@@projectpitchfork860 He did, though. He had his best doctors executed or sent off to Siberia, therefore no one was good enough to treat him properly. He "tested" his guards once by pretending to fall over. When the guards came in to check up on him, he had them executed, that is why when he actually died, no one dared to enter his room to check up on him. He had thousands exiled to Siberia just to complete a quota. I live in a nation that was once occupied by the Soviet Union. His opression of our people is still talked about to this day.
It's probably a good thing that the guards didn't check on him, because if they did and he survived then Stalin would've killed them anyway for not checking sooner.
It gets even funnier. When they finally found him, he still had vital signs and they tried to fetch a doctor. However because Stalin had purged the doctors in suspicion of trying to poison him, there were very few who were immediately on hand to treat him. By the time they did find a doctor, it was too late due to the various delays.
"Even Stalin and Hitler had some shockingly wholesome moments... Like when Hitler shot himself in the head. And when Stalin died because he locked up all the doctors."
My favorite part of this whole ordeal is how after the coup and everything, Stalin’s daughter is moved to Vienna for her protection. She would then later defect to the United States and move to Wisconsin and change her name. Which means there is a chance that the actual daughter of Joseph Stalin was a GB Packers fan
It gets better. Stalin's granddaughter now lives in Portland, Oregon and owns a local business. Everyone in her neighborhood knows who she is and she's a big fan of the 2nd Amendment, so I hear.
You realise the bit about her moving to Vienna is an artistic licence by the film makers, right? It didn't happen. What actually happened was she remained in Moscow after Stalin's death and in 1963 met a visiting member of the Indian Communist Party.. After his death in 1966 she was granted permission to leave the Soviet Union, her first trip abroad, to cast his ashes into the Ganges. Once in India, she applied to the Soviet Ambassador for permission to remain in India, which was denied. She then approached the US Embassy in New Delhi and applied for political asylum, which was granted, and she arrived in New York in April 1967. So no Vienna, no exile and historically inaccurate, like most of the events in "The Death of Stalin". It's a satire, not a documentary.
The movie takes a lot of historic liberties, has frequent usage of incorrect terms/labels, and has some outright errors..but my god does it capture something special about the real historical actors and the extreme oddities of the post-WW2 USSR. “Veep, but with the real life Politburo” is an idea almost too good to be real, let alone in such a great work. All of its problems aside it is one of my favorites.
It's historically accurate in the same way something like Blackadder is. At a very high level the basic premise is correct, but everything below that is fictional.
Nick, I would just like to say that your review of The Death of Stalin was perhaps your best review ever! I'm actually doing my Masters' Thesis on the post-Stalin succession crisis BECAUSE of your video!
@@Grindleytroy Well, in a way, I suppose God laughs at everyone, some people more than others, or perhaps he cried more when he saw Stalin's life conclude with a record like he had on his conscience.
When I found out Stalin died of “natural causes” after all he did, I was disappointed. But after finding out the circumstances of his death, the idea that he was laying semi conscious in a puddle of his own piss (and most likely poo aswell) for a whole day gives me some satisfaction. The idea that during that time maybe some of the people he killed may have come back to him in visions and haunted him. And the idea that he may have even attempted to call for help but couldn’t alert the guards (who may have even heard Stalin’s distress but chose not to intervene, not just out of fear but also out of spite) gives me satisfaction too I know that Stalin’s reign is much more complicated that just black and white. That a country as huge, rough and underdeveloped as Russia was must have been a nightmare to keep in check and that tough decisions needed to be made for the the good of the country but even the most die hard Stalin fan must admit that he went too far…
Radio 4 seems to be circling the drain at the moment. No 15 minute drama serials; drama in general cut back to conspiracy serials and grim literary adaptations; as you say, hardly any decent documentaries; and The Archers is turning into Hollyoaks - FFS, Paul, get over it and make an astonishing connection between Peggy's cat and the strangles outbreak, _that's_ what we tune in for.
The coolest would have been if they actually hired Russian, Georgian and Ukrainian actors and had them speak Russian, but if they were going to cast American and British actors, I massively prefer what the movie did, having them all speak in various accents of regular English (just like the real individuals spoke regular Russian with various accents) rather than having them all speak English with a stupid and fake Russian accent.
Stalin pulled a prank on previous guards, they came in to check on him when they thought he needed assistance. He thanked them for their service and then sent them away to die. So these guards not interrupting him is only logical. Nothing could save him anyway since all the doctors in moscow were gone
The Ghost of Stalin and his genocides haunts the entire population of all 13 Soviet states and eastern Europe as a whole.Stalin killed 30 million people, that’s 10 million more than Hitler. Although Stalin did have a much longer time in power to accomplish such a feat. Hitler had killed 20 million in just 13 years in power. A higher genocide rate per year than both Mao and Stalin Americans don’t think about Stalin or Russia. It’s an irrelevant far away country in the eyes of most. Russia’s entire economy is smaller than New York City by itself so Russia is quite insignificant to the Americans, unlike China
@@tylerclayton6081 and what about the deaths caused by homelessness and hunger everyday? Well leave that, what about the genocide in Gaza? Why is Biden standing by Netanyahu? What about the killings of PKI members in Indonesia? What about the prolonged presence of the West in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The Death of Stalin was hilarious, and the movie of the same name was pretty good too
Well played :,)
I would watch it over and over again. And the movie.
Shazam.
😂😂😂
Based.
"Should we investigate?"
"Should you shut the fuck up before you get us both killed?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It happened to the previous guards
Anyway in the movie the guards were gonna be killed later
A great example of what happens when you rule with absolute fear.
Dying soaked in piss... I know another russian autocrat that I would like to wish the same.
Dying of natural causes in your 70s isn’t the worst fate…
You die an old man?
Yeah, he didn't.
@@projectpitchfork860 He did, though. He had his best doctors executed or sent off to Siberia, therefore no one was good enough to treat him properly.

