Every time someone displeasses Stalin, unfortunate things totaly not linked to him happen. Do you guys not notice what an active killer he was?
You can do it with Lenin. They preserved his brain. His body however is completely destroyed. But his brain is compared to brains of today, and it is found his frontal lobe is far more developed than most... for whatever reason. So hypothetically we can create Lenin 2. If we can perfect gene editing technology. But that would be an evil thing to do.
Interesting to see trolls having the need to write "Stalin evil!" even on clips with his bodyguard not revealing anything horrible. It says alot about the political correctness of today.
Kaganovich (Iron lazar) knew him very well. He said:"There were at least twelve Stalins". He was different man at different times. He had an incomparable memory: on one occasion he entered a reception with fifty people. He easily remembered all their names and faces. He never forgot and seldom forgave. He refused to trade captured Nazi Generals for the life of his eldest son, Yakov. He told the Nazis, "I have no son, Yakov." Years later, he confided to an intimate comrade: "How could i save my own son and not the sons of others?"
First: Number of victims is over-exaggerated. It was at least one million. Second: It wasn't man-made. The fact was that it didn't rain for a long time. I can tell you this as a family member of mine was there. If I am mistaken about the number of deaths, then it isn't the communists responsible, but the land barons and rich which hoarded all the leftover seeds while the cities starved. A family member of mine, a communist, tried to negotiate and take seeds and halven them for everyone equally, but was killed attempting so. Stalin isn't a magician, he can't control rain. All he did was kill his own officers out of paranoia of White Russian correspondents and Trotskyte plotters.
What we know Stalin exported tons of wheat to the US leaving Ukrainians starving to death. Maybe the numbers were exaggerated but I've heard 20 million .
Mohaini Mohamad What my own uncle told me is one million. I have no idea where you got the number from, if it was 20 million, the results would have been catastrophic, too much so for Ukraine to handle, it would collapse. I am also unaware of that fact, since Stalin and a huge number of Soviets stated obviously that they are against capitalism and are enemies of them, specifically Britain and the United States, even employing anti-capitalist propaganda and policies. I seriously doubt that fact. Even if it were true, I doubt Stalin himself signed that order, and if it were to the US. What Ukraine handled was a rain shortage. The number of casualties reached what it reached through land baron's taking of seeds. If you heard about the 20 million part, I think it included Stepan Bandera's kill count, the Fascist kill count and the famine kill count sustained because of frontline food express.
All jokes in comments set aside, Stalin usually ends up being either demonized or sanctified depending on political angle of those who narrate his life. Often times the political angle comes from some or other politicians... which sureounded him. This however was just a bodyguard, and even he has of course a personal opinion of him, but none the less this is a very rare insight into the smaller every day details that help paint a bigger picture.
@@antrim7008 Stalin was so bad cause he lived a modest life and also wore old boots cause he didn't like wasting money on himself or his own comfort before ensuring needs and comfort for the working class people of the soviet union
What pure evil is this? Wearing old boots? Trimming his own moustache with scissors and a safety razor? Picking up people waiting at a bus stop in the rain? Truly, truly sinister... according to the music. Is it just some sound designer getting a bit carried away with his own project or is it going intentional? When & where was this made? The cinematography is all a bit “overly-ambitious film student”-ish too.
Aggrieved Texan Are you being sarcastic or no. If you aren’t, the Kulaks were a class of petit bourgeois, and they typically owned machinery like a mill or what not, and had workers underneath them. When the weather conditions went south (this has happened many times, even in the Russian Empire) they needed resources, and since the Kulaks had extra, we asked for it, but if they didn’t allow it, we would use force like they did to other people. It is recorded that the Kulaks killed off livestock and burned vital areas to agriculture down to damage other people, and they were very out there to do wrong. And with that, it is recorded that Stalin wrote an order to send resources out West to the Ukraine and that region, and the areas affected were from the Middle of the U.S.S.R. out to even Bulgaria and Turkey.
Once Stalin told with his son and the son said he is free to do whatever he wants because he is Stalin too. He got an answer: "You are not Stalin. And I am not Stalin. He is." - pointing to the portrait
I think his point is that Stalin became a figure and literal God in Soviet Russia. He was no longer a person, so his son acting foolish reflected poorly on the Stalin name. He couldn't go out and be a human being anymore.
@@cincyspin178 Stalin was disgusted with the cult of personality being built around him, he actively fought it by writing a series of letters and condemnations, issuing resolutions, banning memorials and honors being attributed to him, etc.
@@evannesbitt7852 He loved having power because he could then grant himself a life of luxury while the population either starved, being relocated or being sent to gulags. I dont think he wrote those letters because of him not liking being treated as a god.

The background music is weird because this documentary film was made during Perestroika time, in an era of betrayal when everything related to Stalin was demonized and vilified, so this music was an "artistic touch" designed to make the worst impression on the viewer.
Mao had some grievances with SU and how he was treated, but he had huge respect for Stalin's person. Never thought much of Khrushchev and opposed him taking down Stalin after his death. The revisionists were on wrong in the end, and they gave the environment for Gorbachev's rise.
There are Russian documentaries about the atrocities of Stalin and the whole world knows what he did. There would be no reason for the Russian government to try and hide what he did. I'm fairly certain Russia has better things to do than worry about a man that died half a century ago. You are ill- informerd,
This was obviously filmed a few months/year before this guy's death but he's still afraid of the NKVD/KGB cause he's talking about how Stalin took the bath, how he got drunk, how he eats near his dacha. I bet he has far more interesting stories to tell, too bad he had no balls to tell them, even so close to his death.
Unbeliveable, how much he loved people. An episode with sharing his car with people waiting for a bus. Can you imagine Biden, Putin or any other president sharing car with others? We are now slaves for them. Stalin - down to Earth person, created happy and prosperous society, won 2nd world war. I wish my country had a ruler like him.

