in each other for many years. as the son of stalin's closest colleague. for the first time they were invited to stalin's country house to see with their own eyes where he lived and died good day to you hello glad to see you here we have you been here before many years ago. i have never been here my father used to be here quite often. showing them around stalin's residences historians are tough he co-wrote a book about constable and knows the place like the back of his hand. you know you might be pushed i now understand why start in the had given the order not to clean away the snow under the wind but he wanted to be able to see footprints as the windowsills were but. there were no such instructions. well he could have merely said it. well actually all his words were written down as
5:31 pm
a rule. let's start our tour let's begin with the small dining room. stalin was particularly fond of this room which doubled as his study. there's a fireplace here stalin enjoyed spending time in front of it on long winter evenings hunting rifle sound close by stalin loved to shoot and scare away the crows. on the first spring night of nine hundred fifty three he decided to sleep in this very room. the leader was so terrified of assassination attempts that he had several beds prepared for him around the house. not even his bodyguards knew where he would sleep each night but decision it was to prove fatal. the.
5:32 pm
way slept on different couches put a chair and a lamp next to the couch where he was going to sleep too because he usually read a book before falling asleep you know what you don't get it. on that night stalin went to bed at about four in the morning he had stayed up late with guests from his closest. nightly feasts were a regular affair. the bodyguards knew that their master would not be up before noon . but at midday the bell in stalin's room remained suspiciously silent by three pm he still had not emerged. guards weren't allowed to call on him uninvited that was strictly prohibited. later in the afternoon duty officers became seriously concerned. only by seven o'clock in the evening having received a letter from the kremlin to the officer on duty decided to take it to stalin. he found the soviet leader in the doorway of the next room lying unconscious on the
5:33 pm
floor. of the night i'm covered here this is where he was found and on this carpet between a table and the couch is still preserved when it is still unclear what happened to the steel and you know there was a glass of mineral water here. he would it was lying there most likely he stood up and failed to get to the couch feel the. stalin had suffered a massive stroke and there was no one close by to give him aid. there was soon rumors that stalin had not just died but was murdered. you know nor when a tyrant of such caliber dies these kinds of assumptions are always made of them so when a tyrant lives behind high walls there is always the feeling that his own circle
5:34 pm
might plot against him. stalin's worst fears of conspiracies and assassination may have come to pass with his sudden death the distrust of the people close to him so much that he fired his bodyguard nikolai vlasic who had headed his security service for twenty years and was one of his most loyal and reliable people shortly after his dismissal. ended up in jail. for much of last week was deficient the reason for the last six imprisonment was that he misbehaved and fooled around at the expense of the state the stella never blamed anyone for that he decided to get rid of him because vlasic had held office for too long and had become unreliable and you. would stand beside the leader during all publications he was a general who had finished only three classes of secondary school and had been decorated without having performed a single feat. stalin never knew that his personal bodyguard kept
5:35 pm
a secret diary of his time but the leader no one else did do so as stalin himself decide how and by whom it would be remembered in history. for many years for the last six unique record of the stalin era was classified just recently as it be made available to the general public. it's the only unofficial testimony of a man who had been with stalin all the time. used to wear an old shabby coat over his wife and of years to to make him a new one but she needed to take his measurements to do so she could have taken his old clothes and made a new one of the same size of the tailless she failed to take his measurements as he flatly refused to say he did in new coat but we still managed to make him a new coat we changed it for a new one when the chance arose staal him pretended that he hadn't noticed the list . elastic protected stella and was by his side for twenty years
5:36 pm
and of course he was deeply attached to style rules. in the evenings when we were on vacation we always had dinner together with secretary description and stone and joseph's only one of its jokes a lot and shared his memories from his past he told us about his life in exile in the tora hunt screeches those hours of leisure spent together with the leader will always remain the best hours of my life he was so likeable i always felt easy and free together with him. the diaries produce the impression that floods it like many other people formed an impaired judgment of what was going on instead of taking a critical view of the situation his mind was obscured with the ideology finally crafted by the leader of the. sick was the only person allowed to take pictures of stalin and his family at their country treat in these photographs stalin is not the grand figure of
5:37 pm
a propaganda poster but an ordinary about spending time with his family. in the one nine hundred thirty s. he trusted implicitly even allowing him to look after his children. but then a great tragedy struck for which he would never recover. if.

