CLIP DESCRIPTION:
A disappointed Khrushchev (Bob Hoskins) addresses his officers after they fail to take Stalingrad back from the Germans.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A turning point in 20th century war history is the focus of this fact-based account of the 1942-1943 battle of Stalingrad, in which the Germans were finally defeated by Russian influence -- one of the bloodiest battles in World War II history. The film stars Jude Law as Vassili, a marksman from the Urals who is transported to Stalingrad in 1942, and a master German sniper, Major Koenig (Ed Harris). Koenig, an expert German sniper, is determined to eliminate his formidable opponent by any means necessary; meanwhile, Vassili has joined forces with Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a young Russian political adversary, who is impressed by Vassili's skills and raises his profile in the Soviet Union. Both Vassili and Danilov become involved with Tanya (Rachel Weisz), whose Jewish parents have been captured by the Germans and have forced her to take up with the men on a sniper expedition. Koenig and Vassili begin to develop traps for each other, until fate inevitably must bring the two sharpshooters together. This large-scale production, financed mostly by Teuton companies, also features Bob Hoskins as Nikita Krushchev and Ron Perlman as an aging Russian sniper.

[@michaellynes3540]

Khrushchev was present at the Battle of Stalingrad, but Vasily Chuikov, commander of the 62nd Army, was in charge of Stalingrad’s defenses.

[@armchairgeneralissimo]

It's rumored that for a short while during the battle Chuikov was relieved of command because he had twice requested to relocate his command post on the other side of the river away from the battle. Upon hearing this Stalin over ruled Krushchev and Yaremenko and put Chuikov back in charge... Also I'm sure Chuikov had more important things to be doing than trying to inspire NKVD officers.

Its just as well, because Vasily Chuikov was one of the Red Army's most competent generals. Zhukov gets mentioned all the time, but Chuikov deserves his props as well. The tactics he employed at Stalin neutralized the firepower and to a lesser degree the numerical advantage the Germans initially possessed over him.

@Jakareh75 I'd say a more accurate portrayal of his character would've been in "death of stalin". I know that movie is a comedy and takes place after the war, but it captures the character and nature of Khruschev better than this movie. He comes off as much more stern in this film. Whereas in real life, he was stubborn but also slightly more timid, and very cautious of his attitude towards his superiors.

These also only counted when in defensive roles as the order itself was a response to unorganized retreats that left intelligence and supply lines in shambles of bad coordination in summer 1941. Blocking detachments did exist to stop retreating soldiers but they would only send them back to the front and would only be punished more severely if there was a lack of compliance.

Extolling one person above all the others was exactly counter to communistic ideals. No matter how much contribution someone did to society, he got nothing more than anyone else. For the communists this was a return to the Bourgeous ways. Nonetheless they did it. Medals were for the first time in decades awarded and heroes were applauded.

[@saf9310]

@@georice81 No, it wasn't. You're conflicting ideals with the actual regime. You're providing just one of many examples of how inconsistent the USSR was in following the very political philosophy it promoted (it couldn't even stand up to the most fundamental qualifications of socialism, let alone communism which had a rich, democratic mainstream segment, before the Bolsheviks took over and pretty much eradicated it, along with other socialists, like anarchists). Them "extolling one person above all else" was ingrained in the leadership structure (Vanguard party) from the very beginning, and was similiar to elite attitude in capitalist societies. You can't create a classless society if you still have more than one class, of which the bureaucratic is one. Authoritarian communism lays the basis for totalitarianism and of a cult of personality, which we first saw in the USSR. Stalin was being promoted and revered in a completely totalitarian fashion, depicted as a God and the savior of the country. This was to a much less degree, but still to a relevant extent, true for those further down in the bureaucracy (its military and political leaders being propagandized no less than in similiar capitalist countries, democracies and dictatorships). As for medals being awarded for the first time in decades, this is false; medals were awarded before WW2, and many of them were established in the 1930s. Hero of the Soviet Union, which Zaitsev is awarded in the movie, was established in 1934 and awarded throughout that decade. Same with Order of Lenin, the other Medal of Honor/Iron Cross equivalent, which succeeded the Order of the Red Banner in 1930. In fact, the USSR was quite active in awarding medals, extending it even to civilian life.

[@erwin669]

@@saf9310 The Red Army was formed they completely did away with rank structure and military awards. The first recipients of the Order of Lenin weren't individuals, it was awarded to the newspaper Pravda and to some factories. The first award of the Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded as a group to pilots who participated in a search and rescue operation. When Stalin reintroduced ranks back into the Red Army Trotsky wrote "“A still more deadly blow to the principles of the October revolution was struck by the decree restoring the officers’ corps in all its bourgeois magnificence." He even made the claim that Stalin's purge was due in part to the introduction of ranks in the Red Army.

What an actor Bob Hoskins was. Truly menacing.

[@philipamankwa579]

One of the coolest speeches to implement in an org. "Give Them Hope! Here, the men's only choice is between German bullets and ours. But there's another way. The way of courage. The way of love of the Motherland. We must publish the army newspaper again. We must tell magnificent stories, stories that extol sacrifice, bravery. We must make them believe in the victory. We must give them hope, pride, a desire to fight. Yes... we need to make examples. But examples to *follow*. What we need are heroes."

[@Tony.L9793]

must give credit to the one who wrote this line for the movie

[@algorithmsavior3820]

"And do you know of any heroes?!"

