historical russian empire, relations with parliamentarism were hostile vladimir ulyanov lev trotsky joseph stalinother leaders of the bolsheviks rejected parliaments as an extremely harmful trick. here, perhaps, is the most biting statement of the leader of the bolsheviks, lenin. on this subject, a quote. only scoundrels or fools can think that the proletariat must first win a majority, in voting carried out under the yoke of bourgeoisie under the yoke of wage slavery, and then must win power. this is the height of stupidity or hypocrisy. this is the replacement of the class struggle and the revolution with voting under the old system, under the old authorities in the state created by the bolsheviks formally ruled the vertical of the soviets from the supreme soviet of the ussr in moscow to the junior supreme soviets in the union republics and further to the village council. every village has real power. however, it belonged to the only party that existed in the country of the communist cpsu had its own parallel vertical of committees from the central committee in moscow to the central committee o

they worked under the watchful gaze of american president franklin roosevelt and soviet dictator joseph stalinchildren attended classes in a school unlike any other in nationalist or japanese controlled china, a school with a communist course of study. security forces cleaned their weapons, preparing for a possible attack, not by japanese soldiers, but their erstwhile nationalist allies, just as took place in 1927. [upbeat music continues] and who knew that revolutionaries enjoyed playing basketball? [music fades] [oscillating rumble] [soft music] during the 1930s and 1940s, the imperial japanese government ceaselessly turned out propaganda films, newsreels and feature films aimed at japanese, chinese and global audiences. their goal was to paint a picture of an imaginary world that never existed. it included documentaries about how wonderful life was in the mythical country of manchukuo, which in fact was the large area in northeast china, japan invaded in 1931.

more than half of the letter was devoted to the defense from criticism and glorification of joseph stalinor which , in particular, a falsified quote from churchill was used , in fact, not up to andreev, dragging the party, without compromising ideological principles and putting a hard limit on the further advancement of perestroika. gorbachev assessed the significance of the conservative challenge thrown to him and the possible consequences at his insistence of the politburo 2 days on march 23 and 24 discussed the letter of nina andreeva gorbachev was sharp and prepared to fight conspiracies, marshal dmitry was present at the discussion languages. future member of the infamous gkchp. subsequently, he recalled that among those gathered, many with him were opposed to the continuation of perestroika, but no one dared to openly object until the result of the discussion was, prepared by alexander yakovlev, an article on principles, perestroika, revolutionary thinking and actions, published in pravda on april 5 , 1988. andreeva's letter was decisive. rejected as a manifesto of anti-perestroika

in particular, i, the so-called legendary ascetic joseph stalin , did not deny himself anything eventhe 20 in the 1990s, he moved into luxurious residences in moscow, had several hundred bodyguards, a staff of servants and his own cooks. he collected autographs , for example, he collected paintings, by the way, with male pornography. he liked some cigarettes. he liked some expensive cognacs. alcoholic beverages from very distant countries , in turn, the monks of kiev-pechers and the kyiv monastery became famous thanks to the extreme modesty of its inhabitants. they learned about the elements of luxury here with the appearance of the priests of the moscow patriarchate . cold to him, whatever times there were morally improving monks, the russian church is rather such a corporation in which a very small number of priests believe in god, and all the others simply perform such a function instead of psychological olena shershneva, we examined the lifestyle of the chief communist and abbot of the lavra, the specialist considers these people addicted in all addictions , approximately the sam

situations occurred when emperors were taken and died, yes, and in general, the question of whether joseph stalinnot arranged to shorten his life, which then it was framed as a stroke in the 53rd year by his comrades in the central committee, yes, because there was also such a version that they could help stalin lose his sight , well, in any case, we understand that during the day he was lying in his own feces, this is already a historical fact without conspiracy. well, that's why we always try to watch certain processes so carefully. well, because , so to speak, paul the first was taken away by rebels led by his own son. well, here we would hope for something similar, but as they say , we'll live and see today's arrivals. in pop culture, we understand how in ukraine , hundreds of thousands of ukrainians simply clapped their hands, but the key story is how such actions affect the already not very strong psyche of russians, that is, they strengthen them in faith in their fury or vice versa, they begin to understand that war will come not just somewhere on the front line and in the frontline region

results of a recent poll showed that our citizens now consider peter the great, catherine ii, and joseph stalinia, more than half of the abandoned people voted precisely for the leaders of the nations that distinguish them, the strengthening of the imperial beginning and the expansion of the territory, so that's all in the word, here it is somewhere this is the consciousness of the russian person . the passion for the expansion of the territory lies in the fact that the expansion of the territory with all the fragility is mainly to the west, because the expansion of the territory of novostopy to the south is so. the expansion of the territory to the west is not popular - it is called the robbery of more developed and wealthier neighboring countries and and and and about the main figures of the e-e figures expressed very interestingly not so long ago when he said that as a result there are no non- politicians nothing and no one from who does not compete because it is very difficult to compete with the only recognized figures . and here you can compete only with peter the first or the lord god, t

