sixty years ago there was only one person who could ride out of the kremlin spassky tower gate in an armored sice one one five soviet limousine he had power that any emperor would envy. this car belongs to joseph stalin driving home from work was no simple affair for the leader stalin used to sit on a special converted seat protected by guards on each side he trusted no one. the soviet leader strictly instructed the driver which way to go in the car would often turn abruptly from the white when he was on to moscow side streets weaving along and confusing. who is ready to kill people and he did kill them and if he could do it he thought they could also act this way and that idea scared

him to death. stalin's limousine eventually reached a narrow and strictly guarded highway. many years ago nobody was allowed here local residents had no clue that it had a facility known only to top officials. this is the comes of a country house stalin's personal residence even though sixty years have passed since the death of the soviet leader his remains top secret filming has only been allowed here on rare occasions stalin spent his last twenty years and consider right up to his death. historians still puzzled over his mysterious demise did he die a natural death always someone else involved. he's upstairs with our family whole war it's not appropriate to talk about one's pride

like best and i knew i was bright i raised so on and so forth but it's at least to the first base. theater director. has frequently been offered the role of stalin and he's flatly refused every time. he prefers to work with the classics looking for parallels with the time of stalinism you know people. are full of it i can't understand how he can live any of. you know. all his life he's avoided mentioning stalin in relation to himself few people know that alexander is not just a theater director he's also a joseph stalin's grandson. stanton boom get the boy yes that was stolen from me just for like any ordinary man he was. i had nothing to do with in the but when i saw him during the day in november parades i looked at him from the

stands he built i mean when you saw him close at the pillar hole of the house of the union where he was lying in state. in march nine hundred fifty three of the soviet people been farewell to stalin for three days an endless stream of mourners came to see him lying in state. the first to shout claims that stalin had been murdered was his son by silly. stalin circle would not forget the outburst and would soon try to get rid of him. but before doing so a magnificent funeral was organized for the former leader. many died in the crusher's crowd lined up to see his coffin. a possible to express their grief. party and the people of our country are suffering. for many years the soviet people were led to believe that stalin had died in his kremlin apartment while his country house

remained a secret only stalin was aware of the circumstances around his death. the leaders descendants of only been able to come here after sixty years. alexander and step on mickey and have not seen 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. have you been here before many years ago. i've never been here my father used to be here quite often. showing them around stalin's residences historian tough he co-wrote a book about constable and knows the place like the back of his hand. you know. i

now understand why start in the had given the older not to clean away the snow under the windows but you want to be able to see footprints as the windowsills were very little but. there were no such instructions. well he could have merely said it well actually all his words were written down as a rule. let's start our tour let's begin with the small dining room the 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 and started love 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 a decision but was to prove fatal. slept on different couches he put a chair and a lamp next to the couch where he was going to sleep because he usually read a book before falling asleep but i would be. 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 body guards knew that their muster 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. bodyguards 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 did the officer on duty decide to take it to stalin. he found the soviet leader in the doorway of the next room lying unconscious on the floor. with you this is where he was found on this carpet between a table and the couch. that is still unclear what happened to me 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 never when a tyrant of such caliber dies and these kinds of assumptions are always made of them that when a tyrant lives behind high walls there is always the feeling that his own circle might be plotting 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 plastic 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. from one of the less it was deficient reason for the last six imprisonment was that he misbehaved and fooled around at the expense of the state the style and never blamed anyone for that he decided to get rid of him because vlasic had held office for too

long and had become unreliable you. would stand beside the leader during old 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 a secret diary of his time with 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 flat six unique record of the stalin era was classified just recently has it been made available to the general public. it's the only unofficial testimony of a man who had been with stalin old time. used to wear an old shabby coat while for his wife nine 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 didn't new coat we still managed to make him a new coat we changed it for a new one when the chance arose stall in pretended that he hadn't noticed the list . as a protected stallion and was by his side for twenty years 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 so one of its jokes a lot and shared his memories from his ponced he told us about his life in exile in the torah hans krege and 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. the diaries produce the impression that 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 of finally crafted by the leader who. 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 a propaganda poster but an illiterate bad spending time with his family. and the nine hundred thirty s. he trusted bless him implicitly even allowing him to look after his children. but then a great tragedy struck from which he would never recover. worse you. might have to give it to the radio guy for a minute. on what. to do because you've never seen anything like this on

call. visits the nobody ever she said a tree and must go every yeah i hear the soviet and russian elite such as nikolai gogol and boris yeltsin of buried. the grave of stalin's wife and alexander's

