,with about ten army officers for back up he could have done it and millions of decent russians would have lived to collect a pension
Poor Delov, such a pure soul
...for an NKVD officer
Note that he signals the conspirators in the window after the army arrives... which suggests that he was in on the coup as well.
@@KibuFox huh, I hadnt noticed that bit before, still looks just glad to walk out of all that while all the other NKVDs were getting shot
Beria giving Sadistic orders casually and with spice
Like something out of the sopranos or narcos
3:56 That officer had kind heart ❤️
Don't put the gas away yet
He’s also in Utopia.
The good Utopia and not the shitty remake.
2:34 Even if it's not his video Zhukov still gets the spotlight lmao
Just realized the hilarity of the situation of “finding the right girl” and KBG being unable to find her at first
There was a chance she was dead
- given the system which Stalin had implemented
By starvation or by the death squads
Or worse, by Bervia himself as she would’ve been in her twenties by that time.
Dark ironic humor really - in attempts to show the Soviet Union progress from one leader to another, the same girl would kiss the new leader; but because of the Soviet Union, the girl died
Turns out not the case, but still funny
"We DO know where she is! Stalin put her in Black Dolphin, and I have sent a plane for her. It will only take 4 days to get her back here....um. Just one thing. I am told by the commandant that no one will ever want a picture of her ever again.
Zhukov with all his medals 😂😂
Yes, although he is a rare case of actually having earned some of them. Political branch officers could use their medals as a moderately effective form of body armour by the time they reached General, without having necessarily seen any combat at all
Actually, Zhukov had waaaaay more medals on his chest, but they decided to show less in the movie because the directors were afraid people would thought they exagerated for comedy purpose.
@@Bigl00z that is easily one of the best bits of trivia about the movie.
Having an enormous number of medals is pretty standard for most communist regimes. It is part of how they motivate people, some visible icon to show others of their status in an otherwise statusless world.
@@Tugela60 no communist regime exists without classes and status. anything else they tell you is a lie.
Was this Delov a real person?
Who knows?
Maybe he WAS
I am not at liberty to confirm nor deny such flippantly bourgeois conjecture, but I can categorically state that, if he ever existed, all records of his service would have [REDACTED] during the [EXPUNGED] in 1963.
I don't know...was Polnikov a real person?
Thousands of them
‘The army’s back, did you miss us?’
Delov is for sure the one telling us this story lol. Hes present for practically every major event....
Marshal Zhukov could have easily overthrown Stalin if he wasnt wraped up in a war.
Not bad, espesialy last episode. Autor of the plot showed Malenkov, Zhukov and Beria's relationships in the best way (they hated each other).
Why must the bad guys always have awesome uniforms
“Christ, where’d you get that? A Polish flamethrower?”
2:36 - Stalin sneekily snuck back in as an under cover agent!
Field Marshal Zhukov's introduction will never not be funny
I thought the girl in the picture with Stalin was Engelsina Markizova who was Mongolic and most likely in her early 20s by 1953. The girl they showed here is Caucasian and in her mid teens
Yes. They also didn’t speak English. Genius.
@@ihmpall They can at least get a black-haired woman in her early 20s.
I love this movie but one thing that kind of annoys me is that the girl in the photograph that they are referring to was actually Asian. Her father was killed in a purge being accused of being a Japanese spy. I’ve actually seen the interview with the girl they’re talking about.
Richard Sorge ?
Holy shit its the guy from Utopia
And that cook on the HMS Terror
I'm not sure it is a true story, but I once read that Roosevelt and Stalin had a conference with only the two of them and the Russian interpreter. Roosevelt commented to Stalin that they would both be in trouble if the World ever found out what they had been discussing, or word to the effect. At their next meeting, Stalin told Roosevelt that he had the Russian interpreter shot.
A dark hilarious thoughtful film with a great cast
One of the greatest comedies based on history ever I’ll forever feel like it went exactly like this 😉🤦🏼♂️🤣
Best Part: The Army’s Back!! Did you miss us?
The way Delov signals after the army arrives at the Kremlin, makes me think he was in on the coup.
He had to work with *Beria* , I wouldn't doubt it if his dog/cat was in on it to see him swing.
I think the NKVD is worse then the SS.
You knew when the SS would come for you, you wouldn't know when the NKVD would come for you.
A polish resistance fighter who resisted both German and Russian occupation once said that the torture methods of the NKVD made what the gestapo were doing look like child’s play
"Alright girls, the Snow King does not approve!" , even the throwaway lines in this movie are hilarious.
Why does he say? "Dogs, oh dear..."
The dogs were there to track down anyone who ran.
@@naibakie8519 wow, thank you
that last clip, was NKVD Officer Delov working for the army all along? what a twist
Delov's entire NKVD career after Stalin's death was to find a child for Malenkov.
Somehow,.made me sympathetic to2rds him and hence happy that he survived the purge
Best channel
1:17 That copycat in the robe looks more like Stalin then the actual guy who played Stalin.
Hey Unlisted Thoughts, could you do “The Death Of Stalin” but it’s only Nikita Khrushchev?
I prefer the background characters but it's always a possibility. Not gonna do any Death of Stalin videos very soon though.
@@UnlistedThoughts how about but it's only Molotov or Bulganin
That’s basically the whole movie
I just realized that guy is the same guy who played Lee in Utopia, and somehow he’s less intimidating as a murderous NKVD agent
look, its funny bright suit guy from le bright color show
I love that the guy playing this dweeb is the same guy who plays the terrifying child murderer Lee in _Utopia._
NKVD was dissolved in 1946.
The NKVD went through so many iterations I can see why a blanket term for them has stuck.
What you meant to say was "had I minor rebranding and a name change in 1946".
Eh yes and no. They split the NKVD into the NKGB and MVD for a bit and then mashed it back into the KGB. But mostly it was just the letterhead that changed. It’s like the Cheka to OGPU to NKVD. The higher ups get liquidated but for your average “chekist” not much changed
@@samg5463 There were more transformations, NKGB existed in 1941 and between 1943-1946. Then renamed to MGB. NKVD became MVD in 1946. Along them KI MID existed between 1947-1951. In 1953 MVD and MGB were merged and in 1954 split to KGB and MVD. This was not just renaming whole departments were created or abolished in certain period NKVD administred from firefighters through borderderguard to counter-intelligence.
@@SoundAndFuryy "I had a minor rebranding and a name change" Sounds a lot like the USSR and the Russian Federation
ogod i love zhukov, he's so awesome in this movie lol
WTH?? 👀.. When did this come out..??
Jason Isaacs has entered the building..
Steve Buscemi as Kruschev - "he's got the whole world in his hands.. 🎶🎵".. now THIS is something I gotta see.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Field Marshall Zukhov 😂😂😂
2:38 Fun fact: Zhukov actually had more medals than that, but when the actor put them on it looked too ridiculous.
I love tragicomedy, this movie is absolutely perfect...
