And she'll finally abdicate for a long retirement in 2053

Nice correction. I was just about to comment on this.

@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory no she won't. She made a deal with satan.

Truly a man of great tastes and appetite.

"Spit it out Georgy, staging a coup here".

And then Zhukov planted the Soviet flag on Hitler's bunker and knocked a bear out with one punch. The man's a hero.

@@michaellynes3540 it was Goebbels'

Why has the army been replaced by the NKVD all over Moscow? I'm smiling but I'm very fucking furious.

Retired?

Yeah and also the Soviet songs from HOI4

Also Farewell of Slavyanka

You aint seen nothing, comrade. You were too late!😅

WHAT is the difference between communism and fascism?? NOTHING.

@@benmmbk765 The rise to power

Molotov-Ribbentrop pact?

@@benmmbk765 just the method by which they control EVERYTHING. So the only difference was in who was allowed to become rich

I think one thing we can all agree on though! Thank god he came in when he did since Stalin would’ve prolly started a nuclear war within a few years

Is actually Stalin hindered Russia's growth Who knows what Russia could have been without him at the helm but probably better.

Beach Boy Although there is the rumor Tito had him killed

Hi Simon, email is thecoldwarchannel@gmail.com or facebook @thecoldwartv

The Cold War im currently scanning the documents i own and i will get back to you soon!

Nikita: SIKE M8, GETTING BURNT HERE YA.

khrushchev sucked

@@shawnv123 They all sucked.

@@shawnv123 1. They are politicians a certain level of suckage is to be expected. 2. He didn't suck as much as the Beria. 3. Considering that we mostly elect our politicians on their amount of suckage I'd argue that krushev winning was quite the western thing to happen considering the soviet unions track record.

@@petebondurant58 just khrushchev brezhnev and gorbachev the only good one was stalin

I understood that reference 😅

no we don't?

With a couple of American accents into the mix.

...and one of them was Steve Buscemi.

Loved the movie!

Lucky them 😂

if they had bombed a desalinization plant...would it have been a destalinized desalinized incident?

@@SantomPh well what ever it is Stalin is going to be pretty salty about that.

Nooooooo should have life imprisoned that

@@SantomPh you're HILARIOUS!!

Of course he liked it because the usual alternative was death. I would prefer a nice civilian life as well to getting a bullet in the head and getting branded as a traitor.

He became the director of a Power Plant in Kazakhstan.

Like getting out of the Mafia......

Back in Stalins era that would be irrelevant - Stalin would still be coming back for you at some point. But under Kruchev it was more lenient

I was in the tourism business in the 1980s. A Russian customer of mine died from a stroke after a night of drinking and sex with two escort girls in a hotel in Bangkok. (For whose interested, the girls weren't Thai but East-German).

Josip Broz Tito is laughing

Well ill be d'amnésie

Beria died of a headache. Nothing more.

@@BELCAN57 yes of course having a bullet lodged in one's head must cause a headache, however brief.

Black Powder User the only thing I hate about that movie is that irl Beria was arrested and had a proper trial, not directly shot. It is a shame this wasn't shown as he was imprisoned in a ww2 bunker guarded by... 4 Soviet tanks with their guns pointed at the door. (No Im not joking)

@@Loup-mx7yt Holy fucking shit, did they think he was going to go Super Saiyan or something?

Black Powder User that made me laugh my ass off that was my favorite part of the movie

Is that why the Korean War ended then? Was North Korea seen as a burden of sorts too? I know Mao was determined to at least preserve it as a buffer between him and the U.S.-backed Republic of Korea (He originally wanted to take ALL of the peninsula after intervening, but Peng's forces were smashed back mostly north of the 38th Parallel by General Matthew Ridgway, ending those hopes).

@@thunderbird1921 it was definitely a burden to Mao after the first year. The bulk of Communist forces in Korea were Chinese and they were dying by the thousands from battle and disease. Being tied down in Korea meant he couldn't finish off the Nationalists in Taiwan. Stalin dying and Ike becoming US president helped put the finishing touches on the ceasefire. Stalin liked the idea of UN forces being stalemated since he had almost no skin in the game. Allegedly, Ike threatened China with getting the Nationalists into the war and using nukes. Prior to that, it was a lot of diplomatic foot-dragging from the communists hoping for a better tactical situation.