grandmother. is also here. i was you know the story of the monuments. hand is about position. deal with a very talented sculptor should make this monument. that's how he depicted the hound of someone who takes their own life. on the night of november ninth nine hundred thirty two stalin second wife elin we have shot herself after a fight with. stalin did not attempt to. appear and accountable to her 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 list and she knew what a blow it was going to be for him yet to most of that of that's why she did it i think that he did have a sense of guilt will you may have blamed the circumstances on her nature. but he certainly did have a sense of indirect guilt. the man who was said to have

a heart of steel hardened even more just a few years later the country was swept by 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 desert his death stalin would never marry again. well. he believed that she. put it down betrayed him. it's well it's human not to blame oneself. he distanced himself from his children and moved to the conserve accompany residence leaving his daughter and son of his former home with a babysitter and nica level his chief of security. stalling was deep in grief over 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 intrust feel brave his kids to housekeeper carlina 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 no one could ever replace his wife stupid he went to bed later and later every night inviting people round to keep him company to deal. before his wife's death stalin's in a circle used to visit him with their own wives but often of those of a passed away it became a bed only affair. the large dining room in the conceive of country house was the

center of a famous night feasts. stalin made his guests dunce the dining room still as the gramophone 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. when improvised medical center was organized here people were trying to figure out what to do with human dignity by the third of march it was clear that his brain had suffered irreversible damage. and suit. 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 bizarre was

this the minister of state security sim yawning was scared to enter when he arrived on the minister of state security someone that everyone in the country feared was too afraid to come in i would imagine he would see stallin sick in his own bed and his eyes look at him and say why are you here. one of the most sinister figures of stone and 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 stone in 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. moreover my grandfather told me that barrier had even close to that it was him it was responsible for stalin's death

there used to say that he saved everyone from the repression by the unpredictable insane dictator. or did the. area immediately realize just how serious condition was but he doctors from being called and left. the most dangerous thing was the fact that there was a traitor 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 power. 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. molotov and i just as 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 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 won't be when he was given the list to remove the enemies of three people but their wives me when i will he's already signed that list 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 gulag. himself was deprived of any real power preparations were already being made for his arrest while the tough grandson owes his own to stalin's death. to future both mullets oftentimes the same shoes in

a great at surviving really spear way but when they saw the first signs that my grandmother was going to be arrested suited to come up with a plan it was actually they got divorced and cossack ways it was their only chance for survival rates and the plan worked. that's how my mother stayed alive and gave birth to me. when you. many people surrounding stalin had motive for murdering him however some didn't have the courage while others like 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 of their greatest. 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 with stalin had fallen victim to the very system he had

filled in which everyone was mortally afraid of him including the people closest to him so. while still in teetered between life and death those around him were already dividing up. doll in for the inevitable for four days. it was pronounced dead on march the fifth one nine hundred fifty three. on the kotori soaps have started this is the couch that style and died on the instant you mean there they were no the doctors asked to move them here and vats where he died would be nice to share with whom. by the end of his life stalin's children had become a disappointment to. his daughters wedlock i was married twice both were unsuccessful dahlan did not approve of either of the husbands and she left for the

united states and died in a retirement home all alone. son vassily 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 no 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 you may hate it when he took us to some politics you get to with him or wanted us to do some sports. the father from us that's it i never loved him as a loon who was often drunk yet i didn't understand it then when he was drunk he was a very difficult numbers pleasant man. which in general. silly stuff it 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 a general. after his father's death and was stripped of his rank and awards a month 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 because. 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 now i feel very sorry for him but at the same figures he was a very talented person which with a crippled life. stalin died alone in

a huge an empty house there was no one there save for the servants and bodyguards. 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 close of a country house was his new gremlin. was new to these names to the good we don't know how it must feel to be installed in sirius with that many think about it but i think it's ridiculous to be made because no one has ever found themselves in such a position not even a single russian emperor this is learned as much because this is the tragedy of seoul the jewish state. even though stalin lived for

a short while after his stroke is in a circle had already betrayed him. historians believe that they deliberately prevented the doctors from attending to stun and. whether or not he could have recovered if help of being offered immediately remains a question no one can answer that. bluebook witness some up with bullet wounds to 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 i don't need to warn you this is very interesting and no one doubted it . 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 have been terrified under stalin's rule there was still some left him. after

being released from prison is full of personal bodyguard nikolayev lesser continue to write his diary. i was badly hurt by stalin after twenty five years of excellent work without making a single mistake receive junie rewards an acknowledgement i was thrown into jail just by my endless devotion he threw me into the homes of enemies but never not a single minutes in my life no matter what state i was in to have a grudge against all the.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada. china operations are on the day. let me let me i want to know what all let me ask you a question from. here on this network is what we're having a debate we have our knives out. to the previous this right to spank state nair's again here in a situation where being i don't agree to talk about the surveillance.
