Unlike Trotsky and Lenin, who were powerful orators and could be heard in an entire auditorium, Stalin had a fairly thin voice. (My source for this is a few lectures by Stephen Kotkin, one of Stalin's biographers....he said w/o amplification nobody beyond the first few rows would be able to hear Stalin!)
Me: I have to learn for physics I don’t understand anything and I have a test tomorrow Also me: Great time to look up historical footage of Soviet Leaders cuz I have nothing to do with my life
It’s crazy. Stalin looks EXACTLY like my grandfather Ioseb Besarionis dzе Jughashvili. They were both born in Georgia around the same time...my great grandpa went missing though
Sir Lancelot Mcbutt You look like a blobfish. You're just a dust under his foot, he's the All Supreme Commander In Chief of WWII and the hero of the Soviet Union. Don't disrespect if you didn't have a rank like him, because he maked his nation a superpower.
I prefer Myself over Stalin, Stalin did alot of good shiet for the USSR and Communism. However, he was too brutal and corrupt. When i look at Lenin he brings a smile to my facesince he seems like such a welcoming and happy man.
Stalin was a genuinely gentle and kind man, but was fiercely anti-- capitalist and dealt with traitors, spies, wreckers, murderers and saboteurs without mercy. Stalin certainly was not corrupt, when he died he has few belongings and very little money to his name. Stalin was honest, brave and incorruptible, this is why the capitalists and anti-Stalinists hate him so much. He could not be bribed. Glory to Stalin!
That's Marshal Kliment Voroshilov. Khrushchev reminisced that Voroshilov was the only person he ever witnessed to raise his voice at Stalin ( as well as hurl a dish onto the dining floor ).
@@karl4893 Lenin's policies caused millions to suffer and starve. One of the examples being the Holodomor. He suppressed all other political movements other than his communist party. He was every bit a tyrant.
@Ablaze Eclipse by hero you mean murdering million of Ukrainians in a famine as well as killing and sending opponents to gulags and signing the molotov ribbentrop pact and splitting Poland with the nazis and then making all of Eastern Europe a soviet puppet after they were defeated
@Ablaze Eclipse that does not excuse the fact that they gave Germany more territory just cause they didn’t get all of Poland does not excuse that they got at least half of it also what about the soviets expanding into the Baltic’s or the their invasion of Finland isn’t that imperialism?
@Ablaze Eclipse oh so your telling that a gulag called cannibal island has a 99% survival rate yeah no also what constitutes as fascists people disagree with the Soviet government the girl who was waiting at a train station which was sent to cannibal island
Balls is it. There is only FOUR seconds of film in existence of the REAL Lenin - and they were all shot by Dziga Vertov. Everything else is an actor playing the role of Lenin. Even Eisenstein himself had to make do with an actor playing the role of Lenin in his great epic "Battleship Potempkin".
@Ezekiel Troslin People love to allude to this "testament" without really having any idea as to what's really in it or its context. Lenin, cognitively declined in his final days after multiple strokes, wrote a complaint about Stalin's rudeness towards Krupskaya (they had an argument over not following the doctor's orders not to let Lenin read any politics or do any work because his blood pressure would likely cause another stroke and kill him, which in fact it did). An argument among comrades over concern for Lenin's health, hardly a major scandal and Krupskaya herself begged Lenin not to send the letter. In the same letter he also praised Stalin's ability and commitment to the cause while criticizing and warning them against Trotsky, who was the real opportunist, never a real Bolshevik and pushing a lot of left-sounding phraseology that in reality amounted to petite-bourgeois social democratic bullshit.
panomies They were MY people, not yours, you are not to judge us what to do in our internal affairs. For example, you see me cursing Hitler a few lines above. But I am blaming the maniac only for horrors he did to my country, USSR&Russia, not actually for anything he did in Europe&Germany, see?
STALIN REFUSED TO TRADE A GERMAN GENERAL FOR HIS SON - WHAT A SHINING EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US! Funny you, "Red Tango" should mention Stalin's son. The Nazis wanted to trade Stalin's son for a German GENERAL - IF Stalin had made that trade it would have said to all the Soviet peoples and working people of the world that he, Stalin, valued blood relation more than any other worker; and that, purely for reasons of being a family member, that young man was worth a bleeping Hitlerite General - someone who did (and would have) helped massacre millions across Europe and the USSR. Stalin surely knew what the Nazis were gonna do to his son ( perhaps no POW ever suffered worse); but he could not, would not, play favorites just because it was his son. In other words, you chose the WORST example possible to try to prove YOUR point - instead, you have conclusively proved the exact opposite point. That Stalin was a person of the highest principles (not just in terms of family members; but in terms of his entire adult life - ALWAYS putting other people, the masses first; ALWAYS being, as he himself said repeatedly, "I am merely Lenin's disciple; I work for the international working class".