the bottom, with each rung, less and less less, in particular , the so-called legendary ascetic joseph stalin not deny himself anything already in the 20s of the last century he drove into luxurious horoms in moscow, had several hundred bodyguards , a staff of servants and his own cooks, collected autographs , for example, he collected pictures, by the way, with male pornography, he liked some cigarettes there, he liked some expensive cognacs alcoholic beverages from very distant countries , in turn, the monks of kiev-pechers and the kyiv monastery became famous thanks to the extreme modesty of its inhabitants. they learned about the elements of luxury here with the appearance of the priests of the moscow patriarchate . the cold in the winter, at any time , monks lived there er, morally improving, the russian church is rather such a corporation in which a very small number of er priests believe in god, and all the others simply perform such a function together with psychological olena shershneva, we examined the way of life of the main communist and abbot of the lavra, the specialist consider

now they consider peter i , catherine ii and joseph stalin, more than half of the respondents voted forhe peoples. but a negative assessment of his rule is given only by a fifth of the survey participants, and the next in popularity. after stalin comes another general secretary. leonid brezhnev worst of all, our fellow citizens treat the reformers. boris yeltsin and mikhail gorbachev. they also head the list of rulers. hero i'm in the country about the swing, these so-called democracies, which we didn't really need, probably this year on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of his death. stalin , a lot of research has been published on how our people now relate to the leader of the peoples, sociologists record a trend. almost half of the survey participants relate to the leader. respectfully every fifth generalissimo handsome and only 8%, they say that they have a negative attitude towards stalin and more than half agree with the judgment that stalin was a great leader of steel stalin but one person gathered so many people raised an army to rethink the personality, the leader of t

but he arrives at the site where he's going to be meeting with winston churchill and with joseph stalin at, yalta. and we're standing in front, one of the most iconic photographs, not just of world war two, but arguably for all of 20th century history. the big three get together at. and what are the what are the issues, david, that the big issues that dominate this conference and maybe even talk a bit about how roosevelt wanted those issues to be resolved? well, i love this part of the exhibit, of course, because, you know, all seen these photographs and books and so forth. but when you see them blown up live sites like this, it really helps bring the story to life. and these are very powerful images throughout the exhibit and for me, walking through and knowing the details. it's really quite exciting for the americans. there are three essential goals at the conference. the first was orchestrating the final defeat germany. the second was ensuring that they could get soviet participation, the final defeat of japan or a declaration of war against japan and of course, particularly fdr, was

joseph stalin among the announcers the story of how his voice captivated.he leader was told in the floor of the voice now living witnesses, did not remain in the legend. it was the night when for the first time levitan is trusted to read the editor of the right text at the last moment and yesterday's trainee barely manages to run through his eyes at the same time. the radio was turned on in the stalinist office by the owner, who often worked at night in the european time, then the night, uh, stalin turned on the radio and heard. that a certain announcer with a fine voice, with a measured tempo, rhythm, and so on, is broadcasting the editorial of pravda, and he said, this is being read by a young announcer. yuri borisovich levitan, the leader, wants his report at the seventeenth congress of the vkpb to be read by this very announcer, the radio committee authorities are horrified. he is still quite a novice, but levitan does not try to argue at the microphone for more than four hours. the report was read out without a single error. so in 1934, twenty-year-old

on the table to joseph stalin gets. book here 96 versions of the hymn written by different poets and composers options. that is, there are 96 texts. stalin looked through everything and made a bookmark on page 83. here it is the first version of the anthem of the soviet union work on the text continued at the highest level stalin called sergei mikhalkov and asked to add one more verse to reflect the power of the country and faith in victory october 28, 1943 poets were invited to a personal meeting in the kremlin when did they tell us? ah, you are very arrogant, but comrade stalin stopped on your text the collection was lying on the table , they opened the page for us, on which there was a gasket and some remarks were made by stalin's hand. we had the option of free peoples. the noble union was a question. your honor, a question mark. great lenin was written on the side, and we were offered to fix it all next time. the anthem was corrected in 1956, more precisely, as they corrected, they removed all the words after the t

