The Real Story of Joseph Stalin | Best Stalin Documentary

Joseph Stalin would rise from humble beginnings to become the leader of the Soviet Union, one of the world’s largest superpowers, being unafraid to sacrifice anything or anyone to achieve power. His political opponents would be shot, his own citizens would be hunted down by the secret police, and millions would be sentenced to backbreaking work in Gulag labour camps.

Between 1930 and 1952, over 26 million people had been shot, imprisoned, or subjected to internal exile, an average of over 1 million per year. Tens of millions more would be arrested without charge, evicted from their homes, or forced to work on dangerous projects, with it being estimated that at least 60 million people had been subjected to some form of repression during Stalin’s rule. But despite this, many Soviet citizens would remain devoted to their leader. The state produced an endless stream of propaganda, portraying Stalin as a hero and a father figure. Paintings, songs and statues were all commissioned by the dictator, with several towns and cities being named after him. Official history books would distort events beyond recognition, and he would go as far as to doctor historical photographs, removing his political rivals from important events in Soviet history.
Hero or tyrant, a great moderniser or a ruthless killer, there can be no doubt that Stalin was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, whose legacy has shaped the world as we know it today.

    @@danielhartnett9242 Indeed! So at the risk of rambling on forever, and this video does a good job in a basic sense I think as it briefly mentions the goal/ends that the means eventually corrupted in the...end...lol, but if anyone cares, there's definitely some political/historical context I would have included to make the presentation more understandable from a descriptive standpoint that formed the bounds of material and ideological realities/possibilities, like the conception of Bonapartism in Marxism regarding his concern for military overthrow or 1918 Germany as the historical contingency for the success of the Bolsheviks and their USSR project as a whole (will attempt to explain in a second), but definitely some great footage and did briefly mention the context of imposed state-capitalism toward the goal of industrialization after the failure of Germany's SPD to align with the international socialist movement regarding the issue of war credits, resulting in extensive executions by the paramilitary freikorps (later becoming the SS, oops...) to put down the subsequent sailor revolts that led to mainland uprisings, the outcome of which being the establishment of Weimar, though it easily could have went toward a socialist organization of property relations which would have then been a massive industrial base for the movement and the one the Bolsheviks were explicitly relying on toward the goal of the USSR having any possibility of long-term success (what Marx had predicted as a precondition for global revolution ie why the bolsheviks were explicitly dependent on its outcome), else be forced into a geopolitical context of competing capitalist nation-states that had just gone to war and were uncoincidentally about to enter another from this context of competing domination. Also like maybe the fact that his paranoia wasn't _entirely_ baseless corroborated by things like Sykes-Picot secret treaty between Russian empire and the western powers and the western powers' massive support for the white army during the civil war, gaining only more veracity after WWII with like Operation Gladio in Italy and Span and such, not to mention the 2 nuclear bombs being dropped pretty much entirely just to draw a red line for the USSR's sphere of influence as Japan was willing to surrender (but only to the USSR, not unconditionally to the US as the US demanded), the USSR's planned entering into the pacific was coordinated by FDR at Yalta and the 2nd bomb dropped by Truman was mere hours after this invasion is of course revealing toward this intention. I would have also included the bank robbery portion of his life merely because it was indisputably badass, pretty sure there was a grenade launcher involved at one point lol, actually important though as to influencing the paranoia and such I think too, and yeah maybe some of his poetry and stuff idk, but other than that the video is generally pretty fair and the footage/presentation great. _"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living."_ - some guy (Marx, to not be facetious lol) There's plenty more to say on all of this (hopefully obvious, encourage further independent investigation into anything and everything I'm mentioning) but I think helpful toward expanding consideration here actually, just because I know I wasn't aware of this for most of my life in a similar vein of simply having never been explicitly taught any of it, some other important historical context (I would say at least) going to likely be circumstantially unknown that I recommend at least some familiarity with to square the circle of one's perspective/ideology, particularly toward where we find ourselves now and importantly regarding the narrow bounds of political possibility that forms our array of potential futures (or lack thereof, aside from the "common ruin of the contending classes" sadly, my god climate change _alone_ right?) as I think this info will put some further balance against the (some true obviously, most exaggerated) propaganda against the USSR by the US, ie what was required during the cold war and kept hidden/glossed over when revealed, as this set the global geopolitical chessboard further to the advantage of the US: US involvement in "regime change", the entire operational history of the CIA, NATO and color revolutions, Operation Gladio, Operation Cyclone, Operation Condor, Iran installing the Shah in '53, Guatemala in '54, Sukarno in Indonesia, Lumumba in the Congo, the first 9/11 in 1973 in Chile ousting democratically elected Allende to install Pinochet's military dictatorship (using a literal nazi we protected in the ratlines to south america Paul Schafer, also a huge pedophile because of course he was), Operation Mongoose/Northwoods and the absurd/criminal embargo of Cuba, honestly this is the tip of the imperial iceberg, far too many insanely grotesque operations to list, some even domestic to the US (the Schmitean "exception"; tangentially related it was Stalin who coined the term "American exceptionalism" but from this negative fascist-ideological-origin of sovereign political power - see Carl Schmitt for more) and quite related like Operation Mockingbird, to which I'll quote William Casey CIA director under Reagan aka absolute demon regarding its efficacy, _"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."_ Some recommended reading for anyone unfamiliar with the insane covert operations of the cold war like I was for most of my life, check out The Devil's Chessboard by David Talbot, Killing Hope by William Blum, The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins, Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins, War is a Racket by Smedley Butler (also see: "Business plot", Bonus army thing), etc. etc. Or just like look up any of that stuff mentioned, US involvement "regime change" or any and/or all of the CIA's operational history, the consistent and really quite excessive pattern of interests alone would make their intentions _quite_ transparent but luckily they also are surprisingly open and forward most of the time in spite of the callous belligerent plots schemed and carried out (the ones _not_ carried out are also revealing/insane, Operation Northwoods for instance) which you might think would be more carefully covered up but merely hides in plain sight, "cui bono?" of course is the _only_ question of politics. Might I also recommend this entertaining yet informative podcast on Stalin through a historical materialist lens ie with a focus on the material contingencies and ideological boundaries/realities/possibilities that emerge from such historical material conditions, also pretty hilarious which helps, some guys reviewing the book Young Stalin (haven't heard this in a while, but I remember it being good and forming some of my intrigue toward all of this): kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6eT2MuLqNzggKQ.html Oh yeah also (I swear last thing lol) just because someone mentioned they're from the Philippines, I would add to that brief counterbalancing broad historical narrative the US invasion/occupation of the Philippines in 1899 taking opportunistic control from colonial Spain and then again during WWII in 1944ish that is generally similarly not discussed/taught (for reasons I'm badly trying to illuminate if not clear lol). I guess to end this random rant and highlight the throughline of my own politics, I guess I'll go back to where I started and note Rosa Luxemburg's political slogan from the uprisings in 1918 Germany that I think are still relevant today, uncoincidentally executed by the SPD's coordination of the freikorps paramilitary to suppress those revolts/dissent (as mentioned in beginning, later formalizing into the SS when the nazis take over from Von Papen, "oopsies"): socialism or [continued] barbarism. _"The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."_ - some guy, again (yeah, Marx again lol), a bit optimistic at the end we wouldn't just choose individual delusion while everything burns. Not looking too good currently, but uh...pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will...or something lol...

