Should have used Shostakovich as the soundtrack

Final credits of this documentary series :
“All those involved with the making of this documentary series were executed on the clairvoyant orders of Stalin.”

One of the last things Stalin said to his mother was “Mama, do you remember our tsar? Well, I'm something like the tsar.” His mother replied, "You'd have done better to become a priest." Stalin then asked, "Why did you dream so much of me becoming a priest?", his mother replied "I saw how little they worked and how well they lived. They were also greatly respected. So I thought that there was no better occupation for a man, and I would have been proud that I was a priest's mother. But I confess, even about that I was wrong."

because Molotov's wife knew the circumstances of the death of Stalin's wife, then years later when she started talking, Stalin had her arrested.

It saddens me how many apologists this guy has

“The greatest serial killer that ever lived.”

Stalin told his elderly mother that he was "like the czar"....her reply was that she wished he had become a priest.

Short 5 ft 4 in man with only one functioning arm had 200 million people under his feet and murdered 40 million. This is a great failure of humanity

I've seen it before and it's worth watching again, the whole series in fact.

Even the mom had a mustache . Stalin dont haunt me.

That is one of the best endings I have EVER see in my life. Bone chilling 🙏

Stalin was the devil's right hand man and now burns eternally in a place called Stalinhell.

fascinating. thank you for upload.

I am certain that dislikes are for his personality, not the video itself. Great documentary.

I was looking for this, thanks!!

Well done Poskrebyzev - a man who maintained some standards throughout.   Of course there were others.

This is like a history lesson meets X-Men and star trek.

Really appreciate these historic videos of the past, whether the subject is good or bad , they are an interesting learning experience.

The absolute best doc on Stalin I’ve ever seen

The mass murderer lived too long and died too easily. He should have suffered so much more so very much more.
