team explores the divisive figure of joseph stalin and discover parts of the capital associated with the notorious soviet dictator that's up next. hello and welcome to the program on this weeks moscow out so we'll be taking a look our the most famous figures in russian history joseph stalin and we start off here at the museum ot sculpture park next to the famous nine hundred thirty eight granite sculpture of the soviet leader there were many interesting locations and places connected to the soviet leaders life and death. this sinister monument represents the victims of stalin's purges in the one nine hundred thirty seven

million people were held in prison camps amount of time his rule was over and the hundreds of thousands still alive if you take a closer look you can see that the nose on the statues face is broken one reason the majority of the controversial leaders step cheese were removed gradually from the towns and cities across the u.s.s.r. . as one of history's most notorious dictators he was for some a war hero who modernized the country to others he was a mass murderer it was a reign of terror to his people. he used to be a bad man i think it was very dangerous in stalin to believe he's. a leader that led the country after lenin. he was a murdered a lot of people but three million people. maybe not the best guy. he always destroyed your in your military before. you were after the nazis so.

it was a good fight. and he was a good person. but was he able to destroy the nazi regime yes because of his leadership in the world. and was. a great warrior who brought you through. some really really tough times in the war. in leaving you did what he had to do to you were busy twice time magazine's person of the year to this day stalin still evokes mixed emotions. most modern day russians will continue to respect those who fought the nazis but they can separate this from respect for a vicious ruthless tyrant. in washington if we did not believe in his time many people say he's a terrible tyrant who how can we know who he was or how he rules.

the soviet art here the need to trust gallery is well worth seeing it off as a real insight into the creativity of the time this grand pieces called stalley and for a show in kremlin painted by alexander in life in thirty eight he was one of the few mostest ports to officially work on commission which will sell and i remember that all work had to celebrate the leader of the state to paste in the myth of a happy country and told us to any artist of the time and soviet pieces like these have been gaining much more popularity in the world school should houses. was now arrived at red square as burial sites by the kremlin moules many servia leaders military personnel and influential figures were laid to rest here when stalin died in one hundred fifty three many openly wept for the man they called father teacher or god he was old enough still generally loved by the masses although lenin has a grand mostly him on red square not many people know that stalin is in fact here

ok said right behind it next to the kremlin walls or is the embalmed in later arrest next to lenin fête years. after his death it was decided in the late one nine hundred fifty s. due to his controversial reign his body should be removed from public viewing. the death of style and pave the way for a wave of liberalization in the arts although no official change in policy took place began to feel free to experiment in the work the next location is the gorki house museum it was built in one thousand nine hundred for. a textile aaron head of the russian stock exchange featuring a mix of hallways in a spectacular gallery style design this building was one of the main locations associated with serbia literature. well as a file of literature around several meetings here with various writers in this building he even later went on to give the house to the writer in nineteen thirty

one and as the author was famously known for his love and passion of play in interior design i really wonder what he would have thought of this breathtaking elaborate a stone marble staircase maybe stalin had a sense of humor after all but at the moment still this room the dining room is a perfect example of the stalinist style it can be used as a period piece film set its furniture including the cardboard table chairs and the grand piano come from the nine hundred thirty is the full right to mix in gorky moved into this house several soviet organizations were located here one of them was a kindergarten for top party members and stalin son vassily was one of the kids who spent time here during his childhood believe it was extremely meticulous over who he allowed to write or paint the whole creative world was under his thumb and any mistake could mean certain death that sent sal and suppression didn't stop other writers from producing famous works. for instance was forced to write his

masterpiece the most remarkable eater in secret. so other venues are located. in the capital connected with joseph stallin stallin had several residences outside moscow as they called russia his favorite one was the residents known as the house was built in the one nine hundred thirty s. but it had undergone reconstruction changes many times according to stalin's taste he likes the place not a mostly lived there during the second world war period and beyond stalin famously died at the residence in march nineteenth fifty three sans bunker in the small of a is a branch of the central museum of forces it's an exciting place to visit as it's an authentic military construction from the one nine hundred thirty s. used by stalin jury in world war two from nine hundred forty one to nine hundred forty five it was turned into a museum in one thousand nine hundred six after a major reconstruction origine the bunker was a top secret location and to hide it

a large stadium and sports complex with thousands of businesses was built above it the underground chambers were connected to the city center with a seventeen kilometers long tunnel could be handy nowadays to avoid being stuck in traffic. on the wrong cell and played in the us saw has been studied by scholars and historians for decades from architecture to nature and technology the leader was on a mission to change everything and to discuss the debatable positive steps telling me to watch the country let's meet this week's guest. because a great to meet you well so you all of the architecture too to hear the stroke. was they were doing research projects well there's no teaching or work a texture well the but they pose a greater program. this year there are five themes.

one over there is the preservation of heritage regarding architectural heritage style and. architecture is very dominant in the russian capital today and yes you are right well of course telling the stark a picture well has a great impact well it to the urban structure of moscow did it to dilute coat of the it with a c.t. in it on the lead in moscow also in another another c.t. so russia. well i think in this world because. its influence is very serious still to today because we cannot imagine moscow without for example seven sisters we don't still against skyscrapers with with metro. as well. but well i would prefer to split well the political regime and architecture and art that's why it seems to me that

architecture maybe it's one of the few positive. results of this of this spirit what do you think the average opinion in the streets of moscow is on stalin today well i'm not a specialist of course i'm not an expert historian oh. well my personal way to you it is negative of course but i'm not sure all the all the russian people know are. with me it was great to me here thanks for your time and good luck with your work here in this truck institute yes thank you very much thank you. you think you look ations associated with stalin and you most probably think of the moscow kremlin i read a lot about russia in history when i was in school. and. the role of russia in the second world war and i wrote a book called marx lenin stalin to come to red square to visit the kremlin

it's just special it's big with its tall towers imposing red famous pools and sensational history it's the perfect place to visit on a sunny day in the capital. you aren't allowed in the administrative buildings he is standing by and entry to the kremlin all together. even the police during stalin's times the kremlin was almost all visitors it was turned into a huge minute. of complex which serve not only as offices for the party's top officials and the leader of the state would also the apartments were located inside the kremlin walls. where the tyrant or hero one thing is clear just like peter the great napoleon or hitler the soviet leader will be forever criticized discussed and evaluated from stalin statue of the ancient kremlin to old seven sisters skyscrapers you two can visit many places connected with the most

controversial man in russian history a savior or mass murderer stalin's legacy is larger than life and will certainly never be forgotten. unfortunately that's all that's how we have on this week's program i'll see you again at the same time next week and tell them from me and the rest of the team inside the peaceful kremlin. about.

it will destroy order. here this street still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal that in the soviet files. i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can cutting factory. but we have less garbage now. some visitors who come here make fun of me. regular garbage boy i'm
