They both have merits, neither one is really (objectively) better than the other...it's more of a stylization choice, especially from a marketing perspective. Given that the differences are largely cosmetic, maybe you just want to flaunt the superiority of your preferences, "cUz fUcK MaInsTreAm". In actual reality, you're actually not any better than anyone else, your opinions about documentaries aren't any better, your taste in photography isn't any more sophisticated...you are just an ass-scratching, armpit itching, nose-picking simp, just like the rest of most people. Who the fuck cares (or should care) what you prefer? Maybe you've some imaginary friend you talk to, if not there are plenty of offerings at your local religious institutions, where they will give you a straight IV drip of delusionary nonsense, that will certainly help insulate your seeming sense of self importance.
“Stalin came to Russia with a wooden plough and left it in possession of nuclear weapons.” ~ Winston Churchill "The new leadership of the Soviet Union tried to get into Stalin's boots and drowned in them." ~ David Rockefeller P.S. just keep in mind, those two were in fact Stalin's ideological opponents.
@Scorched Earth this i agree with you is a fine documentary. i think its accurate and comprehensive and balanced. anyone in Russia living today in 2022 AD is certainly a survivor thanks to there Russian ancestors who are a example of the strongest surviving ,pure luck perhaps or managing to stay out of the fray. the Russians are tough people. been to hell and back . so sad the USA and the Russian average folks are not mutual friends . i have read or heard that they like Americans. there not bad people, there leaders have been .
"At the Museum of Art, Khrushchev approached one of the paintings and asked what kind of ass with ears? He was told that it was a mirror" (с) soviet folklore
Super documentary for anyone having interest in history , and how all the personalities featured transformed and changed the world to the state we are in today.
This started as personality profile, and ended more as a standard historical profile. I would like to see more on the personal side later in life, starting in the purger period and exploring more his personal retreat during Barbarosa.
From what I've heard, not much is known about Stalin's personality, for three reasons: he was quite distant and formal with almost everyone, any accounts during his lifetime were meant to flatter, and any accounts after his death were meant to paint him as an inhuman monster. Perhaps his daughter had something to say?
@@alexeyvlasenko6622 One doesn't end up with a bodycount of tens of millions of one's own comrades and ideological followers unless one is something of an inhuman monster. But then again, perhaps that is what "the dictatorship of the proletariat" should be taken to really mean.
Excellent, concise presentation with VG short analysis of WWII. Your commentary confirms my reading of Montefiore's "Court of the Red Tsar", an excellent biography.
@@jamiemcintosh3030 more reasonable than Grover Furr for sure but is still has a sentimental romanticism to it that works against a critical analysis of what could be improved. Celebrating the successes of the USSR is important, but swinging to hard in the opposite direction so as to own Trots and liberals prevents correcting mistakes
Lenins testament should not be taken as fact, it's not confirmed to be an authentic letter and it pretty much makes no sense for Lenin to prefer Trotsky over Stalin. Trotsky wasn't even a bolshevik until much later and before that Lenin would constantly clash with him and even insult him and instruct to ignore him while Stalin was his man whom he had elevated, so for all of a sudden Lenin to choose Trotsky over Stalin makes no sense.
Thanks for the video. I like learning about history. It would be nice if you did some vids on important irish public figures. Greetings from from Ireland 🇮🇪
Stalin was one of the most dangerous despots that ever lived, an intelligent psychopath, a mastermind of strategy and tactics, he culled opposition, everybody was shit scared of him.
What is inaccurate here is that the decisions of the Soviets were synonymous with Stalin's. Soviets did not respond out of fear but out of what was best for socialism. Stalin never went beyond that.
Nikolai Kondratiev was a Soviet Economist in the late 1930s. He predicted the U.S. would emerge from its depression. When his words were proven true, Stalin sentenced him to hard labor. That was later changed to death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave
Да. Плохо рассказывать историю чужой страны, особенно когда не знаешь что такое Коммунизм и коммунисты. Во общем этот рассказ в в школе на среднюю оценку не потянет.
You can't even speak English but want to tell other people what to believe about your favorite dictator. Stalin was a psychopathic mass murderer and communism is a thought experiment that will never work in real life. Marx himself said so. Now go to a real school and learn something.
Chris E uhhh yes they won because of him. Stalin industrialized the country and that industry allowed them to build tanks, guns, aircraft and he improved the lives of people after the Russian empire. Typical uneducated person who doesn’t know history.
Andrew Pillion I didn’t know bringing the ussr from the poor illiterate shithole it was to the fastest growing economy and second largest economy in the world is opposite of good for it.
@@jaydengray4015 voxeu.org/article/stalin-and-soviet-industrialisation#:~:text=The%20brutal%20policy%20of%20collectivisation,the%20'New%20Economic%20Policy'. It was still poor, it was still illiterate. It just had more tanks and factories. As expected, you don't quite know how the Soviet Union operated internally. The *state* may thrive, but the people suffered almost every step of the way. The collapse was inevitable.
Very awesome you've brought up a lot of points that I never considered or knew and I'd been reading about the Russians and Germans war in WWII from 1997-2008
Would have been much better if the soviet union had been defeated and its vile system for there would have been No cold war No nuclear arms race and No spread of the communist nihilist cancer world wide which it did.The allies helped the wrong side and fell out almost straight away after WWII with 'uncle Joe' pointing nukes at each other for 40 years . Now there is Vlad every one is scared off . The world most richest and powerful leader . Vlad is half Tzar half Stalinist despot .
@@robertmanfredthurrigl9424 There is some truth to what you are saying...agreed. we should have defeated them as well. We did take down one dictatorship but left the other.
They should made his grave and mauseloum public lavatory,that piece of shit need no memory " Erase his memory on Earth" thats why east European countries hates communism so much...." Rest peace in Hell with Hitler and all other wicked comrades"
Great documentary it really made it clear Stalin ruthlessness was necessary to bring the culture into the modern age where it could defeat Nazi Germany were otherwise it would not.
Yes, that assertion can be argued, but I'd like to think there were alternatives. The purges, genocide, starvation = 20+ million or at least 10% of the population of Russia 10 million, Ukraine 5 million, Kazakhstan alone pop. 8 million lost 1/2 its population due to purges and starvation.
@@davidweum Well 2.5% is estimated deaths of those purges in total of Stalin's dictatorship. Instead of population decline, Soviet Union grew much over population steadily after the war and even before the war were the killings appeared. Like Molotov said Stalin deported 10 million, 20 million come back... Stalin also doesn't much tolerated to kill people as Stalin never really kills on his own hands rather ordering some men to kill them. Stalin is mostly a chill man in his held positiond but pre-emptive on anything however there were times that he isn't moving first it was proved about Stalin's reaction on WW2. There were also already a grain confiscation decline on Soviet Union in 1930's before they inflicted the man made famine. I'm not in favor of Stalin's actions, but it was necessarily and also including that time was a hard times for Soviets. Also Stalin ruled the oligarchs, it's possible that the oligarch themselves attributed most of Stalin's effectiveness with the Central Committee members.
Although it may sound bad, and I guess I should be grateful he stopped Hitler, it's assuring to know he had a painful and terrible death. WWII was a strange event. We had the rise of terrible and ruthless men, but in the end, they all took each other down.
He lay in his own urine for days and soiled himself as nobody dared entering his bed room or study un anounced so yes he died a slow agonizing death which served him right. Even the doctors were to afraid to touch him and see what was wrong at first for at the time Stalin was intending to purge doctors and the medical community so no surprise they were frozen in fear first . Took three days for the red monster to die.
I’m sure that shoes were still in fashion , but his styles were not keeping up with the times. Being stubborn in business to this point is very counter productive.
