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 but it had a facility known only to top officials. this is the comfort 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 occasion. 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 or was someone else involved. he's

upstairs with our family home or it's not appropriate to talk about one's pride like that and i knew i was bright yes i raised so on and so forth look at events at least to the first case with theatre director alexander 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 if you. are full of it i can't understand how he can love any of. his life he's avoided mentioning stalin in relation to himself few people know that alexander is not just a theatre director he's also of joseph stalin's grandson. standing boom yet the boy yes there was stalin again but for me just feel like any ordinary

man he was on that court machine i had nothing to do with in the but on the whole and then when i saw him during the day in november grades i looked at him from the stance that he built i mean when you i only saw him close at the pillar hole of the house of the unions 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. 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's inner circle 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 they have given the order not to clean away the snow under the windows but you want to be able to see footprints as the windowsills were very. 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 a 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 sent 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 the decision it was to prove fatal. slept on different couch 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 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 there must or 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 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 floor. with you this is where he was found on this carpet between a table and the couch. 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 when a tyrant lives behind high walls there is always the feeling that his own circle might plot against him. stalin's worst fears of conspiracies and assassination may have come to pass with his sudden death they distrusted 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. for them one of the last it will stiffish will 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 blizzard could have 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 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 flat 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 not years 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 a tailless she failed to take his measurements as he flatly refused to say he did a new coat but we still managed to make him a new coat we changed it for a new one when the chance arose stalling pretended that he hadn't noticed the list of. elastic protected stella and was by his side for twenty years and of course he was deeply attached to style and risk of putting us. in the evenings when we were on vacation we always had dinners together with secretary description and stone and joseph's only 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 him. the diaries produced 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 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 implicitly even allowing him to look after his children. but then a great tragedy struck from which he would never recover.

good lover tory was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately. abound anything mission to teach the creation of life should care about humans and. this is why you should care only. if he.

visits the cemetery and every. such as. buried. the grave of stalin's wife and alexander's grandmother the dazed

a little you have is also here i was made to do you know the story of the monuments and juno why her hand is about position. deal with a very talented sculptor sadar made this monument. and that's how he depicted the hand of someone who takes their own life. on the night of november the ninth one thousand nine hundred 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 list and she knew what a blow it was going to be for him yet though most of said oh that's why she did it i think that he did have a sense of guilt will it may have blamed the circumstances on her nature. but he certainly did have a sense of indirect guilt with. 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. which well it's human not to blame oneself. he distanced himself from his children and moved to the conservatory residence leaving his daughter and son of his former home with a babysitter and make a level his chief of security. stalling was deep in grief after his wife's death who was also his different his children were little of the time being

a very busy person stallman could not afford to give them a lot of attention so he had to entrust the brief 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. a full region 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 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 is to visit him with their own wives but after a little you have a passed away it became a bet only affair. the large dining room in the conceive of country house was the center of the famous night feasts. stalin made his guests dunce the dining room

still as the gramophone presented to him by churchill and which 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 more than insult. 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 maggi if it 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 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 that 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. varia 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 of it very ahead 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 . the. area immediately realize just how serious stunts condition was but he bugged 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 beriah 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 doesn't 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 was 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 a tough grandson. to stalin's death. year of the future both mullets oftentimes the same choosing are great at surviving really spirit 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. 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 his cabinet before they had the chance to have lost. the leader deprived himself of family friends and relatives he replaced them with senior party members of the trade. 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 including the

people closest to him so. while still in teetered between life and death those around him were already dividing up. stalin for the inevitable for four days. it was pronounced dead on march the fifth one nine hundred fifty three. on the kotori so we have started this is the couch that stalinists died on the instant 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 daughters redolent 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. the 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 you know i cannot say that i loved my brother we'll go i was afraid of him who did it was the greatest feeling i had towards. that story and i hated it when he took us to some parts together with him or wanted us to do since it's. 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 sometimes pleasant man. which in general. 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. one year later he died. thank you to the shame which 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. but as i grow older. you know i feel very sorry for him at this issue because he was a very talented person which was a crippled life. style and died alone and it was huge

empty else 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 have 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. when you don't use names to the good we don't know how it must feel to be installed in syria 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 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 stun him. whether or not he could have recovered if help of being offered immediately remains a question no one can answer that. blue book witness some of that blizzard is true 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 the ritual knew 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 have been terrified under stalin truly there was still some left him. after

being released from prison his former 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 receiving any rewards an acknowledgement i was thrown into jail despite my endless devotion it threw me into the hands of enemies but never not a single minute in my life no matter what state i was in that i have a grudge against on. they've been living this way since the seventeenth century. their