Nah he'd kill them for entering at all
There is a story that the previous guard once did this and found out that Stalin faking out those noises, and immediately execute them..
@@andraakmalmaulidani1793reminds me of the Thai queen that drowned and the guards didn't want to touch her and were executed eitherway

Poetic Justice
Quite ironic that Stalin became a victim of his own reign of terror.
"Even Stalin and Hitler had some shockingly wholesome moments... Like when Hitler shot himself in the head. And when Stalin died because he locked up all the doctors."
Poetic but not harsh enough. At least with Benito they beat his ass to an unrecognizable pulp then hung him. Stalin got off easy.
Whats also hilarious all of his doctors he either had killed or arrested. The rest who were alive didn't dare touch him
@@not2hot99 If Stalin had survived it probably would've destroyed his strongman image.
Now he just died an old man
Stalin died, and nothing of value was lost.
What about his mustache? Say what you want about the guy, but always separate the facial hair from the guy attached to it.
Least of all, Beria.
but he pissed himself the rug was probably worth something
@@nbewarwe you're right that tache is a treasure
@@andrewklang809 I’m sure even stalin was gonna kill Beria if he lived long enough

Until the shinigami finally wrote his name down.

Make sure to censor the naughty words we don’t want this video about a guy dying on the floor while pissing himself to be too mature

We gotta keep this anecdote about Stalin kid-friendly.
Sadly this is what TH-cam requires
The TH-cam bot has to be appeased or your video gets sent to Siberia

Stalin like many dictators started to believe his own hype and forgot who put him in power
Well serves Stalin right
The Death of Stalin is such a good movie. I love the dark humor it has 😂😂
For further context, I read that anyone who entered his bedroom always got arrested and executed.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy lol
Rest in Pieces
Wasn't he interned next to Lennon?
@roy1299
I'm sure Stalin doesn't give a damn ....
if he lies in peace or in pieces anymore...

The reality of ruling by fear and Surrounded by yes man ain't life as Dictator grand.
Damn it, Stalin was about to tell us what happened to Polnikov.
Fun fact there was no polnikov
Shortly after in the film those guards are shot
Karma always comes back in different ways.
Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler. The worst of the worst.
After Stalin died, demons came lining up at the gates of heaven seeking asylum.
Good one
The walls you built will eventually trap you lol
I was excited to see a full video, but I guess I'll take a short.

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen
This is how historical comedies should look like
If no one was there to see it how do you know it was a violent collapse? Oh, that was thrown in for dramatic purposes.
You're doing shorts now?
Great movie
Pretty sure they knew what was happening and wanted him to die so they stfu
I have a feeling it got taken off of Netflix
(I am incomprehensibly angry)
He didn't "lie in a puddle of his own urine for an entire day". Do some fact checking please.
He is einstien look alike than stalin.
A heros death