Recomiendo la lectura de los libros : Historia y critica de una leyenda negra (Domenico Losurdo), Stalin insólito (Ricardo E. Rodríguez) y Otra mirada sobre Stalin (Ludo Martens)
Fantastic documentary, a fascinating historical figure just like Chairman Mao. I am looking forward to future episodes on other Communist leaders like Kim Il-Sung, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot.
Commies are the scum of the earth and you own nothing unless you are a party boss . Who wants that now? Private ownership was a crime in their eyes . The only commies who adapted to private enterprise and capitalism is china but they still control it people by a less obvious and less visible state terror . I can not see anything positive in disowning people and take their grain away to feed the army instead of the civilian population. Utter Mafia.
@@robertmanfredthurrigl9424 ... finally somebody who sees it not like the rest of these Charles Manson admirers. Stalin is the original Helter Skelter.
YOU ARE A GENIUS...ThAnk youfor the videos SIR....so much information.Thank YOU...please do a video of Robert Mugabe [iji realized the R.G MUGABE is there]
Excellent documentary -- but half of it was about Russian/Soviet history. So much about Stalin was not touched, like his personal interests (music, literature), his wives, his children, etc. He was a complex, interesting person who totally acknowledged that he was evil. However, he could also be charming, humorous and polite, which makes him even more of a creep. -- I think nobody who is knowledgable can ignore Stalin's contribution to bringing down Hitler. Even Winston Churchill, who hated Socialism patiently, acknowledged that the Red Army played a big role in defeating Nazi Germany, and the Red Army would not have been able to do that without someone like Stalin in power. He also brought Russia and the other countries that formed the Soviet Union into the 20th century. I suspect this is one of the reason why Stalin still has fans in Russia. He's no longer around to kill them, so they can admire his accomplishments while turning a blind eye to his atrocities.
I'd bring it down a notch or two. Anyone knowledgeable like you said would know that Communism was built and funded by Wall Street "Capitalist" bankers. Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg to be exact. The later being a founding father of the illegal Federal Reserve banking system in America. The central bank being a vital organism of Communism. The USA recognized the USSR at the height of one of the greatest genocides ever in the Holodomor. The deliberate starvation of the Ukrainian people that you claim Stalin helped bring together. The Russians were responsible for the defeat of Germany but it was because of the Lend Lease Act. The British and USA funding of the Communist war machine. Without that aid Russia would have fell. Stalin was a tool of international finance. When he wasn't useful anymore they got rid of him. Communism won WW2 that is why people look at him favorably. Those same type of people are in charge today and stronger than ever. The US government especially Roosevelt's administration was crawling with Communists like Henry Morgenthau which called for the starving of the Germans after WW2 or Harry Dexter White a Stalin spy not to mention numerous others. The European Union is a Soviet Satellite system. Go ask how sovereign a European Union nation is. Look at Brexit the people voted to leave the Union and still haven't nor will they. So much for Churchill the great leader. Put his own people on the chopping block for Communism. But hey I bet he and his family are very wealthy today for selling there country. Its obvious your a Communist so who does your bidding?
> Communism was built and funded by Wall Street bankers. this is conspiracy theories. > The Russians were responsible for the defeat of Germany but it was because of the Lend Lease Act. it a bonus to soviet efforts.
@@Mentol_ It does make sense though to the crazy conspiracy theorists, who try to explain reality in a weird conspiracy way because their brain is cut off from the real reality.
Wow, this is exceptionally terrible propaganda. Any basic knowledge of the Soviet Union, and most people who lived in it, can tell you how incredibly inaccurate much of this is.
It is interesting that young Joseph wrote poetry and they were assessed as very good and his poetry was even included in the collection by one of the great poets of Georgia. It is also interesting that Joseph sang beautifully and was invited to attend events such as a wedding or engagement. He knew several Caucasian languages and studied Russian, German, French and Latin. He graduated from college with excellent marks and had meritorious diplomas and recommendations to study. But then he was carried away by the books and philosophy of Karl Marx and he had little time to study. Because of this, he was expelled. 4:32 Serfdom in Russia was abolished and there were never any slaves. Any peasant could complain about his landowner (master) and there will be an investigation and trial. For example, the peasants turned directly to their empress about the noblewoman Saltykova. The case was considered and Saltykova was imprisoned for life. And this was when there - was still a law on serfdom.
@@vasujayaprasad6398 I'll tell you something interesting: Stalin never robbed banks. Even if he really wanted to become a robber, this could not be his role - he had problems with his arm and problems with his leg as a person with disabilities. Stalin was sent to a special school from the Holy Orthodox Church and his hobbies were singing (he was often invited to sing at various events for a fee) and writing poetry (in which he also excelled in singing, since the most famous poet of Georgia praised Stalin's poems). Stalin read in several languages and was very fond of reading and the problem of inequality in the lives of very rich citizens with power and enterprises and workers and farmers who worked for rich citizens. Stalin grew up in a poor family, although his mother belonged to a well-known family in Georgia. Education at the church school made the image of Stalin - an ascetic. He was interested in the teachings of Karl Marx but was not interested in how to get rich. He devoted his whole life to the real cause of creating the world's first country of workers and peasants (farmers). It was thanks to his constitution written in 1938 that it became clear that the USSR was created. Stalin ruled the country from 1941 to 1953 and was, according to the memoirs of his associates, poisoned. Stalin proposed a complete replacement of old politicians with young professional politicians. The form of government then is the decision of the meeting of deputies from the workers and peasants and non-party (you can call the parliament).
@@georgeanothonyconroy1505 "greedy spiteful landowners" ie: the state. Are you seriously trying to blame the kulaks for the holodomor. The kulaks didn't set impossible to achieve grain quotas and they didnt export all of the food Ukraine was producing and send it to the cities to prevent a counter revolution Stalin did that.
At 14.45 this video first mentions the Russian Revolution and 45 seconds later Lenin seizes power in a coup. No mention of what the Revolution did, how the Soviets were set up, the months before the Soviets asked for the leadership of Lenin and the Bolsheviks. This quick summary gives the listener no idea of what the critical year of Soviet power meant to Russia, history, and the rest of the world. There was no coup by the Bolsheviks unless he means the force used to take the Winter Palace where the Provisional govt was hiding from everybody. This is not useful history - to that point in the vid anyway.
@@exlibrisscientia6741 When the revolution happened the Bolsheviks were a minor party and had nothing to do with starting the revolution. Even a 1 minute mention of the original Soviets and their overthrow of the whole govt. is the crux of 1917. The vid makes it sound like Lenin and Stalin were the revolution. Pure nonsense. If someone wants to know the basics, 1 minute about the revolution and the Soviets would set it up. Lenin and Stalin aren't there and have virtually no impact for the 4 months as the govt. crumbles under Soviet leadership. See, doesn't take 6 hours and now you know.
Excellent documentary, thank you much. Also a big thank you for pointing out the contribution of women during the war. Greatly appreciated, it’s often overlooked.
@@valemorena You can just skip it but believe me, that won't stop a couple of other thousand of viewers to consider your comment to be irrelevant as well.
A claim is made that without the industrialisation of Russia it would never have been able to withstand attack from Germany in WW2. This is is surely only half true, no mention is made of the hundreds of millions of gold bullion, pounds Sterling, U.S. Dollars and war materiel that the allies shipped to the soviets. Edit - very brief mention of ally-supplied hardware made later in the doco.
except the allies SOLD those supplies, it helped but wasn't all that much or all that helpful. the ussr paid the bill for years after. I don't have any papers to prove that, but if you find anything to prove your opinion, I'll search too (that's fair i think)
