Stalin and United Nations - COLD WAR DOCUMENTARY

- In our previous documentary on the history of the Cold War period, we discussed the formation of the UN and the Western outlook on this organization. But as was the case with almost everything else, two sides of the conflict did not have an accord on this matter and the Soviet leader Stalin had his own designs...

Although UN is often criticized and is far from perfect in many matters, it was effective in keeping the dialogue going through the Cold War.

I feel it did and is doing a fair job. The real test will be and I hope this day never comes, when one or more of the security council nations pull out. Will there be recovery or will it go the way of the League when nations began to pull out or rather were asked to leave?
Hey, that annoying twat here again :P
Just your usual reminder to cite your sources, e.g. where did you pull that quote from Litvinov?
Also, be careful of using Stalin, or any leader of a nation really but it is a quite common occurrence for Stalin to be referred as such, as a synecdoche for the actions of their governments.
Good episode otherwise! :)
@@lukezuzga6460 Agree.
The UN is a great thing on paper, but it needs reform.
It's not fair that the US, Russia, China, France and the UK have the power to veto any decision while all the other countries have no such power.
@@lukezuzga6460 UN is doing better than its predecessor did back in the 1920s however the UN is filled with Bureaucratic corruption and red tape it's almost impossible to get anything done especially in preventing wars and human trafficking.
How ironic that the Soviet Union's plans for a strong security council and a week general assembly helped the US so much after decolonization turned the General Assembly into a Soviet rubber stamp.
Jack bharucha what do u mean
RonJohn63 put a thought a lot of African regimes where proper up by the USA like the Congo for wxample
@The Yangem like Angola,Mozambique,Congo northern,south Yemen,Benin,Tanzania,madagascar,Zimbabwe,Algeria,Libya,India,Vietnam,laos, kampuchea,north Korea,
With a large share of the remainder also being neutral Soviet side did had an edge in the third world and it was the largest arms exporter to third world...
@@hadirahman3036 We All Know That Those countries We're Heavily Backed And Supported By The Soviet Union & Warsaw Pact Countries It's No Secret!!!!!
Stalin in the video at the end looks so done lol
"Yes yes thank you I'm old and tired of this stop clapping yeah thanks sit down."
"Churchill & Roosevelt to Stalin"
Hey Joe we want to talk peace & security, please send some
Molatav cocktail.
The UN is not without its faults, but without it we'd have a very little chance of avoiding the WWIII during the Cuban Crisis.
It also played a very important role during the Yugoslavian conflict.
un role in yugoslav civil war was manifestation of what un has become. there are countless instances where the international law was heavily violated. un role in yugoslavia was counter productive to say at least...
@@zloktopod yeah they broke up titos Yugoslavia!
@@dannyib94 Good!!!!!
@@sebastianguevara3615 no bad! why good?! You have something against Yugoslavia?! Or do you take sick joy in seeing a country break up what's wrong with you?! Numbers of people dead wtf bro?!
6:11 - there is a mistake on the map... Crimea peninsula was a part of Russian SFSR, untill 1954.
Then Khrushchev transferred that...
Not really needed to be accurate on this.
@@thethirdjegs it did
@@hadirahman3036 it has geopolitic significant yet it was transfer to Ukraine . How odd was that ?
This reminds me of the slave states vs. free states in a way
Every week I wait for your next videos. Keep them coming every week and don't be late, please.
😁👍🏻
Could you start putting your sources in the description?
@Peanut Pete Yes, i can't take this seriously if there are no sources provided..
There is no propaganda this is how the Soviet Union was. If you know nothing about history then don't talk.
Everyone's version of history is the one they want to hear....cant blame ya
@Brazillian Rhapsody You sound like a 12 year old who know nothing about your own country. Stop being butt hurt that you come from a shit hole and let the adults who actually know history talk. Fucking pathetic kid
