Khrushchev's autobiography is a great look at Stalin in his final years. Stalin also enjoyed making Khrushchev dance at these events, and there were a few occasions where officials lost their temper with Stalin but managed to avoid any consequences for whatever reason
If you want to know about Hitler's personal life and routine read Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer. I couldn't put it down, one of the most fascinating books I have ever read.
for those who are interested, the photo where the man to the right of Stalin disappears is real. The man is Nikolai Yezhov (nicknamed the Bloody Dwarf as he was 5ft tall), head of the NKVD from 1936-8, who presided over the most infamous period of purges in the USSR, known as Yezhovshchina. However, in December 1938, Stalin called an end to this period, and Yezhov was arrested as Stalin needed a scapegoat for the horrifying excesses of the NKVD under Yezhov. He was shot in 1940, and the photo of Stalin, Molotov and Voroshilov was doctored to completely remove Yezhov. He earned the name "the vanishing commissar" later due to his complete disappearance.
The part with the scapegoat is how western historians would interpret it... In reality Ezhov was the crazy one... Stalin would not ever want to just kill people randomly, who did nothing... If so, then counterrevolutionaries, murderers, rapists etc... But Ezhov had a fetish shooting people by himself... so it was Ezhov who was the psychopath... and yes there were purges in the party, but thats a different story
@@mikhailalmaz Are You certain of that? Because I read of a story that during the performance of 'The Swan Lake' when there was an intermission, Staling went to the nearby NKVD prison, shot or ordered five random prisoners to be shot, then returned for the next act of the ballet.
most dictators are film buffs. Hitler was a fan of Charlie Chaplin till he made the great dictator and even offered a bounty equivalent of $10,000 at the time if Clark gable was sucessfully captured alive if he was shot down he also secretly loved to draw Disney characters on his downtime. Kim Jong ill had south Korean actors actresses and directors kidnapped to do movies for him his son had a collection of 10000 DVD movies. Saddam Hussein plunged $30 million of government money into the production of an epic war movie starring British acting legend Oliver Reed. The film was called Clash of Loyalties, it was made in 1983 Colonel Gaddafi set up a state-funded channel that constantly replayed his favourite film: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai ' Mussolini in the 1930s approched columbia pictures with a milion dollars to do a biopic about him and his rise to power.
Stalin loved John Wayne movies, and then tried to get the Duke assassinated, but Stalin died before it could be carried out. Khrushchev, another John Wayne fan, saw to it that the order was cancelled.
@chicken - Fascist Weeb ᛋᛋ Actually was most because the germans were allies of the Republic of China even before the nazis took the power. But after the japonese embassy protest against german intervention, they stop supporting China, preffering to stay with Japan, mostly because at the time seems that Japan would win the sino-japonese war.
@@yja496 Stalin being secretary allowed him to appoint people who were loyal to him, and who supported him, like Kamnev and Zinoviev who actually persuaded the Bolshevik party not to release Lenin’s testament, which directly stated that he wanted Stalin replaced and his power limited.

You have to wonder if that was just a story that they told people, to give the impression that the Soviet leadership was working day and night for the benefit of the war effort
@@pamady276 or they loved their motherland... you westerners can't imagine that, but that is how actually in the USSR thought, not like you about only money...
Interesting fact: Both Khrushchev and Brezhnev were also big fans of American western films/shows (Brezhnev's favorite was The Rifleman IIRC, he even personally met with star Chuck Connors at an event). One possibility as to why the Soviets would enjoy them so much is that they viewed the films as often showing common men standing up to elites or tyrannical forces (which they may have compared to the proletariat people smashing the bourgeoisie). A very intriguing US-Soviet connection across the Cold War.
Zhukov was almost on the "list" after the war, but he was too popular to be killed.(as far as I know) Imagine the reaction of the others if you kill the war hero and the best men in the army you have...
Didn't stop him before the War with his purges.That disarray, and leadership vacuum allowed the Germans to initially roll over the Red Army during "Barbarossa".
This is historical revisionism, there was no indication of an execution of Zhukov being considered at all. Zhukov was one person Stalin trusted with his life.
My grandfather still remembers the day when a Tv was reeled into his school room in Poland with a Soviet broadcast announcing that "The Glorius Leader Joseph Stalin has died."
More like he wanted to find a way that if they're not following his orders, he can order to purge them. He's been a dictator, after all. He couldn't trust anyone

One thing that you must remember was that Stalin worked SUPER HARD. He was a boots-on-the-ground while he was one of the Old Bolksheviks. He worked hard, was a team player, and had really good social skills. He hated lazy people.

