Gotta love when Stalin gave a speech after which the crowd started applauding, but after applauding for awhile nobody wanted to be the first person to stop clapping for fear of being accused of not being loyal to Stalin. So everyone kept applauding for about 3 minutes straight until Stalin got angry and ordered everyone to stop.

*edit: i thought he died directly from his stroke, ive been corrected that he died several days after said stroke, and his policy on keeping people away caused a fatal delay in his treatment rather.* During his paralyzing stroke, he actually rotted away in his room since he'd train all those close to him in location and rank to NEVER open the door to his private bedroom under no circumstances unless directly invited in by himself, lest they face being put to death. So during his stroke, unable to talk, he *spent hours on the floor as his subordinates knocked on his door asking if anything was wrong. This delay in his treatment caused his condition to basically hit rock bottom and he rotted away in his bed over the next few days.* Karma at its absolute finest.

Well I could only say it's a divine punishment,. You have to atone to your sins once before you're allowed to die . My Gramps was the same, he was a very abusive person towards others espicially to his family. He was once a policeman, killed a man, beat his children and cheated to his wife,. Years later, my Gramps was having stroke until he was bed-ridden. He became thin as sticks and bones and he couldn't move anything other than his head and fingers. My second mother told me Gramps is taking his punishment for his cruelty. She says Good people doesn't die with miseries and illness, they just pass away.

Vagus Maximus nobody say such a thing with a serious tone, of course. It’s called satyrique joke. Zhvanetskiy used to quot it, as well as very close saying of Smirnov-Sokolskiy “we live like in a tramway, half is sitting (Russian Argo to be in jail), half is trembling (shaking)”. It doesn’t mean it was a big problem, people used to make jokes to overcome their fears, to laugh on the shame. Like you feel terrified during a minor car accident then you tell your friends “boy, it was nothing, I actually was bored” to look cool. The year Stalin died, there were more than 2.4 mln prisoners in GULAG. About 18 mln people passed through GULAG from 1930 to 1953. I do agree that in fiction book there’s a lot of exaggerated info about that period, but....

I'm glad you covered the deaths of his two wives - they always struck me as pivotal moments in the shaping of Stalin. Had his first wife lived and Stalin remained a little happier, would things have turned out differently for Russia? Would Germany have suffered less if Hitler had been accepted by his art school? It's impossible to answer but sometimes it seems like huge events could hang on such tiny details.

@@marthab-c5226 I'm pretty sure Fascism is the belief that no individual is more important than the State. If you look at it like that, than yeah, Stalin was a Facsist. He was just not like Hitler. He didn't believe that Russia was superior to all other nations. He was a different kind of Facsist. Total Side Note: I think Stalin took inspiration from Maximilein Robespierre, the head of the Reign of Terror, of the French Revolution. They both ruled through FEAR. And they both suppressed their people so much, that it came back to bite them in the ass.

The term crony capitalism was created by people now, while marxists have explained for a century in a half that financial capitalism is inevitable and will, and is, creating problems to humanity.

My great-grandfather endured the hardships of the Blockade of Leningrad. In 1942, he was almost starved to death along with a lot of the people there. He was lucky to be taken out in September of 1943, months before Leningrad was liberated. When he was driven out, a bomb was thrown at the truck he was hiding in, knocking him unconscious. The driver of the truck thought he was dead. When his friend went to bury him, he heard that he was still breathing, and told everyone that my great-grandfather was still alive. He was transported to the other side of the Lagoda Lake, near the Volga, where he first met my great-grandmother. My great-grandfather and his friend lived with my great-grandmother's family, and on July 23rd, 1944, my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother had a child together, my maternal grandmother. In 1946, after the end of the war, my great-grandfather attempted to find out what happened to his friend. It turned out, that his friend was sent to a gulag after being a POW. My great-grandfather never forgave Joseph Stalin for this atrocity. He was one of the very few people who secretly celebrated Stalin's death.