It wasnt the fact that Stalin valued the people over blood, It was just that Stalin did not care about his son, He actually proceeded to torture and imprison his son’s wife simply because the germans extracted information out of his son. Stalin had no regard for human life and even turned captured camps into gulags. Stalin achieved nothing besides purging millions of people and leaving the USSR in an extremely vulnerable position, Leading to 22 million casualties.
Netflix will commemorate Joseph Stalin by doing a short series in his name. Stalin will be played by Denzel Washington and Lenin will be played by Kevin Heart.
sasuke uchiha - Hahaaha :DDD You should compare your lovely Russia to dozens of countries before you reach the U.S))) How you dare to compare Russia to the states?))) You are too ambitious mate))) First make sure you have better life quality in Russia than in Estonia and then compare your fucking dirty country to the most developed country in the world))))))))))
@@aigeneratedwauigi2696 the only proof for lenin’s testament is trotskyites. it was typed on a type writer at a period in which lenin was catatonic and brain dead. lenin and stalin are inseparable.
2:13 just see the face of the man looking at Stalin to see if he's happy or not, and when he sees a displeasure and the cold stare of Stalin, his expression changed into a look of fear. He knows what's going to happen.
Are you fucking serious? Do you know anything about them? Millions of people died cause of these guys they murdered millions of their own people and sent them to concentration camps. Ever heard of Stalin's cannibal Island?
@@vistor5376 ‘Stalin was worse than Hitler’ meanwhile Henry Kissinger, a literal war criminal remains free along with countless other of his bourgeois ilk. Why don’t you talk about the criminals who currently rule the world today and remain adamant about your Cold War propaganda? Do you not think that they would be honest about socialist leaders? Stop being naive.
You guys should know that this video is propaganda Stalin was not always with Lenin during pre Soviet Union that role belonged to comrade Trotsky. Who was later removed and finally exiled, in his place propagandas were re-written to make it look like Stalin was the deputy to Lenin during all those years of struggle instead of Trotsky.
Tell me about it.. the propaganda was good back then, like it is good now and people in America just eat up anything they see. It reminds me of what is happening in America people believe anything they see if it is from Fox or CNN..
Please, who are the authors of this reportage ? Was it made in USSR and translated or made in UK or USA ? As I remember, USSR wasn't considered that dangerous before McCarthyism.
Michael Fay, you say: "Read Trotsky?" (Reading Trotsky is like reading the Bible - in his writings you can find just about everything and its polar/moral opposite). Better, read Grover Furr (world-wide expert on the Stalin period of the USSR; one of the few ever to have been given access to both the Soviet Archives, the Hoover Archives and the Trotsky Archives). He establishes beyond any shadow of a doubt that Trotsky was a life-long enemy of Lenin (fighting him tooth-and-nail for 15 years!), Stalin & Socialism; and, went so corrupt that he became a leading COLLABORATOR OF THE GERMAN NAZIS (& Japanese too). Grover Furr: "Trotsky's 'Anagrams': Vol 1 & Vol 2".
@@martalover17 Lenin didn't like Trotsky and called a prostitute numerous times as an insult The authenticity of Lenin's testament is questionable as he was very ill when it was written but even if it's real, Lenin wasn't a king who could appoint successors
Stalin came out of defeats and the rise of a Bureaucracy which arose from defeats of revolutions in Hungary Germany the British General strike and China. The Bureaucracy fed on the defeats and took political control with Stalin leading. Whilst the gains of the Revolution remained intact,planning,Nationalisation of the land and factories. Even Stalin was not powerfull enough. Restoring Capitalism was not an option since the Bureacracy and Stalin would be superflouse. The Soviet Union's existence depended on spreading Revolution to ideally Germany Britain or the US. As Trotsky wrote in his book in 1935 "Revolution Betrayed" when Stalin announced that things were better,and we have Socialism when the Soviet Union was not up to even the most backward Capitalist State "Spain". Stalin even betrayed the German workers by portraying the Social Democrats as fascists no different from Nazi's. Possibly! But not the supporters! Hitler went up the middle and could not believe there was no General strike! WW2 could have been averted. Of course Stalin won the war. But the Soviet Union is no more and Stalinism Socialism in one country and no other,followed by peacefull co-existence with Capital led to the inevitable end! Read Trotsky!
You love Stalin...the same man who willingly let the Nazis execute his son when he could have saved him, and had just about every one of his relatives tossed in jail. He even threatened his daughter when she asked what happened to everyone. He died alone with no friends and no family. That says alot.
He gave his life in working for the liberation of all of humanity from the savagery of imperialism and the inequalities of capitalism. Glory to Stalin!
