Stalin forced his political opponents to willfully concede their power and publicly prostrate themselves before stalin at the seventeenth party Congress in 1932... and even so, he still had like 80% of the congresses delegates murdered. Then, he had his most loyal followers, (the ones who carried out the purge) executed as traitors and terrorists. Reading about what it was like in that era is straight up the most horrifying shit I've ever read.

One reason "The Death of Stalin" is such a delight is because almost all the cast members are elderly or middle-aged actors -- they are old pros having the time of their lives with the material. Not only does every look, every line turn to gold at their touch, but I get the feeling they were having so much fun, their pure joy comes through as well! And could you imagine how good "The Death of Stalin" would be as a stage production, with these same actors playing their roles night after night, playing with their parts, changing their pace, delivery, emphasis, playing off one another's tiny changes?
@kenoliver89132 ай бұрын
It was, of course, an award winning stage production originally. In fact if there is one criticism of the film it would be that it LOOKS "stagey". But who cares? Yeah, it looks as though all involved in the film had a good time (none more so than Jason Isaacs), as live stage productions tend to do for their cast for the reasons you said. There's reasons why many famous film actors go back to the stage long after they need the work.

And with a very good reason. Beria was notorious also for carrying out torture in his own home, and then killing the victims or having them killed in his basement. Shortly after the collapse of the USSR, in the early '90s, remains of some seven women and two children were found in the basement of his house, all buried naked (no traces of clothing, or buttons, or zips whatsoever). Beria would often stalk the streets of Moscow in his office car, out to spot young women or children who he found attractive, or had his men do the same for him so he could save the time and effort of acquiring his next victims.

I read the book "20 letters to a friend" by Svetlana Alliluyeva (Stalin's daughter) some months before the film came out. I haven't seen anything that indicates that the writers based the script on her book, but they sure did read it and took a lot of notes. Her book backs up most of what happens in the movie. She also speaks fondly of her father as a parent, that came as quite a surprise to me. The book also gives an inside look at Beria, whom she hated intensely. Not only because he was pure evil but also because in the last ten years or so of Stalin's life he manipulated Stalin for his own agenda. There have been some years since then but I remember being amazed about how accurate the film actually was, and still being a great comedy.

@@FilipCordas Nikita was no saint, but relative to the level of terror that the Party imparted under Stalin and in the '20's, pressure was greatly reduced. We have incompetence, death, war, and danger throughout the rest of the USSR's history - but there aren't waves of terror where millions of people died in a given year on account of internal purges and cleansing. The GULAG remains open, but it never regains the maw of slave labor it trapped (is that the right word?). With Stalin no longer claiming the worker were more effective than they would have been had they been free and Beria dead, the system starts to look more "normal." Could "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" have been published in *Но́вый Ми́р* of all places under Stalin? Hell no. Now did they crack down after the reforms went too far? Sure and sure Stalin's dead body made a great straw man onto which Niki tried to paint all the crimes of the past, but that doesn't mean that Stalin wasn't responsible for a great deal of them.

What was happening during the purges is that all the party members saw an opportunity to get rid of people they didn't like or had a political rivalry.

Because we were doing a summer-for-winter shoot, all the extras had to wear heavy clothing...and we sweated like pigs. During the 'Stalin lying in State' scene, we all had cool packs under our clothes to stop us from overheating under the lights. I even had one under my cloth cap. We entered that hall, shuffled past the coffin, then left by a rear door (grabbed a quick drink of water) and joined the queue again...then back into the hall for another round of the same. Two extras actually fainted from the heat! Aye...it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! LOL

The communist party is quite small in Russia, but they make a huge amount of noise. They kicked off massively over the film. The film was actually allowed by the government's film board, but so many people got butt hurt about the film's existence that they caved in at the last moment and pulled the film. Stalin's legacy is something of a tricky issue for the Russian government. There are still a great many people in Russia who grew up under Stalinism and who think that Stalin was the greatest man on Earth. The government doesn't want to alienate these people by outright saying that Stalin was a dick. Khrushchev did that and it earned him a fair amount of ire. So instead, the government just leaves the whole topic alone, bringing it up when it suits them. Allowing this film to be shown simply wasn't worth the hassle they were going to get from the hardcore Stalin fans in Russia, so it was easier to ban it. As I mentioned before, the government actually initially allowed this film to be shown. It was only after complaints from certain members of the public that they banned it.

There was another historical inaccuracy you missed. At the end of the movie, Khrushchev sent Svetlana away to Vienna. In real life, Svetlana never left the Soviet Union until her defection to the United States in 1967, which was a serious propaganda blow to the Soviets, but returned to the Soviet Union in the 1980s during Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika.