The patriotism angle did somewhat work though, since the Americans focused so heavily on de-Prussianising west Germany

Right, there were 4 students from East Germany in my college group. Because I was fluent in German language and their Russian wasn’t perfect for the tough engineering courses, I offered them my help with them helping me to perfect my German. We spent next 5yrs in college helping each other. We went to concerts, movies and even traveled together. In my memory, East Germans never accepted Soviet style of life, they considered Russians, Ukrainians and the rest nationalities of the USSR sub-human ( unter manchen). They mostly sympathized with Führer, even seeing devastating wounds, still remaining- results of the invasion. Back in Germany some of my friends were arrested for the espionage against DDR, but freed a few months later for the lack of proof. There were over 3500 East Germans in Leningrad in the 60s in colleges and Military academies. And they never socialized with locals. They had spies within their community -Stazi and KGB worked hand-in hand.

Mentei...I lived in a former Communist country till I left in'82, and all buildings had a portrait of the dictator. In a country that has elctions, you don't get to hang up portraits of the president.

In "One, Two Three," a 1960 movie comedy set in Cold War Berlin something heavy is thrown against a portrait of Khrushchev, which drops out of the frame to reveal a portrait of Stalin.

That's such a great detail though! Referencing the pure obsession soviets had with portraits.

@@marinazagrai1623 ... now that you mention it, I can't not notice it. lol

"I'll take the tall blonde."

"Goodluck ladies."

@@sturmtruppler6909 damn't. You beat me to that line!

I have imagined this day for the last three decades

"Stalin would be loving this."

Kazakh SSR: The famine of 1932-33 killed something like 2 million people in Kazakhstan with a population of about 7 million at that point, while it killed 3.5 million people in Ukraine which had about 33 million people at that point, and you make a joke about Ukrainians having no food. Are you for real?

Reagan would've loved your comment!

radunMARSHAL but this was made up to them after the war. They went on to be in the forefront of nuclear weapons design and testing. Talk about being privileged!

@@radunMARSHAL I didn't know about Kazakhstan famine,

🤣🤣🤣Good1

Lol close one, you almost didn't get born

you mean your babushka

@@spicyLEGO At that time she was still devushka.

@@arty5876 Ихтамнет.

@@LukeVilent причем здесь Крым и Донбасс?

Bukharin: I second that

@@안호성-p6z Frunze - "He killed me."

Lol

I think, this is much funnier in reverse order.

Darryn...although Lenin was despicable, he warned the others about not allowing Stalin being premier, dictator-in-chief, but never mind, the latter killed all his opposition...

Except Hoover was a cross dresser and liked boys.

@@BELCAN57 Where as Beria liked little girls (including the daughters of influential members of the communist party...).

@@BELCAN57 Relevance ? Also, huh, surprising fact

@@BELCAN57 and beria was a known child rapist

@@nicholasleclerc1583 when the skeletons of several young women were found buried in his rose garden it is relevant. Particularly as some of the charges against Beria were murder, rape and child abuse.

If Stalin was right and there is no God, then he lived well and got away with a lot. On the other hand, if he was wrong...

There's a special place in hell reserved for him.

@@jec1ny The Old Testament God was a jealous, capricious, and murderous control freak, so he might see a kindred spirit in Joe

Well Satan pits him against hitler in hell on a one on one combat. Whoever wins will be spared 1 day of being barbecued. Then the cycle begins again.

bromiso valum is it called Stalingrad?

Nobody likes a snitch.

That’s a Hollywood story. The generals, that would care, were executed by Stalin on Berias fake reports of their treasonous actions before WWII started. My uncle was one of those officers. Beria was executed by a Firing squad under some Lieutenant’s command.

J edgar was smart and dident threat anyone unless he was directly aginst national interests and the FBI, other then that he let the people in charge fuck around Beria however was a mass rapist and a sycho who would kill anyone and anything for fun in the name of stalin After stalin died, only the NKVD was there to protect him and even then many NKVD guys may wanted him gone since he did internal purges as well

Hoover was many things (including being closeted gay man) but he was not a mass child rapist and depraved murderer. Beria was more a Himmler kind a guy if not worse

Everyone was guilty of mass murder.khruschev alone killed more 51000 plus people,that does not even included died on the gulag and lack of care.

Everyone did then; everyone does now.

x_x

"Us vs Them" is a dangerous rhetoric, but an effective one if not also deadly.

Communist regimes have a lot in common with fascist regimes, so the accusation is not that strange.

migkillerphantom a fascist regime like Italy had nothing in common with the Soviet Union. they literally still kept their king as head of state.

@@migkillerphantom Indeed, they both revolve around authoritarianism and totalitarianism

@@rnrailproductions5049 and that matters how? Window dressing.

And Hearts of iron theme in last part of the clip.

