The USSR actively endorsed “scientific atheism” by funding the Militant Atheists and funding museums of atheism, etc. I agree that religious persecution in the USSR is not discussed honestly. Yes the Soviets seized their private property and (stolen) wealth. But they were Communists, ALL private property and wealth was outlawed and seized. Religious resistors were killed or jailed, but ALL resistors were killed or jailed. But you’re right, under the Imperial Monarchy, Russian Orthodox Christianity was the official religion, and heresy was brutally persecuted. Heretical literature was banned. Under Czar Alexander, a million Muslim Circassians were exterminated-men, women, and the boys. The young girls, faired a different kind of deprived violence.
Eli B Secular states are neutral on matters of religion. The USSR has a secular constitution, but in practice it actively promoted atheism. After WW2 Stalin drastically stoped promoting atheism and rehabilitated the Orthodox Church. So during this period, you might call it quasi-secular. But the State still maintained tight control.

Stalin 1945 Stalin’s son was captured by the Germans and the Germans wanted to exchange him for a captured German officer, but Stalin said, “I won’t exchange soldiers for officers.” Stalin had 3 tunics and 3 boots all his life, Stalin did not live in luxurious houses and passed away in military uniform leaving Russia with a nuclear bomb
The order to defend Stalingrad was given because of the strategic importance of the city on the Volga river, not because of its name, and Kirov was killed by Stalins enemies
Kirov was eliminated by Stalin himself (i.e on Stalin's Orders). Stalin was greatly jealous of Kirov's popularity and hence saw Kirov's death as a way to eliminate any threat, perceived or otherwise, to his absolute Power.
Stalingrad was not defended so viciously just because it bore Stalin's name. But because it was a strategic transit road from the Caucuses to the rest of the Union and the USSRs primary source of Oil. Germany just needed to be starved of oil, so they could not let them turn the tables by taking the caucuses. It simply was a very strategic position. Saying that it was defended viciously just in his name is just an uneducated revisionism of historical facts and documentation.
OZX7S You are completely correct, but I think that Stalingrad had more symbolic meaning to Hitler than to Stalin. Military historians say that Stalingrad was city no different from any other that Germans conquered earlier in their campaign, it could've been easily surrounded and cut of the Russian supplies and reinforcements and would have to surrender in a short time, but luckily for us, the good guys, Hitler had no clue in tactics and wanted to conquer the city, as I remember from documentaries, with air bombings and frontal assault... and that story ended in Berlin in 1945...
Драшко Дашић, Stalin did not care about Stalingrad as much as Hitler did, Hitler compared to Stalin... Hitler was an over-enthusiastic child, Stalin... a heartless monster, who feared no one.
Isn’t it crazy how many crazy dictators do not even come from the great country they led? Napoleon was from Corsica, Stalin was from Georgia, Adolf was from Austria... keep an eye on charismatic and influential foreigners, folks!
Corsica still is and was part of France also Georgia was part of Russia during all of Stalin's lifetime. And I wouldnt call Napoleon a crazy dictator but a monarch what he did helped France the wars he caused were mostly in defence or to maintain other nations to keep fighting Britain. He did do megalomaniac things like invading Spain though. I also even though stalin was evil it helped protect Russians from a bigger genocide since all of them would of been killed by Hitler.

No. This is just a myth, that Stalin told to deffend Stalingrad at all costs. However, he said to protect the city at all costs. Because if they'd lose the city, Germany would get Caucasian oil, which is southern part of USSR, and Soviet oil industry would be destroyed. Which meant complete failure for USSR.
The way Stalin died was actually pretty funny because he had stoke and was on the floor of his office but none of his guards would go in to help him because they were to scared of him.
@@Dimad817 2.5 million workers passed through the GULAG. The gulag is not a concentration camp, in the gulag they received the minimum wage and after their release they could live in the settlement or return to their homeland, get an education and work. After all, Korolyov was a prisoner of the GULAG because of the waste of funds, but then he was able to make the USSR a pioneer in space
As a fun fact, Stalin didn't drink vodka. He pretended to, but drinking water instead. You can find this in Shtemenkos biography, who discovered the trick, drinking from Stalin's jar when he wasn`t watching. During a dinner, Shtemenko wanted to know what kind of liquor (vodka, he wondered) he was mixing with his wine. But Stalin noticed what happened (perhaps because the position of the jar, perhaps because of Shtemenkos face) and, smiling, he whispered: "careful, it's a very strong drink". Stalin was an amazing actor.
Its Jugashvilli. But need to say, that on Georgian language - "Juga" means "steel" lika "Stal' " on Russian language. So i can say, that Stalin just make his name more russian
Dear author! I understand that you probably cannot have other sources in your country that would not write about Stalin in a negative way, but I have to note many mistakes that only denigrate Stalin. Starting with the nonsense that the workers could be sent to the Gulag for not working out the norm. And ending with the fact that Stalingrad was defended only because the city bore the name of Stalin. Stalingrad was not defended because of this (why, then, was Stalino - now Donetsk not so stubbornly defended?) The reason for the defense of Stalingrad was that its loss would cut off the Caucasus from the rest of the USSR and free up some of the German divisions for operations in the Caucasus. And by the way, it was along the Volga that almost the entire UNION was supplied with fuel. So I advise you to check the sources.