    @@danielhartnett9242 OH YEAH quick addendum for further context and understanding/other recommendation... _Vital_ for the US hegemony ie global neoliberal finance capitalist corporate empire (akin to the optimates of late Rome) _to this very day_ is the Bretton-Woods international financial system, maintained with a latticework of transnational capital flow and more specifically the currency hegemony of the dollar and its established status as the world reserve currency during this conference toward the goal of an international finance system. The IMF/World Bank emerge as international institutions ostensibly to coordinate international loans/monetary policy but their political allegiance and control by the US (which itself is captured by _supranational_ finance/corporate capital, hopefully that much is clear) is betrayed by its actions in the cold war context I was trying to lay out before, particularly obvious in its "washington consensus" -debt peonage/resource/labor pool control/austerity- "structural adjustment" policies. In the 70s, capital rallies around the ideological notion of "neoliberalism", which is now ubiquitously imposed by our ruling class; just a reference point for more on all of this stuff and essentially just a dogmatic devotion to markets/capitalism at quite literally all other costs and obvious contradictions (climate change alone for example, obviously being an obvious enormous existential threat, and one that highlights the lack of political will toward _any_ action at all to mitigate it, necessarily constricted to this bounds of bourgeois dictatorship). After the Nixon shock in '71, the petrodollar system de facto grounds the dollar's purchasing power (OPEC tries to leverage this in '73, etc) and this broadly speaking points to the importance of controlling petrol trade in foreign policy, why for instance we hate Venezuela as it sits on the largest oil reserves in the world and after Chavez nationalized oil revenues breaking free from the Bretton-Woods system in order to do this, this inherently poses an alternative means of oil trade not under direct influence of the dollar/US empire, essentially, if that made any sense lol. Anyway, also, here's a hilarious/interesting/good series by Matt Christman/Chris Wade of Chapo Trap House on the entire history of the US following a historical materialist lens on the lineage of presidents, similar to like Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States or just like what marxism intends to describe in general with dialectical/historical materialism, but importantly (to me) is also hilarious and easy to understand: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2R3zsprn9jUiso.html

