I think it's also important to point out that Stalin was Georgian and not Russian, which was a factor in how he ruled.
Erdogan is also ethnically Georgian. So what?
Stalin was born in the Russian empire. By defaut He was a Russian. Ethnic Georgian and Ossetian. You do not have to be a East Slavic to Be Russian. One the geeat Russian Goalkeeper Rinat Dassev is ethnic Tatar.
Stalin was a Russian nationalist to the degree that it would have Alenxader II blush. Seems counter-intuitive but Anglo-American notions of identity and race don't apply to Eurasia. Identity is a choice and Stalin garbed himself in the mythos of great Russian rulers.
He talked about this point right before the clip starts
Napoleon wasn’t French he was Corsican and Hitler wasn’t German he was Austrian. These distinction are absurd as they were not independent countries and was all governed under the same umbrella empire
Ooooh I only know this cuz I took a Russian History class in college. Stalin was ruthlessly efficient with his rise to power
Homie cut his way through the line to the death bed of Lenin
When Khrushchev stepped down, he wrote a letter to his successor and told them to blame him for the failures in domestic and foreign policy. And he gave them one piece of advice, if things went sour write a letter to their successor and tell them the same thing.
Sounds A LOT like what Kamala Harris wants to do‼️ And what’s been happening under Biden‼️

You are delusional
Lmao. Trump tried to steal the election and is a wannabe dictator. Try again.

First to comment let's go!
XI DOSNT GET CORRECT DATA MAN
So, even though Stalin who was trained to be a priest, had some religious knowledge of morality, of right from wrong, dispels that myth of ethical standard. Because Stalin ordered and did commit crimes against humanity even after the second world war with political purges and ethnic cleansings. However, this is the most important part, because Stalin "won" the war he got to decide who was good and evil.
Isn't most USA farming today run by big companies, not small farmers?
Yes but this was in the 1920s.
Just watched The Death of Stalin.. highly recommend!!
Hey Joe !!! Where is the omelet ???
Get one thing straight: Stalin wasn't incompetent. He had a high work ethic Maybe drank, but as someone said, he was the CEO of the Soviet Union. He saw himself as the CEO, so he couldn't be bribed.
Its important to remember that in his testament right before he died, Lenin was harshly critical of Stalin, and did not endorse him. He ascribed some positive attributes to him but did not believe he was fit to succeed.
what he was saying about trotsky at the end there… “re-configure” people? sounds an awful lot like gender-transitioning to me
As a young man Stalin attended a seminary Stalin, preparing for the priesthood. Around that time he read Das Kapital and discovered it to be a new bible in which to believe in. Stalin was not only a Marxist true believer but later used his unshaken belief in Marxism as justifying all his actions as upholding his new found faith.
Right wingers like you dont understand that leftists have no bible. Das Kapital is simply a book that criticized what was going on in that era, its not a holy scripture. Merely a step in the good direction, and probably full of faults which will be addressed and corrected in time.
This Guy spews the same old trotskyist propaganda that Stalin was intellectually limited... And Lex doesn't say a word...
I don't think Stalin was as "dumb" as many historians try to make him seem since his comeuppance was as a street thug being the muscle doing the dirty work but he clearly was smart enough to Maneuver himself to the top playing his cards right.
At the same time dude was not the brightest crayon in the box by any means. His stupidity in believing Hitler wouldn't back stab him after he seen Hitler do it repeatedly is astonishing and it Cosy tens of millions of Russians thier lives not preparing for that invasion on any level all while Stalin locked himself away for days refusing to speak letting shit fall apart and leaving his generals terrified to make a solid plan or move worrying if it doesn't work it's thier head getting chopped off at any small failures.
He was a street thug and not from the group university educated communists that instigated the revolution
To what degree is Lex using “too what degree” too much?
Fake, why don't you invite someone who will speak by facts and not reciting some novels?
Power!!!!
Communists also simply pointed to the atrocities of the monarchists and such and said, "Look, if the King can do these things in the name of governance, so can we, and if you object, you are merely a hypocrite."
He gives great analysis of the Soviet conception of agriculture and their total lack of understanding
Lex can you please interview professor Andrey Fursov?
Mao was a homosexual also
A true democrat
Stalin's political dominance.
DEI - mediocrity is awarded
The thing that puzzles me about Stalin is how could he be so merciful towards the Germans. They waged a war of total annihilation, killed 27 million Soviets, raped their women for 4 years, destroyed all cities they could, killed so many in concentration camp...and yet, they were not reciprocated. If Stalin really was that cruel, I would expect such cruelty to manifest upon his greatest enemies.
Democrats imitating and love of Stalin is apparent and appalling
