The Mass Murderer Nobody Talks About: Joseph Stalin Part 1 | Dark History with Bailey Sarian

Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. We all know of Hitler, and you might know of Joseph Stalin… but did you know that Stalin was DEADLIER than Hitler? Me neither. Anyways, Stalin is a real rags-to-dictator type of guy. So much so that this story needs two episodes to do it justice, so stay tuned for part two next Thursday.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Am I the only one who wants Bailey on hot ones? I think that’d be quite the interview!

[luz]

The fact he escaped Siberia 8 times is insane to me, I learned about being exiled to Siberia during this time in my world history class and I’m genuinely so shocked

[billiep]

I’d be sooo interested in an episode on Rasputin and the Romanov family. I was a huge history nerd in high school and I always found that interesting.

[justinedean]

EVERYONE MARK YOUR ATTENDANCE FOR MISS BAILEY'S CLASSS👇

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE LIKES❤️ AND BAILEY FOR YOUR HEART TOO♥️

I am from Ukraine and my maternal grand grandparents were kulaks. They were deprived of all their property and sent away from their home to Kyrgyzstan. My grandparents returned to Ukraine only in 1970’s. Thank you Bailey for mentioning Holodomor. Stalin was the absolute monster.

[Ali_Sky_Violin]

As a Russian thank you so much for covering this. When I was in school (and I’m sure it’s still happening now) our history books wouldn’t talk about all the bad stuff. Even till this day so many people are brainwashed and it’s very sad.

[MikeTXBC]

A common theme among people in general is that they dislike rules being applied to them, but when they themselves apply rules to others, they expect those rules to be followed.

I'd love to see Dark History on the Romanovs and the theories!

[violeta]

My fathers aunt passed ~40-45 years ago (unfortunately I’m not sure when exactly). In the village my family had two homes one of which belong to the aunt Margarita. When she passed Georgia was still a part of Soviet Union. When we visit our village her home is like a Time Machine because ever since she passed no one lived in that house.. you can see pictures of Stalin all over the walls. There was even shrine like wall all dedicated to Stalin. That’s how idealized he was in Soviet Union countries especially in Georgia. The house is filled with newspapers and books from that time. First time I went there I was like 15 and I was so shocked because before I didn’t believe people actually idolized Stalin but I was convinced after.. that house really needs to be a museum, it’s fascinating and eerie!

[besaloem]

Cant help but smile every time bailey pronounces escape as ecscape 😂

[lindajohnsonkaplan]

Czarina Alexandra was Queen Victoria’s granddaughter and she raised her. Victoria didn’t want her to marry Nicholas because she had concerns over the stability of Russia. But Charlotte and Nicholas genuinely loved each other and married anyway. What happened to them was horrific.

[meagenlund]

I'm loving this episode. You should do a dark history about the Romanov family.

[_mybside]

I think you should also talk about other dictators that are less talked about, like Franco here in Spain (he came into power after winning the civil war in 1939 and ruled until his death in 1975. There are still supporters to this day) or Mussolini in Italy

[ShineOnDanceChannel]

Thank you for sharing about Holodomor in Ukraine. I am Ukrainian and my great-grandmother was the one of a few children survived in their village during 1932-1933. She told terrifying stories from that time on how soldiers were taking away everything, up until the last grain of wheat. People were eating grass and wood bark, because there was nothing else. Millions people died and we will forever remember that.

[anasophiaplatt]

I'm convinced that if Bailey was my history teacher in high school I would have loved going to history class!

[JessyKosmos]

Hoping Bailey does an episode on the War Against All Puerto Ricans book.

[pinzieoatmeal]

My great grandparents and great uncle died in Russian concentration camps. My grandmother was the only one who survived. She was born in 1912 in Austria-Hungary. She was amazing. She lived to be 91. I miss her every single day.

[gabrielzamecki]

"Crime and Punishment" and "The Master and Margarita" are compulsory reads in Polish high-school. They are excellent books ❤

[fatgrandmafinds]

Like many, I knew of Stalin but Bailey has a way of giving us history without turning it into a snooze fest. Excellent delivery of information and I can't wait for the 2nd part!

[Floraa]

This was incredible! My husband is from Ukraine so first let me thank you for putting some focus on Holodomor. It’s so horrific. And I’m so excited that you discussed Russian lit. How you described it was so perfect! Can’t wait for part 2!! ❤❤❤