    @@foxichannel6054 The famine was a consequence of Stalin's botched job of collectivisation. The Stalinist-reformists spent years supporting the Kulaks and encouraging them to "get richer", and opposing the Left Opposition's collectivisation proposals. Then, after the Kulaks became too powerful, Stalin was forced to do a 180 and initiated his disastrous forced collectivisation.

    Interesting to hear no mentioning of the major Stalin-Trotsky discussion that separates one from the other. The idea of "permanent revolution" was held by Trotsky and his denial of the possibility of a Socialist Revolution in one country, his idea of keeping applying the War Communism, his idea of exporting the Soviet Revolution into Poland and Germany, is completely ignored in this documentary. Joseph Stalin was elected as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU in April 1922 during the 11th Congress of the Party. Between then and until his death, he asked to be relieved of his duties as General Secretary a total of four times - all of which were rejected. Stalin’s first attempt at resignation (likely in 1925) from the post of General Secretary was at a meeting of the Central Committee after the 13th Congress (held in May 1924). This was rejected unanimously by all the delegations, including Trotsky.

They resisted the collectivization of land and agriculture because they stood to lose a lot. Many of the poor peasantry supported the seizing of kulak lands and their subsequent imprisonment as well.

    Stalin fue un GIGANTE de su tiempo. Iósif Stalin vivió en una época histórica, en donde el mundo requería de liderazgos fuertes. Así que tuvo que ser un dirigente enérgico. Severo. ¡Imponente! O, de otro modo, la “Madre Rusia” hubiera desaparecido del mapa. Stalin fue lo que tenía qué ser: Un Gran Líder. Un Gran Estadista. Stalin heredó un país yermo, rural, preterido, analfabeta, hambriento, supersticioso, deprimido, carente de todo y, para colmo, delirantemente desamparado. Rusia era entonces, un país de “Siervos” (Esclavos), y Stalin lo convirtió en una súper potencia industrializada y poderosa, que puso a temblar al mundo. Rusia estaba atrasada en 100 años con respecto a Occidente y, superadas las precariedades y todas las devastaciones que causó la Guerra, él, Stalin, el “Fundador de la URSS”, puso en marcha el primer Programa Aero-Espacial del mundo. Stalin recibió una Rusia que estuvo en guerra casi 30 años. (Empezando con la humillante derrota frente al Imperio de Japón, 1904-1905. Revolución Rusa, 1905. WWI, 1914-1918. Revolución Bolchevique 1917-1922. Guerra Civil contra los “Rusos Blancos”, 1922-1927. WWII 1940-1945… Más la Pandemia de la mal llamada “Fiebre Española”, en 1918-1920. Después les llegó el brote de la “Peste Bubónica” en 1926. ―En 1932-33, Stalin implementó una campaña general de vacunación contra la viruela, la cual, en 1936, propuso que fuese una campaña a nivel mundial. Iniciada por Stalin y secundada por todas las naciones del planeta, la viruela se erradicó en 1980―. Y, además el “Crack Financiero de Wall Street”, de 1929-1937). O sea que, Stalin, asumió el poder de un país golpeado por las guerras, enfermo por la Pandemia y, económicamente quebrado por la crisis mundial. Estas calamidades dejaron una Rusia desposeída y miserable. Stalin la rescató imponiendo disciplina y trabajo. Ni antes ni hoy, nadie en el mundo puso en duda su ENORME LIDERAZGO. Stalin fue genial; magnífico, cultísimo y astuto. Fue un Titán con mano de hierro. Amado por su pueblo y temido por sus enemigos. Hace más de 70 años que Stalin murió y, la Propaganda Occidental, no afloja en denostarlo. ¿Con qué propósito? ¿Cuál sería su utilidad ahora? [*Y, acá, va un dato que dimensiona la grandeza de Stalin. Joseph Stalin, fue nominado DOS veces al Premio Nobel de la Paz (en 1945 y 1948), con el apoyo de múltiples instituciones universitarias de Reino Unido, Francia, Italia, Suiza, Bélgica, y Grecia. Esas nominaciones fueron tomadas en serio por el Comité en Oslo. A él se le acabó su tiempo. Stalin murió en 1953, sin recibir nada de nadie, pero sí, todo el reconocimiento de su propio pueblo amoroso.]. ¡¡¡SLAVA KOBA!!! ¡¡¡SLAVA STALIN!!! .

