the south stevie i'm named after joseph stalin which was meant for two hundred thousand spectators but three years later work was put on hold the facility disguised as a stadium was in fact already completed until one thousand nine hundred forty one another myth appeared there were rumors that the soviet government had abandoned moscow the offices in the kremlin were empty and that the city had been surrendered to the germans but the truth was that stalin never actually left moscow and continued working in the secret bunker here in his mind that. stalin always spoke quietly for this reason special acoustics were designed so that everyone sitting at this table could hear him in. the conference hall of the general headquarters looks more like a palace talents private chambers remain in

soviet defense industry was working at full capacity despite this the number of german military units at the border exceeded the soviet armies five fold this distribution of forces would have made a preemptive attack on germany unwise. the first days of the nazi invasion remain shrouded in mystery and yet it was one myth during the years that perestroika stalin had so much faith in his nonaggression pact with the soviet union that he was blind to the german threat and consequently failed in his own responsibility as the country's commander in chief. the myth that stalin was in a state of shock could be easily refuted recently declassified documents reveal stalin shed you for june twenty second one hundred forty one the day nazi germany invaded the u.s.s.r. . dallam's visitors people's commissar for foreign affairs moloto varietals by

myths about their future happy prosperous life according to the planned two cities were to be completely destroyed leningrad and moscow. the siege of leningrad lasted nine hundred days during which nearly six hundred thousand people died of starvation in recent years another myth has appeared that such human losses could have been avoided if the soviet command had surrendered the city to the nazis but anyone who says that has no idea of. hitler's master plan and the fate yet in store for the city and its residents. from the dire with the chief of the general staff from sculptor july eighth nine hundred forty one the jurors determined to raise moscow and leningrad to the ground to make sure that we don't have to feed their population went to these cities must be demolished by airstrikes this national catastrophe will not only wipe off the