If Lenin and his commie cronies had'nt gotten power then Hitler and Nazi party never would've gotten power, because one of the Nazis strongest selling points was that they said they would protect the German people from the evil of communism
@@dragoncrown2029 The Nazis were put in power by the capitalist rulers of Germany with the task to abolish all opposition to their capitalist rule and to safeguard them from communism in case it came to power to take away their properties.
Good documentary, I enjoyed it very much. I believe Stalin was a straight up evil man who should've been held accountable for signing a non aggression pact with Germany and also for occupying half of Poland and invading Finland. His lust for power and control is a stain on his horrific lack of humanity.
@@shahrulamar5358 still doesn't excuse anything he has done there are many people who grew up with abusive parents who had to endure but didn't lose their minds and murder as many people as up to 8 million
@Sunflower On concrete That’s why the world is doomed. Too much evil exists. Good thing, nothing lasts forever. Hitler is dead so is Stalin. Let’s hope we are smart enough to recognize the evil-ones
He might have had a hand of steel, but here in the west "America" our leaders has been using the "Pen" against it's own people throughout the years, just as evil.
Pravda wrote in 1989 that Stalin had valuable and substantive information that the German invasion was planned but Stalin ignored it. You should have done a better job explaining the basis for your statement that Stalin lacked such concrete information.
he was a murder. terrible man who ruined the life of millions. among them there was my grandfather Pavlo. he spent more then ten years in stalin' s camps and returned home very ill to die. my grandpa was arrested without any reason for nothing.
@josefina bananos I know werll enough, that there were few cases when soviet authorities broke a proper measures of lawful process about accused and every single time that they didn't follow proper procedures it was dictated by the sheer monstrosity of what the person in question actually did, be it a mass rape and killing of children by a child, acts of killing outsiders and cannibalism done by the whole village, etc.
The soldier who defeated fascism returned from the war. He returned to the destroyed, scorched earth. All his property fit in a duffel bag. From clothes - only what is on it, from food - what is in it. His son doesn’t even have shoes. And after twelve years, we were the first to conquer space ... The memory of the feat of our people in the war is still, thank God, still alive. But few today speak of the second feat of our people, which he performed immediately after the first. Veterans and yesterday's rear workers not only rebuilt a huge country from scratch after such a terrible war, but also overtook many countries that did not fight. How could this happen? What a miracle? Many who returned from the war simply had nowhere to return to - neither at home, nor relatives, nor work, nothing. Many, moreover, were taken to the front right after school and did not have any specialty or any skills. And the war, to put it mildly, did not increase physical health. For good reason, so many veterans died in the sixties and seventies, before they reached old age. And despite this, people not only did not give up, but completed another titanic feat, immediately from the front taking up the restoration of the country. Veterans at the factories replaced teenagers who worked there throughout the war, began to rebuild the destroyed cities, bridges, roads, power lines, factories, factories, schools and hospitals. Everyone went to where he could bring the greatest benefit to the country. Without any holidays and many days of celebration The people lived in poverty. But somehow new houses gradually got up, factories and factories started working, the children went to the newly built schools, free medicine started working in the normal mode, food appeared in stores, hunger disappeared. In 1947, food cards were canceled! Europe could not believe. And a year before, in 1946, when the cards were still valid, Soviet athletes at the European Championships in Oslo in 1946 won six gold medals. And at the Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952, the USSR took second place! Yesterday’s war veterans, with the consequences of serious injuries, including former prisoners of fascist concentration camps, defeated their healthy rivals. By the mid-fifties, there were no longer any streets destroyed by the war, left on the sidelines of roads of broken military equipment, uncontrollably staggering street children. The country recovered simply in fantastic terms, and what efforts veterans had to make for this - only they know. And already in 1957 we went around the United States in a space race, and in 1961 we launched a man into space. Remember this when you see a veteran. He not only defeated fascism, he rebuilt our country from scratch. Wounded, half-starved, having lost his home and relatives, he built it for you and me.
@@thehat2243 According to Soviet documents, during the entire Stalin period the following people died: Sentenced to death - 800 thousand. Died from hunger 1933 - 2.5 million. Died after deportations - 390 thousand. Died in labor camps - 1.6 million. Died from hunger 1946 - 1 million. If you add up these numbers, you get a maximum estimate of 6.3 million dead. But these people died for different reasons. Among these reasons, only those sentenced to death are directly related to the soviet government.
Very good documentary . I've seen many documentaries and talk shows talking about Stalin in Russia in russian language and there Is much debate and discussion about him but only few consider him and Hero . Most consider him a tyran he Indeed was as described in this doc. Also there Is a part of people Who takes the history as It was so for them He was like Napoleon for some french historians . He did "good" for the country by those standards in that era by doing evil to the population.
He dragged the Soviet Union kicking and screaming into the 20th century. Even taking into accounting the Nazi invasion, for the average citizen in the mid-1950s life was immeasurably better than it had been just thirty years previously.
In the USSR of 200.000.000 people, during these hard days, at no time there were more than 2.5 million in prisons (gulags). How many prisoners are now in the US? Food for thought
If you watch Oliver Stone's documentary series you will hear Stalin praised and virtually worshipped as a great hero. Stone's communist ideology hasn't stopped him from using the mechanisms of capitalism to accumulate vast wealth. Stone even accuses Henry Wallace of being an ideological traitor when the indisputable facts of Stalin's atrocities caused him to change his stance and openly criticize him. Michael Moore is another communist who enriched himself by making a film specifically bashing capitalism. There is an astounding moral disconnect with these guys.
Thank you for this little info and insight . I was not aware that Oliver stone was a commie . I'm not surprised about Micheal Moore for he looks every inch the degenerate spineless languid fat party sap trap who if he was indeed living in a commie regime he be the first the party would purge!
Stone is something we call a saloon (theoretical) leftist, he only dreams about communism (and Russia too), tho he never experienced it first hand and at the same time he hypocritically makes use of all advantages of democracy and highly developed free market economy of his homeland. As lots of ppl like him, he absolutely has no clue what communism/bolshevism is truly about but keeps dreaming. He's become something the bolsheviks since Lenin's times call a "useful idiot"...
I agree with half of that statement, except Moore would be the first to our someone like Stalin. Like he does with almost all the idiots in the world. Don’t hate the people who speak up for those who hide behind the “white righteous” and the people who say they have the Americans best interests in mind when the point blank only have their own agendas at play, on top of power hungry pr*cks, just because you can’t handle who Moore speaks against.
I have read books on the women in WWII from Russia. There is a wonderful book about as lady that flew over Russia the book is called over fields of Fire, she was the most decorated woman in WWII from Russia Thanks for the videos
It would seem that dictators like Mao & Stalin had the same flaw as most human beings; greed. Socialism will never work while human nature is one of betterment and profit. There are those that prosper with wealth and those that fritter it away.
They weren't dictators though. Stalin for instance had only one vote in the politburo and many of his decisions were overturned Also, lets not forget that capitalists from inside and outside were and are trying to infiltrate socialist countries. That is why the CPSU was overtaken by Liberals after the death of Stalin
I would love to see a video on the other dictators who revered Stalin as an example and role model. How many deaths did Stalin inspire at the hands of Sadam Hussein, Pol Pot, etc.

