Thereâs a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwaterâs insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Husseinâs side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

This episode is old, but I'd like to add a correction about Aleksei Kapler (the guy Stalin's daughter fell in love with): Robert (or his source?) refers to Kapler as a "young boy", but that's false. He was born in 1903, so he would've actually been 40 years old in 1943, while Svetlana would've only been 17. And I believe they actually met in 1942, so they would've been 39 and 16 respectively.
So that relationship IS something a good responsible parent would take issue with, but it wasn't why Stalin got mad at it and hated Kapler, so it's kind of a broken clock situation (that was also handled terribly).
TL;DR: Poor Svetlana.
Think of how old Stalin was. That's how it was for men in his day and probably didn't really fall out of favor with people who weren't 20 years old by 1940. Like, if you were 20 in the heyday of no child labor laws, you still saw kids as tools who do adult things to live. It's gross, but at this point pretty much expected. Like everything up to 1940 had some inherent sickness on the pdf-front
@@Virjunior01 Stalin himself had at least two relationships with girls way too young for him: a 14-16 y/o when he was in his 30s, and his second wife, who he married soon after she turned 18 when he was 40-41.
Though I should note, I just checked out of curiosity, and according to Wikipedia, around 19th century is when age of consent laws became a common thing, so that's when attitudes about that shifted and some proper legal standards were finally put in place. Most US states raised the age up to 16 or 18 by the 1920s.
So late 19th/early 20th century already had some standards/limits for what was acceptable that were close to ours, but it still hadn't gotten to the point where it is now.
And like, even today people still find excuses for teenagers being groomed, even if they recognize the relationship as "taboo" (like "but it's true love/they're soulmates, so it's okay in this case!" or whatever), so we're still not done fixing this problem. But generally speaking, these days more people understand that it's inherently abusive.
I wrote the same before I saw yours, comrade.
@@MishaFromRussia sure, but just because something was codified into law on x year does not in anyway mean everyone came to a consensus and followed it.
It's like how Ben Shapiro and his ilk will complain that slavery was outlawed after the Civil War, but fail to connect the following century of Jim Crow to it. And since that was the case, why would they cite the Civil Rights movement at all? In the *70s,* Bostonian whites were protesting school integration... and what do you see these types of people saying now with DEI?
In Imperial China, there was a taboo against writing the given names of emperors past or present. The story about Qaddafi's soccer-playing son is the exact opposite of that: you can't say anybody's name BUT his.
Slobodan Milosevic's son Marko is a particularly bizarre one. While his father was in power in Serbia he basically decided to larp as a gangster, and exploited the protection afforded to him by being the dictator's son to run a drugs and contraband empire with a private army of violent goons. He used some of his illegal loot to open a bizarre fascist theme park and became well known for constantly crashing supercars on the streets of Belgrade while off his head on booze and cocaine. He became so infamous with the Serbian public that it contributed to his father's downfall. When his dad lost power, he ran away and claimed asylum in Russia, and is apparently still living there.
THIS IS THE ACID EPISODE
I saw this and my first thought was "Baby Doc" Duvalier.
wrt. saif al-islam: idk if he was playing the long con with his vocal criticism against his father, but in recent years it transpired that he allegedly gave russia blackmail material against a number of western politician through wagner group middlemen. so whatever he claimed to be, he ain't one of the good guys
I think the last one was the biggest whiplash:
"He was conceived when soldiers were occupying his mother's village" oh no
"They had an affair and went on walks together" Oh, thank goodness
"The soldier would go on long rants in German and may have been Hitler" WHAT
"Finding this out, the son was very depressed." Fair.
"He then grew a Hitler moustache and kept many photos of the man around the house" wh
29:20 - Show me the decree
Do you know any examples of evil parents having good kids ? Like dictators, or some serial killers kids happen to grow up to be doctors, and invent cure for something, something in that sense? I would prefer a historical example so i can show it to my friend, thank you.
the Cracked boys! marvelous ð
Korova is the word
Korovka, miniscule.
Fidelito ended up committing suicide ðĒ
I'm sorry; did you say _Hitler-san?_
20:20 - despite the best efforts to portray a person, who passed a law for antisemitism punishable by death, as antisemite, Stalin reacted this way simply because the object of his daughter's desire was a prolific dress chaser equivalent of a Hollywood star.
You know, it's easy to talk about an entertainer shilling for an authoritarian government, but i'm wondering if it might be about the fans in some cases... like with how some authoritarians are (President Xi banning Winnie the Pooh), would it not be possible some music might be banned or punished?