He was afraid of peanuts. He was afraid of milk because he was lactose intolerant. He wad afraid of stroke.
Stalin didn't die on March 5th, 1953, or, rather, we aren't entirely sure. He died somewhere between March 4th and March 6th I believe. He was found dead in his office, but he had not been seen for a few days, around three days I believe. No one wanted to barge into his office or otherwise disturb him, because that could lead to a swift execution, so people waited for a long time to check up on him, and when they finally did check on him, he had died. So in short, he may have died on March 5th, but we're not entirely sure. Just a little something I wanted to add ;)
+Light What about modern American prisoners? Up to this date, private prisons keep using the penal labor in the same way, they even manage to earn good money on them, without paying anyone, its a huge industry in the USA, so how is it different? Well, I know the main difference is that in Soviet prisons were a lot higher rate of mortality, but hey, it was a long time ago and it was truly harsh times, there was no time to care about the well being of criminals.
Penal workers do get paid... just less than minimal wage. Doesn't make it much better but that way US prison system can claim it's not slavery... just in another name.
Homie Rami thats true the allies sent equipment like jeeps that were used to chase the Germans back into Germany and without them they probably wouldn’t of been able to push into Germany and take it so Stalingrad was a major part of the ussr
Stalin real birth date is 6 Dec 1878, Gori, Georgia. At the beginning he was known as a poet in Georgia. His poem "The morning" is what almost every Georgian knows.

1 MILLION YEARS GULAG.
Nice comment, Facist.
This was the very first video I watched from simple history about the same day it came out and I became drawn into their other videos especially for a history nerd like me hope y’all keep up the good work with these videos been subscribed to you guys since 2018 always brings me back memories when I watched this video all those years ago and many others at that time
Demonetized
Jonathan Mottern its just a joke tbh
Heath George Well that went over my head. Thanks for the explanation. With UA-cam it wouldn't surprise me with how they are these days.
No. This is just a myth, that Stalin told to deffend Stalingrad at all costs. However, he said to protect the city at all costs. Because if they'd lose the city, Germany would get Caucasian oil, which is southern part of USSR, and Soviet oil industry would be destroyed. Which meant complete failure for USSR.
Dimasik Ivanov the Germans actually could have just bypassed the city, the diverted needed resources to Stalingrad away from the causcaus
The way Stalin died was actually pretty funny because he had stoke and was on the floor of his office but none of his guards would go in to help him because they were to scared of him.
Also he urinated himself
Simple History wot
Simple History eh ok? i definetly didnt want to read this from you.
Simple History lel
He was a stupid, isnt he?
Worker: *is exhausted and therefore gradually works less*
Stalin: I diagnose you with treason
Workers: i cant work anymore
Stalin: there's only two way, funeral or gulag
Stalingrad is the best way.
no,I think 3rd option is miltilary
So in the USSR, for the first time, the working day was reduced to 8 hours, and in the 1930s, at some hazardous enterprises, to 6 hours.
@@greatestshowmen9306 also sending in gulag 20 mlj people is not true
@@Dimad817 2.5 million workers passed through the GULAG. The gulag is not a concentration camp, in the gulag they received the minimum wage and after their release they could live in the settlement or return to their homeland, get an education and work. After all, Korolyov was a prisoner of the GULAG because of the waste of funds, but then he was able to make the USSR a pioneer in space
Lenin died when he was 53 years old for a brain stroke.
Stalin died after a brain stroke in the 1953.
COINCIDENCES??
Yes, coincidence. That's what a coincidence is, lol.

My dad just finished a book called 'young Stalin'. It's all about his background and early life, it'd be great for your project.

