Joseph Stalin : My father used to punish me severely

Hitler : First Time?

I would love to see an Oversimplified version of just the Vietnam War.

[emirvmendoza]

Amazing how Oversimplified used the same scenes here in his Russian Revolution videos. Oversimplified cinematic universe confirmed.

Fun fact about Stalin: his son was captured by the Germans during the war, and when the Germans offered to release him if Stalin released a German field marshal, Stalin refused.

Man Oppenheimer must have been pissed.

That "Democracy is not perfect, but we've never had to build a wall to keep our people in" was a sick quote.

The poem at 10:52
Sadness around
Everywhere
My wife was eaten by a bear

True poetry <3

[teddyroosevelt]

“Americans wanted a president who’d be tough on communism”

“The sky is blue”

[josephstalin]

how the hell did you find all our conversations

[DesertPhantom]

Can we get Stalin wearing an apron as a character pin?

[JaynaeMarieXIV]

I'm a nerd. I binge-watch these constantly. Sorry not Sorry. I love how you slipped into this seamlessly from the Russian Revolution. My master's is in History (mostly antiquity), and I can say that none of my professors laid that down quite as well as you. Nice job!

[w__kahangemilyko]

Hitler: tell me a joke
Stalin: Moscow
Hitler: I don't get it
Stalin: Exactly

[AvoidedOrc]

"My father used to punish me severely."

What a reference

[cjthequick]

It took me 5 years to realize that the bass player's bass is actually a cello. The less wide frame and the pegs being directly to the side are key details.

[greeniscoollol]

12:55 Aww why did that sound so…soo…SO CUTE😂 “look at this vegetable peeler”

[alexh]

”Soviets faithful ally: the winter”
*smiles in Finnish*

[Memetastic]

Fun Fact: There were many occurrences of nuclear war almost starting, but some brave and smart Soviet and American personnel managed to prevent nuclear war.

[samusaran]

1:14 this part about Lenin is gold. Casually "caused a famine, and then he died". That famine killed five million people by the way (Russian famine 1921)