While most people who actually take a moment to think about stalin in a serius manner they'll probobly think something like "yeah wow, he was actually a very brutal man". Meanwhile people from eastern europe hate him on a much more personal level because it was his idea to spread communism to the eastern european countries like mine, Bulgaria. To give you a *slight* indication as to how much us eastern europeans hate communism and stalin i will tell you that - pretty much every lenin statue in eastern europe has been vandilised - communism is banned in all of eastern europe except for the former yougoslavia states and russia which were the only ones that became communist out of their own will - the mozoluem of the first dicator of communist Bulgaria has been blown up - and i know of a polish anticommnunist song where the first line literally translates to "Beat the bolshivik in his every form"
The soviet bastards ruined Romania as well, replacing intelectuals with loyal ineffective puppets. I hate seeing communism being glorified and praised...granted, It did build industrial possibilities and stuff, but in most cases it degenerated to the point that you eould be shot for not being enamored enough.

My grandfather says he loved 1st May Marches in Polish People's Republic mostly for the caricature of Churchill. 😅 My mom, however, liked them for shorter lessons during preperations.
I read someplace (I don't remember where for sure) that Khrushchev basically ignored Stalin's pleas for assistance after Stalin had his stroke and just basically left him there to die. Khrushchev was one of Stalin's closest advisors later in the dictator's life. Khrushchev three years later gave the Secret Speech in which he denounced Stalin's purges (which K had been personally involved with as well).
In Roy Medvedev's book "the unknown Stalin" it seems that it was actually Beria who was reluctant to call medical assistance to that dacha, although all if them had motive not to help save life of leader who planned to kill them eventually.
Khrushchev wasn't just involved. In July 1937, they started period know as Great Terror, in which commission of 3 men (from NKVD and Party) could investigate, arrest, sentence to death certain number of people for "counter-revolutionary activities". When setting a quota, Khrushchev came and demanded that 8000 people be set as a limit in Moscow. Stalin responded that it can't be that many, but Khrushchev insisted. Initially, 5000 executions were allowed, with Politburo approving more later that year. In 1938, Koisor, leader of Ukrainian communist party was called to Moscow, where he was executed. He was then replaced by Khrushchev. In Moscow and Ukraine, terror very intense compared to many other regions. Even Jezhov (NKVD boss) and other members, criticized excesses in those areas even before summer 1938 when most of Politburo started to see it Terror as a chaotic mistake. Stalin was a dictator that kept himself in power by excessive violence, but I wouldn't believe Khrushchev and Zhukov when they claim that Stalin is solely responsible for Terror, famine and losses of 1941-1942, while they only kept their mouth shut and were doing their job (and are therefore mostly responsible for calming of terror or win of 1943-1945). Both of them were at the side of Stalin, fully willingly participating in the system and did their own "mistakes" that were paid in lives of hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens. Read about operation Mars for instance.
Stalin was a monster. But no one can deny that he had an iron clad work ethic. This was the key to his power. While Hitler would wile away his days doing nothing, Stalin would sit in his office and micromanage every detail of the war. This goes to show that if you want to win a war, you should be willing to pull your weight.
My family is from the Soviet Union and my grandparents always speak highly of Stalin and how he saved the Soviet Union And that many of the sacrifices were necessary
Your grandparents are very intelligent and wise. Revolution is always violent, many who live in their comfortable suburban american houses fail to understand this and make no mistake what stalin did was a continuation of the revolution.
Yeah my parents are from georgia and say the same. Theres a lot of western propaganda. If stalin hadnt industrialized the nation within a few years, though at the expense of millions of human lives, the germans would have annihilated the country and many more people would have died.
I gotta be honest. The first time that I saw and heard Joseph Stalin, I never looked at him as a rudeless and paranoid dictator, that killed even more people than Hitler. I really thought at first that he was a charismatic and optimist military leader, who wants his country to survive and win the WW2 with a lot of proud and patriotism to their comrades. Unlike Hitler, which only seeing him on pictures, with a very serious or angry expressions, along with his particular mustache, and hearing his agresive speeches against the jews, I looked at him instantly as a complete evil and psychotic monster. But I guess this also made me learn a lesson, about "don't judge a book by its cover".
in his youth he really wanted to be priest and wrote poems about hopes and patriotism. he was complicated man. im georgian and i have read his georgian poems.
You should make this a series. I think a day in the life of Hitler and a day in the life of jfk (during the Cuban missile crisis) would make great videos
it's amazing to your art style improve so much over the years. the character models have more detail and the animation is more smooth compared to your older videos and I think if you give your characters pupils in their eyes it would make them more aesthetically appealing.
Extraordinary work! Remarkable Is the similarity between Stalin's routine and Hitler's: he also suffered from insomnia and spent night hours chattering with their entourage -Goebbels, Bormann, Keitel etc- even they usually fell asleep. Maybe nor him or Stalin could bear loneliness.
“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
"You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators." -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nearly everyone has heard of the Holocaust, but very few have heard of the holdamorst which was Stalin's Holocaust except it killed nearly twice the amount of people the Holocaust did
Stalin is the most popular leader amongst post-soviet people to this day. Also, Mikoyan was a famous liar lmao. Either way, Love and respect to our great leader Joseph Stalin!!!!!!!
he was a "champagne socialist" especially once the war was over and he had no one left to fight. He spent the latter half of his life in comfort and even luxury in some cases while people starved, fought over the most basic of goods, and suffered under communism.
The first quarter of the movie Death of Stalin is a ridiculously funny peak into the routine of Stalin, including his dinner parties with ministers.
Khrushchev's autobiography is a great look at Stalin in his final years. Stalin also enjoyed making Khrushchev dance at these events, and there were a few occasions where officials lost their temper with Stalin but managed to avoid any consequences for whatever reason

