I appreciate that this video tries to lay out the facts instead of injecting constant opinion and bias. If the facts reveal bad things there is no need to inject additional opinion anyway. Well done!

one small note, romania was not annexed by the soviet union, only bessberia (moldova) was taken, which also prompted romania to join the Axis powers.

I knew a Russian immigrate in the early 90s he told me that when he got word of Stalin's death he cried like he lost he's father.

There are decades when centuries happen and that was during the short sprint of the USSR's history.

This is just another hogwash on Stalin's history. You cleverly skipped the part in 1917, when 14 Capitalist countries invaded USSR and made deals with white army to divide the lands of USSR, which made the Soviets to handle the traitors within the party with iron hands. What Stalin did through rapid industrialization, made USSR to withstand Germany's brutal attack, when the western capitalist countries folded within days and weeks. France, Belgium and Netherlands lost the statehood to German invasion in a matter of weeks. UK only survived because of the English Channel separating Britain from West Europe. It was USSR that faced the brutal invasion and beat back the Nazis. If it wasn't for Stalin, USSR would have folded within 2 months at max.

The greatest leader of the 21st century, I know most westerners would disagree, but no country developed as quick as the Soviet Union under comrade Stalin, under severe pressure from inside and outside the Soviet Union he conquered, without him, Russia would be standing as it is today

[derekgregory]

Stalin never "defeated all his rivals to become leader" his position as general secretary basically made him the man who had to know everything for everyone and was constantly hounded by the other members for either information or help with issues but his position he was given as general secretary is the one he held until his death but that position isn't like president or prime minister at the time it was actually made up by Lenin to get him out of military control after his spat with Trotsky. ironically Stalin basically fell into the role of leader. It wasn't until the purges in the 30's that he started actually using his power to defend against counter revolutionaries in the party while also causing possibly a few innocent members to parish caused by anxiety due to the fear of war with either Germany or the West.

"Ussr annexe romania", too much internet for me, history is better in books...

[JohnnyChronic]

Some people think he was a hero?? Wow.

[AnilKumar-hyhu]

Obviously, Stalin was a dictator and was responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Additionally, he eliminated most of his rivals, but on the other hand, he was a hero who deserves all appreciation for the survival of Russia and USSR. It was he who, with his strong determination of throwing Germans out of the USSR by defeating Nazi Germany. Had he not been that cruel, the USSR would have been part of Hitler's Nazi Germany. You had covered one part by showing cruelty and atrocities carried out by Stalin. Would be highly appreciated if someone could show up the courage and determination of Stalin that had led USSR in defeating the Nazi Germany. Whatever he did did it for the existence of Russia and USSR more than his personal gains.
He did his best for making his country strong enough to face the challenges of today's colonizers and American imperialism.

If only Netanyahu remembered the image of Sharon in his last years and his tragic end when he remained between life and death in the intensive care unit for eight years! And also the end of Stalin who slaughtered half of his people in the name of the people! And starved and oppressed the rest! As his daughter told it... He who does not learn from those who came before him becomes a lesson for those who come after him!

Heroes dont stand on piles of innocent corpses that they murdered

[AbdulRahman-uwnd]

the rsfsr included all of central asia. the central asia was divided into ssr's later. moscow is really far from where it actually is. Stalin becamse dictator in 1924, not 1929. Romania wasnt annexed as a part of the molotov ribbentrop pact, but bessarabia (moldavia/modova). the capture of berlin didnt lead to hitler suiciding, he suicided 2 days earlier. yugoslavia existed at the time, u showed modern day borders which took a lot more violence to create. the soviet army's name is the red army. its not kim 2 in roman sung, its il, the letters i and L.