@Brazillian Rhapsody Rather than throwing a tantrum, would you mind stating the points you disagree with ?
If that cup has beer in it, and it's only a prop, put some dish soap in the glass before pouring to keep a camera-ready head of foam.
It is tea :)
Thanks for these videos. I am grateful for every upload and hope one day not to be broke as hell so I could support your projects! Until then I encourage anybody of the means to do so.
Thank you. Means a lot!
Had some idea of Soviet influence on the creation of the UN. But not to this extent. My compliments to all of those who made this video a reality.
How didnt i know about this channel of urs Size Halal olsun Ilkin, Nolan ve Trugut hemeshe demishimki coh gozel ish gorursuz zehmet olmasa eyni curde davam edin
Given the actual results of nations intervening on internal affairs of others under "orders" of the UN, good thing that point was left out of the foundation charter of the UN.
Like all organization the most influencial members call the shot.
@@giadinhhang5988 Well he with power decides where it flows, i mean at the end of the day Power does make the tie breaker.
Moscow Nights
thanks so much for this series of videos....Ive been waiting for years for something like this
LOL I guarantee the USSR “relented” on allowing China in the 4 on December 8, 1941 when they realized a treaty with Japan didn’t matter anymore😂😂
Well... this is a really good video. Thanks for the information.
thanks for watching
The people demands the sources!
Yep, but news programming never provides it . . . and that's from major national corporate direction. Hold the BIG services to the Rule of Truth and the smaller ones will fall into line. America (and, I bet, other nations) takes its role models from the top always . . . never from the bottom.
look it up, search and read. I already knew all of this, he won't be posting 300 sources for lazy asses
@@cccp9661 yeah but u can know it in wiki...
Much love to china from the u.s🇺🇲❤️🇹🇼
Great vid
Thank you for watching
"Or in restraining the instigators of the second world war; Germany, Italy, and Japan."
*Finland and Poland give Russia a hard look*
Russia: "What?"
Hfar yea cuz the soviets won ww2 and Germany was definitely more at fault than the soviet union
@@Eazycree "more at fault than the soviet union"
That, my friend, depends entirely on who you ask.
@The Yangem "the Soviet Union was only interested in extending buffer zones and making sure it's neighbors were either neutral or friendly. "
Ha! Yeah, sure. I'm certain the USSR was just "making certain its neighbors were friendly" in the same way the Romans were just "protecting themselves" when they conquered their neighbors too.
@The Yangem that can easily be said of Germany as well...
Finland just quietly became the only country in the world to pay war compensations in full and didn't apply for Marshall aid in fear of soviets. Even some Finnish history books credit war compensations for developing national industry. Talk about Finlandization...
The Four Policemen of the Nuclear Apocalypse....
I like this content.
Will there be any videos on the Stalin notes about Berlin?
What map is that at 4:10 ? it doesn't make sense, it includes switzerland and austria in the western bloc but turkey is missing?
i think its countries who joined the UN at the beginning
2:05 Citation please
Good video, remain unbiased!
We will
@Brazillian Rhapsody why biased?
hi r u working on the siamese burmese war yet?
@@NitroDubzzz kings and generals
great channel!
Thank you
Are you Kamenev's great grandson ?
Happy Elbe Day!
can we see episodes on African revolutions
SUBTITLES IN PORTUGUESE PLEASE!
nice video and format
try not to read a telepromter too much
That change of the camera angle to the side feels awkward and adds nothing to the video.
Youre just jealous of his beard.
It's a camera angle. This isn't a professionally shot movie, so why do you complain?
I will not drink the corn syrup
The UN is a great forum but still is true Might makes Right
UKRAINE IS PRONOUNCED WITHOUT ARTICLES
That's the modern country of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic was always referred to as "The Ukraine" in English, and it was only after the country's independence that this became a faux-pas.
6:10 - an incorrect map. Ukrainian SSR did not include Crimean Peninsula at this time.
Moscow Nights in the end!