It would be interesting to do something similar with Hitler, Churchill and Roosevelt!
This is much needed. I’m planning to write a book and my main villain is Stalin inspired.

Sounds good, will it try to be historically accurate or more centered on transmitting emotions, or both?
Cool, is the protagonist hitler?

While most people who actually take a moment to think about stalin in a serius manner they'll probobly think something like "yeah wow, he was actually a very brutal man".
Meanwhile people from eastern europe hate him on a much more personal level because it was his idea to spread communism to the eastern european countries like mine, Bulgaria. To give you a *slight* indication as to how much us eastern europeans hate communism and stalin i will tell you that
- pretty much every lenin statue in eastern europe has been vandilised
- communism is banned in all of eastern europe except for the former yougoslavia states and russia which were the only ones that became communist out of their own will
- the mozoluem of the first dicator of communist Bulgaria has been blown up
- and i know of a polish anticommnunist song where the first line literally translates to "Beat the bolshivik in his every form"
The soviet bastards ruined Romania as well, replacing intelectuals with loyal ineffective puppets. I hate seeing
communism being glorified and praised...granted, It did build industrial possibilities and stuff, but in most cases it degenerated to the point that you eould be shot for not being enamored enough. The best anti commie argument in my opinion sits in the Berlin wall. As Kennedy said : Democracy is not perfect, but we never had to put a wall up to keep our people in"

My grandfather says he loved 1st May Marches in Polish People's Republic mostly for the caricature of Churchill. 😅
My mom, however, liked them for shorter lessons during preperations.
I read someplace (I don't remember where for sure) that Khrushchev basically ignored Stalin's pleas for assistance after Stalin had his stroke and just basically left him there to die. Khrushchev was one of Stalin's closest advisors later in the dictator's life. Khrushchev three years later gave the Secret Speech in which he denounced Stalin's purges (which K had been personally involved with as well).
In Roy Medvedev's book "the unknown Stalin" it seems that it was actually Beria who was reluctant to call medical assistance to that dacha, although all if them had motive not to help save life of leader who planned to kill them eventually.
Khrushchev wasn't just involved. In July 1937, they started period know as Great Terror, in which commission of 3 men (from NKVD and Party) could investigate, arrest, sentence to death certain number of people for "counter-revolutionary activities". When setting a quota, Khrushchev came and demanded that 8000 people be set as a limit in Moscow. Stalin responded that it can't be that many, but Khrushchev insisted. Initially, 5000 executions were allowed, with Politburo approving more later that year. In 1938, Koisor, leader of Ukrainian communist party was called to Moscow, where he was executed. He was then replaced by Khrushchev. In Moscow and Ukraine, terror very intense compared to many other regions. Even Jezhov (NKVD boss) and other members, criticized excesses in those areas even before summer 1938 when most of Politburo started to see it Terror as a chaotic mistake. Stalin was a dictator that kept himself in power by excessive violence, but I wouldn't believe Khrushchev and Zhukov when they claim that Stalin is solely responsible for Terror, famine and losses of 1941-1942, while they only kept their mouth shut and were doing their job (and are therefore mostly responsible for calming of terror or win of 1943-1945). Both of them were at the side of Stalin, fully willingly participating in the system and did their own "mistakes" that were paid in lives of hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens. Read about operation Mars for instance.
Stalin was a monster. But no one can deny that he had an iron clad work ethic. This was the key to his power. While Hitler would wile away his days doing nothing, Stalin would sit in his office and micromanage every detail of the war. This goes to show that if you want to win a war, you should be willing to pull your weight.
I have been watching Simple History for awhile now and I have to say that this video was animated very well. Keep up the great work. ❤❤