@retsaM innavoiG You said inefficient so the same points still apply. The Soviets never expressed any desire to land somebody on the moon because It was completely pointless overall. Sending the first human out of the atmosphere is a far larger achievement than landing on a rock. The Soviets also launched the first satellites, space station and overall made far greater achievements than the USA regarding the Space Race. Again, none of that would have been possible without Stalin's industrialization of the nation in the late '20s and '30s.
@mysteriousmuffin6017
@mysteriousmuffin6017 5 жыл бұрын
@retsaM innavoiG First of all, saying Russia was backwards or inefficient either way still makes it remarkable that they were the first country to send a human to space, that's what I meant by 'the same points still apply.' A country that was 50 to 100 years behind the other superpowers at the beginning of the century sending the first object to space in the middle of it is incredible. I see I was a bit brash when comparing the moon landing to Gagarin's flight to space, but the fact that it was not a rich and wealthy country like Britain or the USA that accomplished it is very unexpected. You are right though, scientifically landing on the moon was much harder than simply sending a human out of orbit. As for your point about it being easy to send things to space now, it is completely irrelevant. It would be like saying somebody owning an iPhone in the middle of WW2 was not unusual simply because millions own one now. At the time, no other country had sent a human to space before, and even the leaders of the USA were shocked by it. If the US Government saw the Soviets sending a human to space as irrelevant, Kennedy would not have made the bold claim to send somebody to the moon in the first place. If the Soviets actually cared about reaching the moon, they would have done it shortly after. As for your point about Stalin, every advanced country has had some kind of genocidal and radical event that modernized it. How was Stalin's brutality different to the USA and Britain's use of slavery and harsh factory discipline during the industrial revolution? There was also a lot of bribery and corruption within the USSR, and misuse of power throughout the NKVD and GOSPLAN. To see Stalin individually responsible for 13 million deaths is actually stupid and outlandish. Every national hero has evil behind them, look at George Washington for example. He is praised for winning the war of independence, yet years prior took part in the Genocide of the Native American people.

@@SeanUCF off course, because Hitler ideology can only work with genocide, that is the difference. Was Stalin a madman? Sure, was his ideology genocidal? No. Nazism can only work with genocide. Nazism can only work if people are dead. I not defending Stalin here, but you can say that if people agreed with him, they would not be killed, or if they pleadge mercy. But for Hitler? That dont matter, youl will die regarless if you are a part of a certain race or nation. That is the difference between Nazism and all others ideologies from human history. Is the only one (or at least the most well know) ideology that requires genocide as his part of the plan. This is why Hitler is more vilified than everyone else.

@@sonofcronos7831 Yeah that's a good point, but if the soviet empire had expanded to cover what the Nazi empire had, in terms of ethnic diversity, I think we would have seen similar outcomes. There were several groups that were treated much the same (such as gypsies and jews), but they just hadn't gotten quite to the full on genocide stage yet. It took nazi germany several years to get there, and with time and expansion I think the USSR would have gotten there as well.

@@SeanUCF you are not understanding man. The nazis did not kill because they were just a empire. A lot of empires existed, before and even after, and most of them not considered gen0cide as part of their ideology. Nazism by DESIGN includes genocide. This is the difference. Nazis did not started to kill people because they expanded, they expanded to kill people. The nazi empire was created to destroy all jews and half of the slav population. Nazism by itself includes death of people. I recommend to you a video by the channel "Three Arrows", called "Jordan Peterson dont understand nazism". Peterson also claims that nazism was just a regular empire like any other, but it was NOT, and the owner of that channel gives you the information that you need to know about n4zism, and all discourses of Hitler himself were he says that jews should not exist. So even if people lived bad in Stalin goverment, he never considered them unworthy of life just because they were part of a people or nationality, and after his death his people started to live better. This could not happen in n4zi germany, jews and slavs would have no future there with Hitler or not as long as the country considered itself n4zi.