Хотя это правда, что СССР при Сталине преследовал свои цели, практически не заботясь о человеческой жизни, это было результатом многовековой жестокости и явной злой тактики, использованной царями. То, что сделала Окрана, чтобы предотвратить даже базовые демократические реформы, заставит их вечно гореть в аду. Сталин и большевики после 1917 года, трагедия гражданской войны (которую поддерживал капиталистический Запад) и тот факт, что офицерский класс Красной Армии был усеян кровожадными аристократами, потерявшими земельные титулы, а также сторонниками нацизма, вот что Произошло бы, если бы вы взяли человека, которого несколько раз в год насиловали и избивали без всякой причины, а иногда на его глазах убивали его семью и друзей, когда они всю жизнь говорили о попытках остановить это.

I'll acknowledge the Soviet sacrifice in World War 2, but I'll never respect Stalin and his cronies, nor should anyone from central Europe who had their nation turned into a Soviet province or satillite state.
The estimated Soviet death toll from Stalin's regime is around 6-20 million people (excluding Soviet deaths in WWII). Out of that, the number of Soviet people delibrately killed by Stalin is 6-9 million. Did you add the 20-26 million Soviet deaths in WWII (which cannot all be attributed to Stalin) to Stalin's actual victim count? The 6-20 million figures are already so shockingly high that there is no need to alter his victim count to 40 million people. Needless to say, Stalin was a tyrannical, power-hungry, horrible person.
The internal contradiction is Internal. Within the Party, Bolshevics are Minority while Menshevics are the Majority. During the Lenin time, most Menshevics are in favor of the Bolshevics. Thence, the voting power of Menshevics were in favor of Bolshevics under Lenin. When Lenin died, still Menshivics voting power in favor of the Bolshevics under the flagship of Stalin.
Excellent, as always. With that said, who are the 293 total idiots who have down voted this fine report. Not one of them could have started making this.

Equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. Men are not created equal, and forcing equality via the State just centralizes power among the greedy and corrupt. Just outcomes dont require periodic purges because rewards are fairly distributed.

They both have merits, neither one is really (objectively) better than the other...it's more of a stylization choice, especially from a marketing perspective.

From what I've heard, not much is known about Stalin's personality, for three reasons: he was quite distant and formal with almost everyone, any accounts during his lifetime were meant to flatter, and any accounts after his death were meant to paint him as an inhuman monster.

Lenins testament should not be taken as fact, it's not confirmed to be an authentic letter and it pretty much makes no sense for Lenin to prefer Trotsky over Stalin. Trotsky wasn't even a bolshevik until much later and before that Lenin would constantly clash with him and even insult him and instruct to ignore him while Stalin was his man whom he had elevated, so for all of a sudden Lenin to choose Trotsky over Stalin makes no sense.

Stalin was one of the most dangerous despots that ever lived, an intelligent psychopath, a mastermind of strategy and tactics, he culled opposition, everybody was shit scared of him.
What is inaccurate here is that the decisions of the Soviets were synonymous with Stalin's. Soviets did not respond out of fear but out of what was best for socialism. Stalin never went beyond that.
Nikolai Kondratiev was a Soviet Economist in the late 1930s. He predicted the U.S. would emerge from its depression. When his words were proven true, Stalin sentenced him to hard labor. That was later changed to death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave
He was a horrible person
He was also responsible for killing Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who was helping the Jews to escape
Great job and well balanced. Congratulations!

Great documentary it really made it clear Stalin ruthlessness was necessary to bring the culture into the modern age where it could defeat Nazi Germany were otherwise it would not.
Yes, that assertion can be argued, but I'd like to think there were alternatives. The purges, genocide, starvation = 20+ million or at least 10% of the population of Russia 10 million, Ukraine 5 million, Kazakhstan alone pop. 8 million lost 1/2 its population due to purges and starvation.
@@davidweum Well 2.5% is estimated deaths of those purges in total of Stalin's dictatorship. Instead of population decline, Soviet Union grew much over population steadily after the war and even before the war were the killings appeared. Like Molotov said Stalin deported 10 million, 20 million come back... Stalin also doesn't much tolerated to kill people as Stalin never really kills on his own hands rather ordering some men to kill them. Stalin is mostly a chill man in his held positiond but pre-emptive on anything however there were times that he isn't moving first it was proved about Stalin's reaction on WW2. There were also already a grain confiscation decline on Soviet Union in 1930's before they inflicted the man made famine. I'm not in favor of Stalin's actions, but it was necessarily and also including that time was a hard times for Soviets. Also Stalin ruled the oligarchs, it's possible that the oligarch themselves attributed most of Stalin's effectiveness with the Central Committee members.