5:41 pm
what could have been just ruins. same by a great sacrifice. and restored by human jets it's. a remarkable reminder of courage and selflessness. the truth is if. people. can tell from the russian the site. alexander visits the nova da vinci cemetery and moscow every yeah i hear the soviet and russian elite such as nikolai gogol unbar as yeltsin of buried. the grave of stalin's wife and alexander's grandmother now dazed a little you have is also here. i was made to do you know the story of the monuments and do you know why her hand is about position in the deal so very
5:42 pm
talented sculptor sadar make this monument. and that's how he depicted the hand of someone who takes their own life. on the night of november the nights nineteen thirty two stalin second wife additional island we have shot herself after a fight with her husband. stalin did not attend the theater. i think she had no other way out yet and there was no way she could escape stalin as knowledge of who died on the numbers and she knew what a blow it was going to be for him yet do most of sort of that's why she did it i think that he did have a sense of guilt and the will in may have blamed the circumstances on her nature. but he certainly did have a sense of indirect guiltless in them going to. the man who was said to have a heart of steel hardened even more just a few years later the country was swept by
5:43 pm
a wave of repression taking willetts the old bolsheviks the cream of the intelligentsia generals of the armed forces and all surviving relatives of both stalin's wives. often a dish his death stalin would never marry again. well. he believed that she. put it down betrayed him. which well it's human not to blame oneself. he distanced himself from his children and moved to the conserve a country residence leaving his daughter and son of his former home with a babysitter and make a level of his chief of security. stalin was deep in grief off to his wife's death who was also his different his children were little at the time being a very busy person stalling could not afford to give them a lot of attention so he had to entrust the brief his kids to housekeeper carlina
5:44 pm
she was a well bred woman who was very fond of his children when both of them grew up and started school most of the responsibility for them also from me. the full version which he sank into solitude deep in his heart he was lonely even before that just like any person striving for power but after his wife's death he became a lonely in every sense of the word is no one could ever replace his wife stupid he went to bed later and later every night inviting people round to keep him company will be to deal. before his wife's death stylings in a circle is to visit him with their own wives but often that those little you have a past away it became a bed only affair. the large dining room in the conservatory house was the center of a famous night feasts. stalin made his guests dunce the dining room still as the gramophone
5:45 pm
presented to him by churchill and when stalin played the records of his favorite songs. he was taken there from the small dining room after the stroke. of. an improvised medical center was organized here with people were trying to figure out what to do with human activity by the third of march it was clear that his brain had suffered irreversible damage the most innocent. doctors came to stalin's bedside too late at least twelve hours had passed before the unconscious leader was found. when the guards reported that stalin was on his deathbed those closest to him were too afraid to go to his country home. minister was because i was the minister of state security sim yawning and that jeff was scared to enter when he arrived from the minister of state security someone that
5:46 pm
everyone in the country feared and was too afraid to come in i would imagine he would see stallin sick in his bed you know open his eyes look at him and say why are you here. one of the most sinister figures of stand in a circle turned out to be brave enough levante beriah he knew too well that all of his ministry of state security predisposes and ended up in front of a firing squad he also fell out of stalin's favor and was very likely to be arrested soon the supporters were also being prosecuted. because loads area was the one who understood the situation in the highest slums of power so he could not allow this to happen to moreover my grandfather told me of it very or had even close to it but it was him it was responsible for stalin's death barry used to say that he saved everyone from the repression by the unpredictable insane dictator. dictator the. area immediately realize
5:47 pm
just how serious stein's condition was but he bugged doctors from being called and left. the most dangerous thing was the fact that there was a trace among the people close to stalin it was very and he was inexperienced and coming in to me cleverly disguised his motives and stomach trusted him that was his big mistake barry had long been striving for our. resorted to all possible ways one could think of he was capable of and. it was not just barry but every one of stalin's associates who had reason to see his demise i just left molotov and i just does make a young one particularly fearful of the rest. terrified of conspiracy against him decided to completely restructure his circle and at the same time to intimidate the people of his country once again and does not yet seem yeah it is not all families
5:48 pm