    Stalin remarked on this later in 1927 in a speech at a meeting of the Central Committee: It is said that in that “will” Comrade Lenin suggested to the congress that in view of Stalin’s “rudeness” it should consider the question of putting another comrade in Stalin’s place as General Secretary. That is quite true. Yes, comrades, I am rude to those who grossly and perfidiously wreck and split the Party. I have never concealed this and do not conceal it now. Perhaps some mildness is needed in the treatment of splitters, but I am a bad hand at that. At the very first meeting of the plenum of the Central Committee after the Thirteenth Congress, I asked the plenum of the Central Committee to release me from my duties as General Secretary. The congress itself discussed this question. It was discussed by each delegation separately, and all the delegations unanimously, including Trotsky, Kamenev, and Zinoviev, obliged Stalin to remain at his post. What could I do? Desert my post? That is not in my nature; I have never deserted any post, and I have no right to do so, for that would be desertion. As I have already said before, I am not a free agent, and when the Party imposes an obligation upon me, I must obey. A year later I again put in a request to the plenum to release me, but I was again obliged to remain at my post. What else could I do?

    This was well paced, thank you. I'd like to mention for anyone interested; the topic of Stalin's son Yakov, and how he heckled at his suicide attempt and refused negociation offers when he was put in a concentration camp after being captured fighting from the front line. Yakov lived a miserable life because of his father. If you're still reading this and want to see how his fate was sealed I made a video covering it. The final result is controversial however still interesting, Stalin was cold as ice. Edit: spelling

    Let me ask you a question and see if you might know the answer,i have seen many pictures of Stalin walking around with his entourage,there is always a little man next to him with a little white beard and hes always wearing a flatcap, kinda looks like a Colonel Sanders, who is that? ive always wanted to know that,i mean if Stalin is on a podium, that man is close by,on the streets, next to a river,it doesn't matter, always there, so i was just curious, thank you for your input!!

    For somebody who has studied the life of Stalin for over 30 years as well as the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union this documentary had many flaws as well inaccuracies. The basic points about him being born in Georgia, family background, early youth , learning about socialism and Marxism while at the seminary ,etc we're for the most part correct. If any of this perked your interest in this man I would highly recommend Stephen Kotkins 3 volume work on Stalin, Robert Conquest brilliant book The great Terror, which is without a doubt the bible on the purges of the 30's. Also The Red Tsar another excellent biography on Stalin. 30 minutes is far to short to give a true picture of this man but in general the documentary here gives a fairly accurate account albeit with a few inaccuracies.

    I mean this in only a positive way and have enjoyed your content long enough to have thought to myself "how many more years am I gonna have to wait for Part 2?" and to then one day re-watch Part 1 and laugh at all the people who felt the same way and then to laugh again after your post about finishing Part 2 was another year of waiting. With all that said, I think you had and still have a opportunity to make a unique Stalin vid. With a lot of the WWII narative propaganda that still persist to this day we are now starting to see it fade away and Stalin is key in it losing it's grip. Stalin did not have his best friend, Kirov, assassinated, research into the Soviet archives have now proven that this was always speculation. I believe you missed one of the biggest accomplishments of Stalin and is more interesting than the war time propaganda we, the Allies, produced to sell Stalin to the American public by framing narratives that looking back on now is just embarrassing that these narratives are still held as common knowledge even though they crumble under even the most basic criticisms. I forgot some of the other points I had so I'll have to watch it again and add a follow up to this post later. Still excellent work as always.