Excellent documentary -- but half of it was about Russian/Soviet history. So much about Stalin was not touched, like his personal interests (music, literature), his wives, his children, etc. He was a complex, interesting person who totally acknowledged that he was evil. However, he could also be charming, humorous and polite, which makes him even more of a creep. -- I think nobody who is knowledgable can ignore Stalin's contribution to bringing down Hitler. Even Winston Churchill, who hated Socialism patiently, acknowledged that the Red Army played a big role in defeating Nazi Germany, and the Red Army would not have been able to do that without someone like Stalin in power. He also brought Russia and the other countries that formed the Soviet Union into the 20th century. I suspect this is one of the reason why Stalin still has fans in Russia. He's no longer around to kill them, so they can admire his accomplishments while turning a blind eye to his atrocities.
I'd bring it down a notch or two. Anyone knowledgeable like you said would know that Communism was built and funded by Wall Street "Capitalist" bankers. Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg to be exact. The later being a founding father of the illegal Federal Reserve banking system in America. The central bank being a vital organism of Communism. The USA recognized the USSR at the height of one of the greatest genocides ever in the Holodomor. The deliberate starvation of the Ukrainian people that you claim Stalin helped bring together. The Russians were responsible for the defeat of Germany but it was because of the Lend Lease Act. The British and USA funding of the Communist war machine. Without that aid Russia would have fell. Stalin was a tool of international finance. When he wasn't useful anymore they got rid of him. Communism won WW2 that is why people look at him favorably. Those same type of people are in charge today and stronger than ever. The US government especially Roosevelt's administration was crawling with Communists like Henry Morgenthau which called for the starving of the Germans after WW2 or Harry Dexter White a Stalin spy not to mention numerous others. The European Union is a Soviet Satellite system. Go ask how sovereign a European Union nation is. Look at Brexit the people voted to leave the Union and still haven't nor will they. So much for Churchill the great leader. Put his own people on the chopping block for Communism. But hey I bet he and his family are very wealthy today for selling there country. Its obvious your a Communist so who does your bidding?

I do recommend to people to read "Stalin: A History and Critique of A Black Legend" by Domenico Losurdo. Published by Iskra Books.
It is interesting that young Joseph wrote poetry and they were assessed as very good and his poetry was even included in the collection by one of the great poets of Georgia. It is also interesting that Joseph sang beautifully and was invited to attend events such as a wedding or engagement. He knew several Caucasian languages and studied Russian, German, French and Latin.
He graduated from college with excellent marks and had meritorious diplomas and recommendations to study. But then he was carried away by the books and philosophy of Karl Marx and he had little time to study. Because of this, he was expelled.
4:32 Serfdom in Russia was abolished and there were never any slaves. Any peasant could complain about his landowner (master) and there will be an investigation and trial. For example, the peasants turned directly to their empress about the noblewoman Saltykova. The case was considered and Saltykova was imprisoned for life. And this was when there - was still a law on serfdom.
Yes whole country was enslaved by bank robber Stalin
@@vasujayaprasad6398 I'll tell you something interesting: Stalin never robbed banks. Even if he really wanted to become a robber, this could not be his role - he had problems with his arm and problems with his leg as a person with disabilities. Stalin was sent to a special school from the Holy Orthodox Church and his hobbies were singing (he was often invited to sing at various events for a fee) and writing poetry (in which he also excelled in singing, since the most famous poet of Georgia praised Stalin's poems). Stalin read in several languages and was very fond of reading and the problem of inequality in the lives of very rich citizens with power and enterprises and workers and farmers who worked for rich citizens. Stalin grew up in a poor family, although his mother belonged to a well-known family in Georgia. Education at the church school made the image of Stalin - an ascetic. He was interested in the teachings of Karl Marx but was not interested in how to get rich. He devoted his whole life to the real cause of creating the world's first country of workers and peasants (farmers). It was thanks to his constitution written in 1938 that it became clear that the USSR was created. Stalin ruled the country from 1941 to 1953 and was, according to the memoirs of his associates, poisoned. Stalin proposed a complete replacement of old politicians with young professional politicians. The form of government then is the decision of the meeting of deputies from the workers and peasants and non-party (you can call the parliament).

