On the 3rd of March 1953 in the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia, a group of anarchists bombed a statue of Stalin. They were caught and sentenced to death. However Stalin died on the 5th of March, so their sentence was converted into life imprisonment. In the process of destalinisation all of them were released from the prison.

Fun fact: Johnny Ray Cash (The Man in Black) was one of the first Americans to find out Stalin had died. He enlisted in the USAF in 1950 after graduating, and he served until 54. When Stalin died, Cash intercepted radio messages informing of the event. However, as he recalls later, he wasn't allowed to talk about it until much later.

Beria and Malenkov were right, though. East Germany was a dead weight. Fully dependent on USSR military support and right next to a capitalist country that spoke the same language, able to easily broadcast their radio (TV wasn't that much of a thing, yet) into almost all corners of the GDR. Unlike other countries in the Eastern Block, the GDR government couldn't use patriotism to rally the populace. So yeah, a dead weight.

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.

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.

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.

Why am I just finding this channel now??? Most impressive KZbin history/political video by far...I thought I was a knowledgeable expert. It's been years since I've met someone able to talk COLD WAR w me on my level...my self confidence, in reference to cold war knowledge specifically, just got rattled. And I couldn't be happier...I guess I needed it. SUBSCRIBED. VERY GRATEFUL I stumbled on channel . No thanks to KZbin...I've done hundreds of COLD WAR-related searches, first time I've seen video/channel...or at least first time I'm aware I did. Thank you for video....very impressive content

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.

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?