[@MrPomdownunder]

Bob did that role well....Loved all his work.... Even "On the move !"

[@keiko909]

lol the way he dragged that other bloke out of the way to hear him

[@rooftopvoter3015]

I caught that also. Loved the sound effects of getting grabbed.

The clarity or picture quality is phenomenal!

[@kaarel545]

Khrushchev's highest position was secretary. First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Highest position in the Soviet Union). Fun-though-unrelated-fact. Mikhail Gorbachev was the first president of the Soviet Union (as they changed his title from First Secretary) and for a short period (about half a year) both Soviet Union and Russia had a president. Russian president at the time was Boris Yeltsin.

[@davidsike1766]

He reminds me of Danny Davito.

Enemy at the gates is one of the greatest movies ever

[@chicopedra8988]

i want them to act like they have BALLS! I WANT THEM TO STOP SHITTIN' THEIR PANTS ! lmfaooo i can't stop laughing at this part !

[@stephenburgess5109]

Thats how Khrushchev spoke.

[@hamiltonkingsley6212]

I recognized Khrushchev the moment he stepped off of the plane. Bob Hoskins did such a great job I did not know that was him until they rolled the credits.

[@charlietheanteater3918]

0:55-0:58 If I ever have kids, I will no “BALLS!” say this to my significant other when they go through potty training

[@Ashesofour]

Ok that my me laugh :p

[@foridest6607]

0:55 this is what your dad says when you were a baby.

[@vmipsychmajor888]

Of course they cut it out before the best line of the scene. :(

[@nirmaljohnson5502]

He looks like Beria from Death of Stalin

[@comradedyatlov2010]

0:53

[@johnonyngamoza4129]

I love the moment when he call Stalin "Boss"

[@IrishCarney]

Which was historically authentic. Stalin was commonly called "Vozhd" which translates into English as "chief", "master" or "boss"

[@AlanCanon2222]

Those quick pans to reaction shots remind me of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris, especially Burton's debriefing after his flight over the Solaris ocean.

[@NormAppleton]

When Kchruschev comes to listen, Hoskins changes so quickly. His eyes say it all..

[@SurvivingTheApocalypse]

Always thought Hoskins looked too old to play Khrushchev when I originally saw this. He was actually not far off age wise in that Khrushchev was 48 in 1942 and Hoskins was 59 when this was filmed.

[@Marcfj]

Nikita Khrushchev was the first Head of State I saw in my life. I was sitting alone on a wooden guard fence that ran along Twin Peaks Boulevard in San Francisco when he and his entourage drove by me. I waved and Khrushchev grinned and waved back. I immediately liked him.

[@smokingcrab2290]

You got low standards

[@blip1]

Kruschev, for all his faults, is an entertaining person to read of in history.

[@NormAppleton]

Khruschev was a the BEST leader of USSR. The Cuban missile crisis was stoopid and hideously dangerous. But he created the space program, developed an ingenious housing program. Life in the USSR well into the 70's wasn't bad, post Stalin. Breshnev kind of Drank it along.

[@Raelspark]

Love you, Mr. Hoskins. R.I.P.

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

Rest in Death

[@ultra_magnusguerrero6564]

0:06 its a reference...Stalin behind and Krushov in front, like his reemplacement in the real life...

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

Rest in Peace,Comrade Bob Hoskins.

[@myfavoritepointguard446]

This is my workmates and our Boss every monday morning.

[@neilmurray1771]

Simply genius acting

[@silenthunder85]

"STALIN-grad!!!!!" lol not a very big role in this movie, but definitely the ONLY choice for such a role! RIP Bob

[@Land_Cruiser_40]

How did Khrushchev know at this stage that there was going to be a major battle at Kursk? Cheers

[@virgiljianu7166]

He didn't,he just picked the city at random.

[@louayghanjati5056]

Kursk has already been lost in 1941 thus he mentionned it as a fallen city like Minsk and Kiev.

[@santiagosaus5417]

Exelente video 💎💎💎

[@dayanalopez5613]

1:38 killed me 😂😂😭

[@pacco9532]

It didn’t though did it?

[@neoconwarhawk1001]

He will play a very important part during and after the death of starlin.

[@fasiapulekaufusi6632]

"To rule with love has more loyalty and power than to rule with fear."

[@kenoliver8913]

Macchiavelli in The Prince said the reverse. He said that there are two ways of motivating people - love and fear. But "“since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved”. Stalin actually kept a copy of Macchiavelli's book on his bedside table.

[@ReadySetRudy]

The blue caps are a nice touch. I never noticed those until after I read more history about the soviet union.

[@Siddingsby]

They didn't seem so bothered when Stalino fell

[@jonathancooper4914]

Hoskins was a wonderful actor. R.I.P.

[@SeanQuinn-IrishMarxist]

Love this movie

[@cshubs]

I like how you cut off the scene. Way to go.

[@KGBBooks]

I’m American and the only Bob Hoskins roles I’m familiar with are Eddie Valiant, Mario, and Khrushchev. When he passed away, I was amazed to learn that he was British and starred in so many other roles!

[@varianschirmer9375]

Hoskins was originally going to be Capone in Untouchables with Kevin Costner & Sean Connery. They bought out his contract to cast DeNiro instead. So... how different would that movie look if Hoskins had remained as Al Capone instead?