@nikolai bahtin i think you mean that song when Capt. Malashenko gave his speech. It's Polyushka Polye

Reason?

The reason is modern nationalist propaganda. Each post-Soviet republic now promotes how bad it is to be part of the USSR and how good it is that they gained independence.

@King George V Not true at all. Alash Orda was capitalist democracy

@@nurithegolden5755 Mhm, and the Turkestan Autonomy (very short lived) was a Republic that could've unified all of Central Asia. Modern day communist revisionists forget that Turkic people have been around a lot longer than these Russians and we are more than capable of handling ourselves!

@@Nick-vn3kg True

I said this to a Chinese student once (re the millions killed). She said about Mao: 'Oh no, that was Madam Mao!" They still believe the propaganda, even in the 21st Century.

Along with hitler

@@himerpaint and Timur the lame

😂

At about the same time, Sir Edmund Hillary made it to the top.

It was not so clear back then. Stalin had been General Secretary until 1934 only, since then he had been one of the secretaries formally. From 1940 his formal power clearly came from being head of government, not that of the party. History showed that the goverment had become the focus of power, and the whole Stalin team believed so, except Khruschev.

🤣

These contra things get frustrated constantly, don't they?

Congrats, "your guy" commited mass atrocities on his own population for a lunatic dictator. You sound like those people in Georgia rioting for 4 days because "their Stalin" died......

Actually Stalin did not want a WWIII. He clearly believed it isn't good either for him nor the USSR nor for world Communism. For a while he thought WWIII was inevitable but in 1953 he was over that. Just think of it: if he really wanted a war with the West, why would he need a proxy war in Korea?

@Nug U the Communists did destroy what they could, their part of the world suffered the same. See lake Aral or check Norilsk etc.

Benjamin Crookston to make it simple, it is a somewhat very simplified representation of what happened, still is accurate tho in general.

there's a video by history buffs on it

"Hello and welcome History Buffs. My name is Nick Hodges and today we will be having a laugh at 'The Death of Stalin.'"

Central Committee had only 30-60 members during that time. Breznev made it three time larger, Gorbachev - two times larger.

I was 7, when my 1st grade teacher announced Stalin’s death. School was dismissed.; walking home all I could hear were sirens of factories and cars, and see people crying, hugging each other. Like in one horrendous surreal movie. For the whole week people were glued to radios and loud-speakers, nobody worked. And then the prosecution of doctors, who treated Stalin, began. Public lynching, condemnations, agitations were everywhere. Mass hysteria subsided only after Beria’s arrest. Then went Molotov and Koganovich. The jailed doctors were forgotten. Mission was accomplished- Khrushchev won. The doctors were quietly released.

@@stonefireice6058 I grew up in St Louis MO. Obviously you were much closer. David

I remember Khrushchev banging on the podium of the UN stating to the west, "We are going to bury you."

@@j.dragon651 Hey, not only remember that, remember where I was at time. Dude, one of us is getting old! David

I know it's sad

Technically this Whole video is a reference so... meh? Check out that hallway in 8:28. I remember that from the movie too!

Well the KGB wasn't a thing during the Finnish-Soviet war, it was the NKVD, and it depends on there leadership mainly.

@@aroundhere1200 I mean, according to this channel the KGB AND the Stasi (East Germany) operated heavily in Finland. If that level of espionage and activity could be equal in Afghanistan, Operation Storm-333 would have been avoided??

@@scoutgamer9448 point is that Finland was window and gateway to Western Europe. It was to KGB what Denmark was to Reich duiring the war. Also there were substantial economical intrests in Finland for Soviets. Afganistan was a void.

Scout gamer The soviets never wanted to intervene in Afghanistan. Due to the lack of intelligence and the lack of information and understanding in the Asian region among soviet personnel, the intervention was a disaster.

@@mehdihasani2543 The Soviets needed Afghanistan to run a pipeline for USSR crude oil to reach a seaport (Pakistan was already a friendly country).

“Saddle up, cowboy.”

You can get help for being in a cult you know.

Welcome to the joys of the Soviet Union... leave your sanity at the door

Anyone with power after the purges were either directly involved or indirectly involved but directly benefited from them.

Well, it also indirectly did lead to the death of Beria, a good thing as he was a monster.

Its not a Soviet march🤦🏻‍♂️

This piece was written in 1912 and dedicated to volunteers to Balkan war.

@@geodude205 Semantics;more people know it because of its usage by the Soviets

Go back to Georgia, dead boy!

Beria was shot on December 23, 1953.