انا اتكلام في كل لغت امم المتحدة 我说全六语联合国 I speak all six un languages je parles six langues des nations unies Я говорю на все шести языков ООН организация обеденный наци yo hablo todos seis idiomas de las naciones unidas
Thanks to the Soviets, the United Nations became the Eunited Nations we all know and love. (Sarcasm)
I really love the show, but the background music really makes my ears bleed...
Germany
Stalin and Chirchill got in an argument. Chilchill pushed for Canada and Australia to be voting members in UN. Stalin's rely would be to have Ukraine and Bealrus to be voting members to represent Soviet interests like Canada and Australia would do British. This made Soviet votes = British ones. So your message is a little misleading.
UN

China vs China: 1.4 billion vs 24 million 😜
@@NitroDubzzz ha-ha.. depending on perspective
@@NitroDubzzz perhaps u should visit the two places before making such pronouncement.
One (not USSR) chiNa got 6/4 event and enjoyed slaughter. Have a new king now.
The other (Taiwan?) cHiNa lost the dictatorship by the kamikaze pilot president. Candidates of president want to get permitted by some wicked sea god now.
Both seem fcked.
@@NitroDubzzz I mean, Chang's state was formed with explicit help from the soviets who provided him with weapons and financing, Mao Tse Tung's was most of the time independent from their influence and even warred with them at times so...
@@NitroDubzzz The PLA, they were the ones who finally drove the japanese out of china... or well, strictly speaking, it was technically the soviets, but whathever.
And you say stabbed in the back and "rough", but it was Chang Kai Sek who began the civil war and destoryed the United Front, left his own party in ruins, trashed Sun Yan-Tse's legacy and ordered the Shanghai Massacre, that he lost is nothing but the result of his own paranoid actions.
More animations less sitting in a chair!
Only the Narrator makes this video uninterested.
Great work. But in my opinion you have to sound more dramatical or engaged. You sound a little too... passiv. Not sure if thats the righte words, but there you go.
"The instigators of the Second World War, Italy, Germany and Japan"
"Finland in -39" .... "Eastern-Poland in -39".... "Baltic States in -39"....
Honestly just replace Stalin with Putin and you have modern day
The Soviet Union counteracted imperialism throughout the whole cold war, by supporting national liberations and by challenging US hegemony in the world. For that we should all be thankful for the role the Soviet Union has played in history.
Oh please, the Soviet Union destroyed Europe. If you were from an Eastern Bloc country, you wouldn't be thanking them. I hate them.
But wait the Soviets tried to invade Finland after it was liberated from Russia during WW1. Isn't that imperialism? What about Poland too? They weren't trying to liberate the Finns and Polish by invading and killing them.
I think you're looking at this too narrowly. Both the USSR *and* the USA were empires, the US still is, yet both toted themselves as antiimperialists. Funny, that.
The ussr was worse than the usa but don't be fool folks, the usa are not faring that well in terms of moral integrity either. The anti colonialism thingy is total bollocks, they weren't (aren't should i say) bothered in the slightest to destabilize independent country etc... the usa are just the lesser of the two evil.
Puglosipher yeah just like he liberated the Czechs, Hungarians, poles, kulaks, Finnish, Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians, Romanians and Bulgarians. Alright tankie
Still blows my mind that the Soviet Union existed. After many long hours of conversations with my Ukrainian friend I can't help but wonder every single time how in the actual fuck did a people allow such a thing to happen?
@@joek600 , do you think the Tsar deserved to go?
@@hidof9598 Yes, the Tsarist regime was going nowhere and Nicholas II had already baited out the people with “reform” only to come crashing down and return the status quo. Didn’t think he deserved to be gunned down with his family though
Maybe because USSR achieved great successes in increasing standard of living of its population and rapid industrialization. Maybe because contrary to nations such as US which were and are controlled by 1% of wealthiest capitalists, it genuinely represented interests of working class. Compared to shithole which was Tsarist and chauvinistic Russia inhabited by poor peasants under yoke of aristocrats and proletariat under yoke of capital it was paradise.
Why do you say that? As a English Caribbean native, I truly admired and respected the Mighty USSR and sad they are no longer around. The world is dull and boring without them, and is run by a one country dictatorship. Hope they reform in the future.
Smart moves made by Stalin
These pacts did shape a lot
Every leader had a different face at different levels
It would be wrong to say that FDR or Churchill were heroes
They were not
Churchill was an imperialist
And Stalin, you know
FDR was sussy as hell with his policies, but I have a soft side for him
There is a lot of Soviet point of view (and more videos) than Western point view. This is kind of bias approach since we would like to see how you will present the Western views.
We should have not appeased the Soviets in any way. Doing so is in part why the UN is as ineffective as it is today.
Seamus McFlanery I’m sure it’s easy to say it now, decades later, when all is said done. It’s easy to sit in a chair and blithely say “No appeasement!” when you don’t have to take a rifle or drop atomic weapons and kill millions.
@@Cailus3542 Woah, where did all that angst come from? The Soviets could have been denied and isolated without bloodshed. They were in no position to fight at the end of the war as they had taken on the bulk of the fighting against the Axis. Poland should have been neutral and given the chance for self determination. Same goes for the rest of the nations that the Soviets just flat out impressed into their political system and the West should have supported those nations instead of bending over and letting the Soviets have their way. It would have prevented 40+ years of international instability and strife.
@@Gonboo all simulations showed the USSR could beat NATO in a european war from 1945 till the late 70s, even possibly in the 80s
Sounds good to me, that way, you would've both nuked each other out a long time ago, sure humanity might've gone extinct, but if nothing else the rest of the world wouldnt have to deal with both of you that way.
@@pizzapicante27 The soviets didn't have nukes in 1945 so they wouldn't have happened.
*Having an atomic bomb does not win the United States who never defeated Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. The USSR won the Second World War defeating Nazi-fascist imperialism and the Empire of Japan, that is the reality that bourgeois historians do not want to rebel that alter reality.*
*I can summarize the cold war in three words: Love, Hate and Propaganda.*
*Love of capitalism and everything it represents.*
*I hate communism and everything it represents.*
*Propaganda (made by the lackeys of US imperialism and the satellite countries of US imperialism such as the United Kingdom and France, among other countries that seek to denigrate communism).*
Hmmm i guess the lend lease, western europe and africa fronts were just another case of us propaganda
@@AlexVanChezlaw No use debating, this person is a totally indoctrinated (brainwashed) commie.
If the United States would have allowed Russia to join the NATO.. Russia would have rather being a adhering and a strong member. Since they werent allowed and some former Soviet republics did.. America has made another big blunder
Happy Elbe Day!