he was a murder. terrible man who ruined the life of millions. among them there was my grandfather Pavlo. he spent more then ten years in stalin' s camps and returned home very ill to die. my grandpa was arrested without any reason for nothing.
yeah, yeah, of course "for nothing". He was either rapist, thief or murderer but it's convenient to portray him as innocent.
@josefina bananos I know werll enough, that there were few cases when soviet authorities broke a proper measures of lawful process about accused and every single time that they didn't follow proper procedures it was dictated by the sheer monstrosity of what the person in question actually did, be it a mass rape and killing of children by a child, acts of killing outsiders and cannibalism done by the whole village, etc.
The soldier who defeated fascism returned from the war. He returned to the destroyed, scorched earth. All his property fit in a duffel bag. From clothes - only what is on it, from food - what is in it. His son doesn’t even have shoes. And after twelve years, we were the first to conquer space ...
The memory of the feat of our people in the war is still, thank God, still alive. But few today speak of the second feat of our people, which he performed immediately after the first. Veterans and yesterday's rear workers not only rebuilt a huge country from scratch after such a terrible war, but also overtook many countries that did not fight. How could this happen? What a miracle?
Many who returned from the war simply had nowhere to return to - neither at home, nor relatives, nor work, nothing. Many, moreover, were taken to the front right after school and did not have any specialty or any skills.
And the war, to put it mildly, did not increase physical health. For good reason, so many veterans died in the sixties and seventies, before they reached old age.
And despite this, people not only did not give up, but completed another titanic feat, immediately from the front taking up the restoration of the country. Veterans at the factories replaced teenagers who worked there throughout the war, began to rebuild the destroyed cities, bridges, roads, power lines, factories, factories, schools and hospitals. Everyone went to where he could bring the greatest benefit to the country. Without any holidays and many days of celebration
The people lived in poverty. But somehow new houses gradually got up, factories and factories started working, the children went to the newly built schools, free medicine started working in the normal mode, food appeared in stores, hunger disappeared.
In 1947, food cards were canceled! Europe could not believe. And a year before, in 1946, when the cards were still valid, Soviet athletes at the European Championships in Oslo in 1946 won six gold medals. And at the Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952, the USSR took second place! Yesterday’s war veterans, with the consequences of serious injuries, including former prisoners of fascist concentration camps, defeated their healthy rivals.
By the mid-fifties, there were no longer any streets destroyed by the war, left on the sidelines of roads of broken military equipment, uncontrollably staggering street children. The country recovered simply in fantastic terms, and what efforts veterans had to make for this - only they know. And already in 1957 we went around the United States in a space race, and in 1961 we launched a man into space.
Remember this when you see a veteran. He not only defeated fascism, he rebuilt our country from scratch. Wounded, half-starved, having lost his home and relatives, he built it for you and me.

The story of the most ruthless,cunning dictator i have ever heard of.
Thirty million poeple slaughterer.
No proof.Only Propaganda of Wests..
@@leontrotskychakraborty9710
The proof is actually almost endless no matter how much you might pretend otherwise
@@thehat2243 According to Soviet documents, during the entire Stalin period the following people died:
Sentenced to death - 800 thousand.
Died from hunger 1933 - 2.5 million.
Died after deportations - 390 thousand.
Died in labor camps - 1.6 million.
Died from hunger 1946 - 1 million.
If you add up these numbers, you get a maximum estimate of 6.3 million dead. But these people died for different reasons. Among these reasons, only those sentenced to death are directly related to the soviet government.
Very good documentary . I've seen many documentaries and talk shows talking about Stalin in Russia in russian language and there Is much debate and discussion about him but only few consider him and Hero . Most consider him a tyran he Indeed was as described in this doc. Also there Is a part of people Who takes the history as It was so for them He was like Napoleon for some french historians . He did "good" for the country by those standards in that era by doing evil to the population.
He dragged the Soviet Union kicking and screaming into the 20th century. Even taking into accounting the Nazi invasion, for the average citizen in the mid-1950s life was immeasurably better than it had been just thirty years previously.
He tried a few times to not be head of the politburo
Music by Kai Engel... Great start
You could do a Mao video. Thank you
In the USSR of 200.000.000 people, during these hard days, at no time there were more than 2.5 million in prisons (gulags). How many prisoners are now in the US? Food for thought
How about the so called Napoleon of the West, Santa Anna!?
Good option!
This is very well done. Thanks for it.
If you watch Oliver Stone's documentary series you will hear Stalin praised and virtually worshipped as a great hero. Stone's communist ideology hasn't stopped him from using the mechanisms of capitalism to accumulate vast wealth. Stone even accuses Henry Wallace of being an ideological traitor when the indisputable facts of Stalin's atrocities caused him to change his stance and openly criticize him. Michael Moore is another communist who enriched himself by making a film specifically bashing capitalism. There is an astounding moral disconnect with these guys.
Thank you for this little info and insight . I was not aware that Oliver stone was a commie . I'm not surprised about Micheal Moore for he looks every inch the degenerate spineless languid fat party sap trap who if he was indeed living in a commie regime he be the first the party would purge!
The Oliver Stone documentary stunned me too! I think he also praised Chavez and Castro. I was in shock.
Stone is something we call a saloon (theoretical) leftist, he only dreams about communism (and Russia too), tho he never experienced it first hand and at the same time he hypocritically makes use of all advantages of democracy and highly developed free market economy of his homeland. As lots of ppl like him, he absolutely has no clue what communism/bolshevism is truly about but keeps dreaming. He's become something the bolsheviks since Lenin's times call a "useful idiot"...
Oliver Stone (Silverstein) is part of the tribe. This should surprise no one.
I agree with half of that statement, except Moore would be the first to our someone like Stalin. Like he does with almost all the idiots in the world. Don’t hate the people who speak up for those who hide behind the “white righteous” and the people who say they have the Americans best interests in mind when the point blank only have their own agendas at play, on top of power hungry pr*cks, just because you can’t handle who Moore speaks against.
I have read books on the women in WWII from Russia. There is a wonderful book about as lady that flew over Russia the book is called over fields of Fire, she was the most decorated woman in WWII from Russia
Thanks for the videos
very good video. More facts and less hatred for Stalin. Seems like balanced viewpoint.
It would seem that dictators like Mao & Stalin had the same flaw as most human beings; greed. Socialism will never work while human nature is one of betterment and profit. There are those that prosper with wealth and those that fritter it away.
Stalin literally fought against nepotism to the point of viewing his own family members not higher than anyone else. Go fuck yourself.
They weren't dictators though. Stalin for instance had only one vote in the politburo and many of his decisions were overturned
Also, lets not forget that capitalists from inside and outside were and are trying to infiltrate socialist countries. That is why the CPSU was overtaken by Liberals after the death of Stalin
@@dimas3829 he also raped women and murdered people. Go love yourself
I would love to see a video on the other dictators who revered Stalin as an example and role model. How many deaths did Stalin inspire at the hands of Sadam Hussein, Pol Pot, etc.
Or did he? Many believe he took a sub to Argentina and lived there until his real death in 1962!
Yes, he shared a flat in Buenos Aires with a funny looking middle aged German "refugee" who called himself "Adolf Hister". Who knew????
They also had their neighbors Jimmy Hoffa and Elvis Presley over for dinner.
How the hell would he escape from the mausoleum
@@pettttson The "Stalin" in the mausoleum is made of wax. The "real Stalin" hid in a musical instrument box and was smuggled out of the USSR by special ops guys and mercenaries and flown out of the country in a secret long-range aircraft piloted by Juan and Eva Peron. The "submarine theory" is dis-information planted by the OSS, the WWII precursor of the CIA. The plan was so outlandish nobody ever thought it could ever be duplicated.....Thats how the phrase: "Dont Cry For Me Argentina" came about----really...
Stalin is an example of what happens when a criminally insane person gains power.