Don't fall for it, Stalin is one of the worst human beings in history and for sure he beats anyone in terms of how other people lives were affected. Nobody has brought to humanity as much misery as this guy. He only cared about power and total control. He had no regard to anyone else, including his sons or wives. He even killed his wife and indirectly his son.
@Marki Faux Anyone in his position likely has seen a lot of things that would harden a person. Plus, look at all of his military awards. Loyalty seems to be his savior
Actually, he talks about Stalin's down to earth nature, you can see he still has a great respect for his former patron... Yes Stalin did a lot of repressions, but without his Strict leadership, WW2 wouldn't be won...
Stalin lied to get the Nazis into Poland then planned for Soviets to sweep through Europe to save it. Did you forget Stalin agreed to attack Poland with Hitler? Stalin was the worst mistake the NWO ever made. The USA had to supply Stalin with steel and production because he had murdered everybody--- farmers, military men, business, etc. There would not have been WW2 if Stalin hadn't been too incompetent to take care of his side of the deal with the NWO.

WW2 was won because Italy did bad so they German had to spread their soldiers thin across Europe. Plus, him winning wasn't a good thing. Stalin killed 23 million, gave power Mao Zedong who killed 60 million people. Then CCP gave power to Pol Pot who killed 6 million people. Adolf on the other hand no matter how media portray him won't have caused such death. He may have seen black people as below but never once wanted to kill them. He had great respect for many Asians culture. And wanted to preserve nature and switch to renewable energy. Even after causing death of 12 million innocent people; he was the best possible person for the world see as victorious. Because everyone else were other idiots whose good will do not undo their stupidity or the fact they were simply more insane.

You can do it with Lenin. They preserved his brain. His body however is completely destroyed. But his brain is compared to brains of today, and it is found his frontal lobe is far more developed than most... for whatever reason.
So hypothetically we can create Lenin 2. If we can perfect gene editing technology. But that would be an evil thing to do.

Kaganovich (Iron lazar) knew him very well. He said:"There were at least twelve Stalins". He was different man at different times. He had an incomparable memory: on one occasion he entered a reception with fifty people. He easily remembered all their names and faces. He never forgot and seldom forgave. He refused to trade captured Nazi Generals for the life of his eldest son, Yakov. He told the Nazis, "I have no son, Yakov."
Years later, he confided to an intimate comrade: "How could i save my own son and not the sons of others?"
yeah like Stalin cared for others and their children or for his children, official and unofficial..he didn t care he had very little empathy..
First: Number of victims is over-exaggerated. It was at least one million.
Second: It wasn't man-made. The fact was that it didn't rain for a long time.
I can tell you this as a family member of mine was there.
If I am mistaken about the number of deaths, then it isn't the communists responsible, but the land barons and rich which hoarded all the leftover seeds while the cities starved. A family member of mine, a communist, tried to negotiate and take seeds and halven them for everyone equally, but was killed attempting so.
Stalin isn't a magician, he can't control rain. All he did was kill his own officers out of paranoia of White Russian correspondents and Trotskyte plotters.
What we know Stalin exported tons of wheat to the US leaving Ukrainians starving to death. Maybe the numbers were exaggerated but I've heard 20 million .
Mohaini Mohamad What my own uncle told me is one million. I have no idea where you got the number from, if it was 20 million, the results would have been catastrophic, too much so for Ukraine to handle, it would collapse.
I am also unaware of that fact, since Stalin and a huge number of Soviets stated obviously that they are against capitalism and are enemies of them, specifically Britain and the United States, even employing anti-capitalist propaganda and policies.
I seriously doubt that fact. Even if it were true, I doubt Stalin himself signed that order, and if it were to the US. What Ukraine handled was a rain shortage. The number of casualties reached what it reached through land baron's taking of seeds.
If you heard about the 20 million part, I think it included Stepan Bandera's kill count, the Fascist kill count and the famine kill count sustained because of frontline food express.

Aggrieved Texan Are you being sarcastic or no. If you aren’t, the Kulaks were a class of petit bourgeois, and they typically owned machinery like a mill or what not, and had workers underneath them. When the weather conditions went south (this has happened many times, even in the Russian Empire) they needed resources, and since the Kulaks had extra, we asked for it, but if they didn’t allow it, we would use force like they did to other people. It is recorded that the Kulaks killed off livestock and burned vital areas to agriculture down to damage other people, and they were very out there to do wrong. And with that, it is recorded that Stalin wrote an order to send resources out West to the Ukraine and that region, and the areas affected were from the Middle of the U.S.S.R. out to even Bulgaria and Turkey.
Bob Gnisir It wasn’t the farm, it was the grain, they had enough to feed their family after we attempted to take the grain.
Bob Gnisir First of all, it’s Socialism, and the farms wouldn’t be taken, grain that you aren’t using is and land that isn’t being used.

I think his point is that Stalin became a figure and literal God in Soviet Russia. He was no longer a person, so his son acting foolish reflected poorly on the Stalin name. He couldn't go out and be a human being anymore.

This was obviously filmed a few months/year before this guy's death but he's still afraid of the NKVD/KGB cause he's talking about how Stalin took the bath, how he got drunk, how he eats near his dacha.

Stalin lied to get the Nazis into Poland then planned for Soviets to sweep through Europe to save it. Did you forget Stalin agreed to attack Poland with Hitler?