friends colleagues hundreds of people could have been affected so now it is even how to imagine that it could really be the case i will be when he was given the list of we would all be enemies of true people but their wives me what i will he's already signed this and ordered them all to be shown how could a person be so cruel or. just left molotov the man who had signed the secret protocol on the division of europe with the nazis and further reason to hate the head of state stalin had sent his wife. to a goal and. himself was deprived of any real power preparations were already being made for his arrest while a tough grandson owes his own to stalin's death. to future both mullets oftentimes the same choosing were great at surviving really spear weapons when they saw the first signs that my grandmother was going to be arrested sued to come up with a plan it was actually they got divorced and passageways it was their only chance
5:49 pm
for survival wizards and the plan worked. that's how my mother stayed alive and gave birth to me. when you get it it's like many people surrounding stalin had motive for murdering him however some didn't have the courage while others lack the opportunity. stalin always replaced people as cabinet before they had the chance to have lost. the leader deprived himself of family friends and relatives he replaced them with a party member through the grace of. god but just as he died suddenly it seemed to them that he had opened his eyes and raised his hand so they kneeled down in fear of mediately they thought he would ask them why they had gathered at his bedside one of them about stalin had fallen victim to the very system he had filled in which everyone was mortally afraid of him will see including the people closest to him so. while still in teetered between life and
5:50 pm
death those around him were already dividing up. stalin for the inevitable for four days soviet leader was pronounced dead on march the fifth one nine hundred fifty three. on the kotori soaps this is the couch that stallin died on the villains didn't you mean there yet there were no the doctors asked to move them here and vats where he died to be nice to share with whom. by the end of his life stalin's children had become a disappointment to. his daughter's redolent i was married twice both were unsuccessful dahlan did not approve of either of husbands and she left for the united states and done it in a retirement home all of. this son vassily
5:51 pm
a drinking problem. his grandson alexander bodansky chose to take his mother's maiden rather than bearing that of the steel hearted servia to lead a. new one you know i can't say that i loved my brother we'll go i was afraid of him behold it was the greatest feeling i had towards. story and i hated it when he took us to some parts together with him or wanted us to do some sports. the father for most of the press that i never loved him as a loon he was often drunk yet i didn't understand it then when he was drunk he was a very difficult numbers lesson. which in general. vassily started was called the first soviet prince for a reason. at the age of twenty one he became an air force colonel commander of the military aviation regiment a twenty six he commanded the most district at twenty nine he was made left in
5:52 pm
a general. after his father's death and was stripped of his rank and towards a months later he was arrested and sentenced to eight years in jail. the once powerful soviet prince was hidden behind bars in solitary confinement under the false name of assyria. after serving his term he was sent into exile and. one year later he died. thank you for the shame which he years i couldn't forgive him many things i couldn't forgive him for what he done to my mother i couldn't forgive him the horrible childhood my sister and i had but i shall decide as i grow older. you know i feel very sorry for him but at the same figures he was a very talented person which was a cripple the life of. stalin died alone in a huge an empty house there was no one there safe for the servants and bodyguards.
5:53 pm
he had eliminated everyone who was loyal to him people who had helped him with the revolution and with his repression people who had gathered at his home for holidays . the pictures of children on his walls had been cut from magazines just as his own sons and daughter had been cut from his life. is in a circle became his family the course of a country house was his new gremlin. was new to use names to the good we don't know how it might feel to be installed in syria that many think about it but i think it's ridiculous to department because no one has ever found themselves in such a position to know even a single russian emperor. this is loneliness which is because this is the tragedy of zola jewish that. even though stalin lived for a short while after his stroke his inner circle had already betrayed him. historians believe that they deliberately prevented the doctors from attending to
5:54 pm
stunna. whether or not he could have recovered if help of being offered immediately remains a question no one can answer that. blue book with the sum up of bulletins to know if it is curious that there is an assumption that stalin's close associates from the central committee presidium and soviet leaders were criminals who could easily kill their chief that they don't need to warn you this is very interesting and no one doubted that. stalin's death put an end to the repression just a few days after his funeral the rehabilitation of stalin's victims began in the past sixty years more than ten million people have been rehabilitated. while many had been terrified under stalin rule there was still some left him. after being released from prison his former personal bodyguard nikolayev last week
