Poor Yalov. What a miserable father he had in Stalin. Losing his mother so young and having a cruel father takes it’s toll. You can see how sad Yakov was in his photos. It is horrid to live without love. Happy he remarried and had a child. Thank you World History. Thank you for your narrator too; he is marvelous.

It's not corny at all. I have SO many questions for God myself. I often wonder how such nice people come from horrible parents (perhaps it's that they don't want others to feel the way they feel) and how sometimes horrible people come from really nice parents.

From G.K. Zhukov's book "Memories and Reflections": On the way back, I asked: - Comrade Stalin, I have long wanted to know about your son Yakov. Is there any information about his fate? He did not answer this question immediately. After walking a good hundred steps, he said in a muffled voice: "Yakov will not get out of captivity. The murderers will shoot him. According to the inquiries, they keep him isolated from other prisoners of war and agitate for treason. After a moment's silence, he added firmly: "No, Yakov would prefer any death to treason." Sitting at the table, I. V. Stalin was silent for a long time, not touching his food. It was felt that he was worried about his son. Then, as if continuing his reflections, he said bitterly: "What a hard war. How many lives she took away from our people. Apparently, we will have few families left who have not lost their loved ones... Only Soviet people, hardened in the struggle, strong in spirit, and educated by the Communist Party, could endure such trials.

Stalin was truly a monstrous human being. It was self admittedly the death of Yakov’s mother which led to “the death in me of all that is warm in feelings towards others” as he himself said. Family meant very little to him and he often treated them as, or more cruelly than even his most bitter enemies.

But everything is a little different. Stalin did not hate Yakov, although he could insult and humiliate him. But 90% of the time he simply did not see his father because of the large amount of work with Stalin. Then Yakov decided to get married, but Stalin was enraged and saddened Yakov tries to commit suicide. Contrary to the theory from this video, Stalin does not say "you can't even get where you need to go", he simply ignores this and ceases to somehow control Yakov's life, but when he moved to Leningrad, by his decree, he gave him a large and spacious apartment and found a good job. Then he insisted that Yakov make a military career, because the leader of the USSR always dreamed that his children would be military. After graduating from the school for gunners, he goes to war (according to one version, Stalin insisted on this, according to another, it was the decision of Yakov himself. But I believe the first one more), there he is captured while trying to escape from the environment, refuses to cooperate in captivity and dies while trying to escape from a concentration Camp.

Yiakov was in the artillery and not in the tank forces. Stalin refused to exchange him for Field Marshall Von Paulus, and although a hard decision, it was correct. However as mentioned in the video, there were several attempts to rescue him. Being that he was kept with four other British prisoners, and the camp captured by the Brits, something smells bad here.

Probably till the day he died his first wife haunted him to his death she probably told him I'm going to make you feel something for one last time he said I should have treated our firstborn son with a bit of kindness and tenderness However what you didn't know was Yakov told his dad don't give Hitler the the satisfaction however after all of that Stalin begin to soften his says towards his son after yakov's first born child died and like his dad he became cold and ruthless he just didn't get far enough ahead to become like him to become the new ruler of russia but even Stalin was afraid of how Yakov became because Yakov was soon spiraling into wanting to become more brutal and ruthless he even told yaakov that he was just like him a Man of steel the proper towards the end Stalin was heartbroken that his son was killed and that he never believed his son committed suicide he believed his son tried to make a grand escape and almost succeeded until he was unjustly killed he was going to make Hitler pay truth be told Stalin have a lovehate for his son because he was going to make his son succeed him when he was gone and unfortunately that never happened so apparently stalin did love his son in his own way

I hope one day I won't have to do this anymore, until then... Stalin hed refused to sign the Geneva conventions so the Red Army was not restricted, they could be brutal without committing any crime, and they were as to the partisans, they didn't even know such rules existed, being their prisoner was much worse trhan being dead. Of course, no rules also meant no protection, so the Germans: Not guilty! As to the POWs, Germany already being on the verge of starvation, Hitler, well, not him him, contacted Stalin and told him to send food for the Soviet prisoners, that Germany didn't have enough. Stalin, well, not him him, responded: "There are no such prisoners, Soviet soldiers are either fighting at the front, or they are dead, goodbye!" And so once again, the little man died because his leader had incurable mental deficiencies, unexpressed emotions and a total inability to establish meaningful relationships and proper communication channels!