Beria is referred to in an almost throw-away line in the James Bond film "The Living Daylights" to describe the "death to spies" operation Bond is investigating, and as a history student at the time I was enormously impressed that the writers didn't dumb it down to "Stalinist operation," not concerned that 99.9 percent of the audience would have no idea what a "Beria Operation" might mean.

My grandparents all lived under Stalin. To my paternal grandfather, who was eighteen years old when he died, Stalin was a god. He was living in Ukraine when he heard the news about the leader's death. His friend came to his house and told him: "Stalin is gone." To this, my grandfather said: "How can our fatherland survive now?" His friend simply replied with a quote from Stalin: "Life has become better, comrade. Life has become happier."

I do admit. I like the movies portrayal of Berias death more than the graphic novels. In the GN, he dies rather dignified with a last inner monologue leading to the end of the comic which I took to possibly mean this is is a unreliable narrator situation. In the movie, he seemed to have died more or less like the sniveling coward of a man he truly was in real life. As a certain heroic robot once said. "You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!"

one of the wildest things about the movie is that they toned down how horrible Beria was, specifically when it came to rape and paedophilia. One of the few times Stalin was reportedly terrified is when he found out Beria was at a dacha with Svetlana. Beria's drives around town "browsing" for rape victims from his car actually spawned the urban legend of the Black Volga, which was the car he tended to be driven around in. You can find variations of it all over the former Soviet states.

i'm not sure if black Volga can be linked to Beria specifically. it was pretty much THE car driven by communist party officials in general. this urban legend - which i confirm was a thing, and not just in former Soviet states (if you mean USSR republics), also in satellite states, such as Poland - seems to have been invented at some point in the 1960s, somewhat later than Beria's terror.

They didn't need to show it in order for us to put it together and that's what movies need to go back to doing when it comes to SA. Someone I know interviewed a girl who survived one of his attacks....they ended up not using most of it because of what she described. But he would bring up fake charges on people just so he could abuse them. Having his men troll the streets for his "types" in a blacked out Volga. Men having to watch him do horrid things to their female family members to get them to confess to false charges. Women rounded up from gulag and spat back put like scraps....he'd go as far as to promise them freedom if they survived what he did to them just to send them back or to a worse gulag. Safe to say the gunshot was too merciful.
@Chewberto10 ай бұрын
Honestly, as someone who knew nothing about this period, I legitimately thought they were trying to portray Beria as a "redeemed antagonist" due to his attempts to reform/release prisoners and his consoling of Svetlana. Now knowing what he actually did IRL, it's safe to say they went a little too easy on him in the movie. I suppose you could argue that his infamy preceded him and should've informed my opinion from the get-go, as it would with a portrayal of Hitler or Himmler, but his name isn't especially well known beyond those who are specifically interested in Soviet history, whereas nearly everyone west of Asia knows about Hitler.

Thanks for talking about this, and I don't think people fully understand the details of Stalins regime of terror. My grandfather, his 4 siblings and parents had their properties and land taken away (they were slaztcha- petty nobility) by Stalin's de-kulakization regime and ended up in a gulag in Arkhangelsk, until 1941 when a deal was made with the polish government (which was exiled in London) for a release of prisoners, and luckily my family were in the group they did release. My grandfather was too young to fight. My great grandfather fought with Polish II Corps, in the Battle of Monte Cassino. My great uncle Piotr fought with the Polish 1st Armoured Division, in Normandy, and died in 1944 due friendly fire in the Battle of Falaise. He is buried in a french military cemetery in Graville Langennerie, near Falaise. The women released from the gulags were sent to Polish ran camps in Tanzania which is where my grandfather's sisters met my grandmother to be, before coming to the UK.

Beriya kept a list of his sexual victims. This was so well known that even Stalin advised Svetlana to stay away from him. The American staff at the Embassy were also aware of this since they saw him continuously bring women and teen age girls into his house (they resided near each other). He kept the list in case any of the women would speak. He would imprison or kill them (sometimes at his own hands, later to bury them in his wife’s garden). He had the list destroyed fearing it’d become a liability, but his assistant decided to keep a handwritten copy of it. The Russian government acknowledged the existence of such list in the early 00’s, but the names of the victims are to be made public in 2028.
@revertrevertz54385 жыл бұрын
Another thing, General Zhukhov really hated the man. Beriya imprisoned and tortured some of Zhukhov’s subordinates during WW2. He was trying to topple him, but only one of Zhukhov’s men testified against him. Later accused him of collecting war trophies (something he actually did). When he knew about the plot against Beriya he was the one to arrest him, like in the film, he just wanted Beriya dead. He was one of the members of the tribunal. Seriously you have to be a piece of work if even your communists heroes want you dead.