This guy was a real jerk.
Seems to me that he was a bit of a monster.
Less of a monster as US, who in the last 50 years is responsible for 100 millions deaths. Europe is not a nazi hell because of this guy, you should thank him.
Monster is the biggest understatement you could ever make. Anyone who thinks otherwise is blinded by ideological beliefs.
@Le DiceThrower I consider Germany’s loss to be the beginning of the slow death of the west. The world would have been a better place had the US stayed out of Europe and Germany won.
@@sendtodevnull1269 shut up
A very good analysis based on facts
Farts, not facts.
It was the Russian people who suffered thru the Romanovs dictatorship of Stalin and others who have made Russia great
Mary Carson why do you think Russia is a great country, genuine question
Turtle Shell it is great western spy
And from the ashes of the Romanovs there arose a paradise
A paradise?Do you consider a gulag a paradise?Do you consider forced relocation of members of the population a paradise? Starvations, mass executions, labor camps, do you consider those as parts of a paradise? Too bad you missed all of this...I'd like to see your face as youface the firing squad after being accused of crime you did notcommit.
Bruce Marsico well a gulag is a regular prison. It was a paradise compared to the mass poverty and uneducation that people faced in the Russian empire.
Хотя это правда, что СССР при Сталине преследовал свои цели, практически не заботясь о человеческой жизни, это было результатом многовековой жестокости и явной злой тактики, использованной царями. То, что сделала Окрана, чтобы предотвратить даже базовые демократические реформы, заставит их вечно гореть в аду. Сталин и большевики после 1917 года, трагедия гражданской войны (которую поддерживал капиталистический Запад) и тот факт, что офицерский класс Красной Армии был усеян кровожадными аристократами, потерявшими земельные титулы, а также сторонниками нацизма, вот что Произошло бы, если бы вы взяли человека, которого несколько раз в год насиловали и избивали без всякой причины, а иногда на его глазах убивали его семью и друзей, когда они всю жизнь говорили о попытках остановить это. Затем каким-то образом они убили человека, который сделал это с ними, и попытались прожить жизнь, но на работе им приходится работать с членами семьи своих бывших мучителей, которые бросают на них недобрые взгляды.
Khotya eto pravda, chto SSSR pri Staline presledoval svoi tseli, prakticheski ne zabotyas' o chelovecheskoy zhizni, eto bylo rezul'tatom mnogovekovoy zhestokosti i yavnoy zloy taktiki, ispol'zovannoy tsaryami.

I always admired one thing about Stalin.....He always had a nice neat haircut.
stalin is a man of fire and iron and it was a genius political
Joseph Stalin is the go-to-guy to win the zombie war!
I'll acknowledge the Soviet sacrifice in World War 2, but I'll never respect Stalin and his cronies, nor should anyone from central Europe who had their nation turned into a Soviet province or satillite state.
Excellent documentary, but it lacks detail. Kind of a general overview of the Russian revolution.
The German war machine was incredible. Withstanding American, British and Russian troops insane. Soviets moving it's industries is also unfathomable
And the Germans lost thankfully. The Germans did not withstand the combined resources of those allies. Great.
40 million innocent ppl had been kill by this Evil
The estimated Soviet death toll from Stalin's regime is around 6-20 million people (excluding Soviet deaths in WWII). Out of that, the number of Soviet people delibrately killed by Stalin is 6-9 million.
Did you add the 20-26 million Soviet deaths in WWII (which cannot all be attributed to Stalin) to Stalin's actual victim count?
The 6-20 million figures are already so shockingly high that there is no need to alter his victim count to 40 million people. Needless to say, Stalin was a tyrannical, power-hungry, horrible person.

The internal contradiction is Internal. Within the Party, Bolshevics are Minority while Menshevics are the Majority. During the Lenin time, most Menshevics are in favor of the Bolshevics. Thence, the voting power of Menshevics were in favor of Bolshevics under Lenin. When Lenin died, still Menshivics voting power in favor of the Bolshevics under the flagship of Stalin.
Excellent, as always. With that said, who are the 293 total idiots who have down voted this fine report. Not one of them could have started making this.

Equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. Men are not created equal, and forcing equality via the State just centralizes power among the greedy and corrupt. Just outcomes dont require periodic purges because rewards are fairly distributed. Only free markets allow people's natural desire to improve their own outcomes to be channeled to benefit society instead of just themselves.
He must’ve been a great leader I haven’t heard anybody complain about him