@Iosif Stalin from 30 million soldiers 17 of them have been killed by wehrmacht
No stallin is georgian hold my wine
As a fun fact, Stalin didn't drink vodka. He pretended to, but drinking water instead. You can find this in Shtemenkos biography, who discovered the trick, drinking from Stalin's jar when he wasn`t watching. During a dinner, Shtemenko wanted to know what kind of liquor (vodka, he wondered) he was mixing with his wine. But Stalin noticed what happened (perhaps because the position of the jar, perhaps because of Shtemenkos face) and, smiling, he whispered: "careful, it's a very strong drink".
Stalin was an amazing actor.
"He adopted the name Stalin"
Never tells us his real name.
Joseph Jugashvili,
Joseph besarion jugashivili
In their defense... it's not easy.
Its Jugashvilli. But need to say, that on Georgian language - "Juga" means "steel" lika "Stal' " on Russian language.
So i can say, that Stalin just make his name more russian
@@PAK_FA Thank you for the additional information! Very interesting.
Dear author! I understand that you probably cannot have other sources in your country that would not write about Stalin in a negative way, but I have to note many mistakes that only denigrate Stalin. Starting with the nonsense that the workers could be sent to the Gulag for not working out the norm. And ending with the fact that Stalingrad was defended only because the city bore the name of Stalin. Stalingrad was not defended because of this (why, then, was Stalino - now Donetsk not so stubbornly defended?) The reason for the defense of Stalingrad was that its loss would cut off the Caucasus from the rest of the USSR and free up some of the German divisions for operations in the Caucasus. And by the way, it was along the Volga that almost the entire UNION was supplied with fuel. So I advise you to check the sources.
Unrelated, but that Civ 6 pfp is pretty cool
Смысл им что-то доказывать когда у них Солженицына просто боготворят и верят каждой его лжи. Жаль конечно что они никогда не узнают за этой завесой лжи и обмана от пропаганды что на самом деле этот человек не был злодеем как его описывают.
Многим бесполезно что-то доказывать, их пропаганда хорошо делает своё дело, заставляя поверить в несуществующие вещи. Это очень грустно, особенно учитывая то, что сейчас в интернете каждый может найти подтверждение реальных событий, но очень мало людей этим занимается
@@Roman-iw9sq lmfao executing millions and sending them to gulag camps for any reason he found isnt villian?
workers could be sent to the gulag for not working the quotas lmfao where did you get this give me the source
Before the video:
*Gulash*
After the video:
*Gulag*
Is good comrade
I can’t get enough of Simple History
Stalin greater than Roman empire and mob also defeated Hitler
"And wanted him to become a Priest" HAHAHAHA
He actually went farther with that than this video explains. As a teenager he attended the priest's school but his father kept taking him from there to work in a shoe factory (his father was a shoemaker and wanted him to follow his footsteps).
I can personally recommend the book under further reading: Geoffrey Hosking's "Russia and the Russians". It's a great book, and as far as I can tell, very objective.
Thx mate

Похоже автор этого видео изучал историю по методичкам Йозефа Геббельса
Да чего уж там, здесь кроме рассказа о его детстве и вступления в партию вообще ни слова правды
Но даже про детство и юность многое не рассказали
@@hanshansen2408 ну ролик пять минут длится, а детство по сравнению с остальной жизнью было не особо интересно. Но я рад что они хотя бы не начали рассказывать о том что в 9 он изнасиловал и расчленил свою собаку во имя сатаны
Axaxa это точно. Ограничились хотя бы тем, что назвали его параноиком и сумасшедшим несколько раз. У меня к нему неоднозначное отношение, но все же их Черчилль или Рузвельт по сравнению со Сталиным были никем.
Субтитры не правильно передали сообщение авторов;либо же вашы умения в английском языке лимитированы. Они иммели ввиду что Город был особенно важным для удержания,поскольку он носил имя Сталина, не только по этой причине.

In the Gulag with you
Stalin didn't die on March 5th, 1953, or, rather, we aren't entirely sure. He died somewhere between March 4th and March 6th I believe. He was found dead in his office, but he had not been seen for a few days, around three days I believe. No one wanted to barge into his office or otherwise disturb him, because that could lead to a swift execution, so people waited for a long time to check up on him, and when they finally did check on him, he had died. So in short, he may have died on March 5th, but we're not entirely sure. Just a little something I wanted to add ;)
I love this channel so much!!!!
You're too bro xD
germany has camps
us has camps
ussr has gulag
at the same time
sorry but many people died in american camps... native americans and japaneese americans
+Light What about modern American prisoners? Up to this date, private prisons keep using the penal labor in the same way, they even manage to earn good money on them, without paying anyone, its a huge industry in the USA, so how is it different? Well, I know the main difference is that in Soviet prisons were a lot higher rate of mortality, but hey, it was a long time ago and it was truly harsh times, there was no time to care about the well being of criminals.
Penal workers do get paid... just less than minimal wage. Doesn't make it much better but that way US prison system can claim it's not slavery... just in another name.
Camping used to be so popular!
03:44 um not because of Stalin’s name because Stalingrad was the city where allies transferred to the Soviet Union rifles through Persia
Homie Rami thats true the allies sent equipment like jeeps that were used to chase the Germans back into Germany and without them they probably wouldn’t of been able to push into Germany and take it so Stalingrad was a major part of the ussr
03:44 he was mentioning the symbolic part
Gerros Calago symbolically Soviets said “There is no land behind Volga”
Stalin real birth date is 6 Dec 1878, Gori, Georgia. At the beginning he was known as a poet in Georgia. His poem "The morning" is what almost every Georgian knows.