My family is from the Soviet Union and my grandparents always speak highly of Stalin and how he saved the Soviet Union And that many of the sacrifices were necessary
Your grandparents are very intelligent and wise. Revolution is always violent, many who live in their comfortable suburban american houses fail to understand this and make no mistake what stalin did was a continuation of the revolution.
@@bigchezzy8989 lol

Lesson of Today: Being a totalitarian dictator is very stressful and a lot of hard work.
I gotta be honest. The first time that I saw and heard Joseph Stalin, I never looked at him as a rudeless and paranoid dictator, that killed even more people than Hitler. I really thought at first that he was a charismatic and optimist military leader, who wants his country to survive and win the WW2 with a lot of proud and patriotism to their comrades. Unlike Hitler, which only seeing him on pictures, with a very serious or angry expressions, along with his particular mustache, and hearing his agresive speeches against the jews, I looked at him instantly as a complete evil and psychotic monster. But I guess this also made me learn a lesson, about "don't judge a book by its cover".
Stalin did not kill more people than Hitler
He was a complicated character for sure
in his youth he really wanted to be priest and wrote poems about hopes and patriotism. he was complicated man. im georgian and i have read his georgian poems.
Well the animations are way more beautiful than usual...great video
You should make this a series. I think a day in the life of Hitler and a day in the life of jfk (during the Cuban missile crisis) would make great videos
it's amazing to your art style improve so much over the years. the character models have more detail and the animation is more smooth compared to your older videos and I think if you give your characters pupils in their eyes it would make them more aesthetically appealing.
I like the new art style of this historic animation, keep up the good work🙂
Stalin: I would like to invite you over for dinner
Me: Sorry but I have to spend the night at the Castle of Count Dracula.
😂😂😂😂
Extraordinary work! Remarkable Is the similarity between Stalin's routine and Hitler's: he also suffered from insomnia and spent night hours chattering with their entourage -Goebbels, Bormann, Keitel etc- even they usually fell asleep. Maybe nor him or Stalin could bear loneliness.
Great video, really cool to see how much your guys animation has improved
Love the new animation style! Good job!
This video inspires me to choose stalin as a career option. Thank you for great content as always!
"And gangsta movies" Stalin miss the old days with the boys 😭
Interesting new art style.
Keep it up.
“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
After a hundred or so years, this Quote may come true. History can be rewritten, and Stalin in the next hundred years will be hailed as a hero.
Day in the life of Stalin! Sounds like something that should be in a double feature with "One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich"
I like how you ended it with Stalin Peeing himself at 9:02
He might be a dictator but he's a hero saving us from Nazis during ww2 not just Stalin but Winston and Franklin

When simply history accually teaches you something but school doesnt
"You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You guys portrayed Stalin's death perfectly. Right down the ruined carpet.
Perfect ending for one of history's cruelest, murderous criminals. In a puddle of his own piss.

He was loved famous georgian books,he did many many many things,he did one good thing to Georgia
he was a "champagne socialist" especially once the war was over and he had no one left to fight. He spent the latter half of his life in comfort and even luxury in some cases while people starved, fought over the most basic of goods, and suffered under communism.
He became a capitalist tyrant
For a moment it sounds so wholesome
"He grew up in a small Georgian town."