it is known that joseph stalin himself could not resist the charm of a young, then unknown actress inne of meetings. it’s just that in the dressing room we had a make-up artist verochka rodina and she says she’ll think only as with verochka - it’s good , stalin turned out when he saw her on the screen, he says , so where did they find this beauty and ours wrote it off in the list of applicants and so i got it. but this difference is not a fairy tale. in general, a third-year student nothing in life. made withdrew. the great film director did not receive the biggest award. what only we had a badge of distinction from the father of nations and 10,000 bonus rubles for the debutante in life vera vasilyeva will many amazing events, maybe that's why his book of memoirs. she named cinderella from chistye prudy. and who was your fairy? i consider fate. you understand, whose girl is in her third year at the theater school. nothing particularly distinguished family, which has no acquaintances either in the theater or in literary circles. this is the village of potato cabbage and go immediately,

one of the greatest constitutions written in the world is the soviet constitution written by joseph stalin it meant nothing. it was a genocidal dictatorship. everything in there meant nothing. how can i party that hates the constitution, that hates the limits that it places on their economic agenda, the political agenda and governing agenda. how can a party that trashes the independence of the supreme court, threaten supreme court justices. how can a party that not only wants to increase the number of democrats in the senate by hook or by crook by adding two more states get rid of the filibuster rule so they can impose their will? don't tell me they are standing for we the people. don't tell me that this is the party we count on to protect the vote. don't tell me that this is the party protecting documents and e-mails and texts when is the party of hillary clinton that destroyed 30,000 of them and was never charged with obstruction. don't tell me that these bombs believe in classified information when the jerk prosecutor in washington, d.c. has been leaking information related to classifie

over in his chair, but, you know, he's making twice i recently read that during world war two, joseph stalin had a research program to create supersoldiers by having women impregnated by gorillas. what a sick use of science. hey, as long as the baby's healthy. i wonder if stalin considered any other animals. hippos are the deadliest creature. a half-human, half-hippo soldier would be pretty badass. yes, but when they're hungry-hungry, you can stop them with marbles. yeah, the correct animal for interspecies supersolider is koala. you would wind up with an army so cute it couldn't be attacked. but half-man, half-owl could fly... the answer is cuddly soldiers with big flat noses. moving on. so, penny, when's the new job start? next monday. did you get a chance to look over the materials i gave you? uh, not yet, but i will. great. when? i said i'll get to it. i'm sensing awkwardness, am i right? yes. swish. i don't want to be pushy, but you've never done pharmaceutical sales before. it seems like you could use this time to get a head start. penny: well, the first few weeks will be all training.

he is the longest serving russian leader since joseph stalin and is still relatively young at age 70s old. this is a ruthless, cutthroat system. and i think a display of naked power is exactly what one would imagine putin going for in a moment like this. >> it's also worth noting that another top wagner official dmitry utkin was also on that plane and they also have perished. the wagner group has been responsible, for i guess you could call, some of russia's most meaningful successes on the battlefield in ukraine. so, i wonder what you think the implications are for that more broadly, and more specifically, the wagner group's existence? >> i think that really is an important question. at least in the initial aftermath of the abortive mutiny. ukrainians were obviously looking very closely at this. the pentagon was looking very closely at this and there was no overt sign that it caused any kind of problem on the ground for russians in the fighting the ukrainians in the counteroffensive. so, that is something to watch for. it is also interesting, and certainly not a coincidence, that it

i am telling you, abraham lincoln is growing in his grave, and the ghost of joseph stalin is dancing in the streets with what these weaponized prosecutors are doing to our political system. they did it to me, a democrat, john edwards, a democrat, did it tremendous, a democrat, it sounds like there is no criteria on which a prosecutor can ever go and prosecute an investigation, as long as somebody is -- that capitalist test on these matters. i find the conversation far more expansive, but let me just say when it comes to the rolling of the graves and the dancing in the street, i get the impression that the anger is directed at what happened lead up to january six, far more than just the notion of what is political speech. but, as you know, the criminal intent and ones mens rhea, as they say, is whether you intended to actually commit the crime, not whether you believe the underlying crime premise. it was not speaking to you. >> it's nice meeting you laura, thank you very much. >> up next everyone, the debate stage for republicans is growing. chris wallace is going to join me on that.

who is this comrade ivanov, this is joseph vissarion. stalin this is his pseudonym. yes, pseudonym.and zhukov also signed very interestingly. e was written. so it's signed. zhukov comrade yuryev citadel. the wehrmacht against kutuzov and rumyantsev of the red army was the name given to operations on opposite sides of the front. hitlerites. they tried to surround the soviet grouping of troops, but in the end they themselves were bent into an arc. at what cost this victory was given can be judged by the entries in the award lists , the title of heroes of the soviet union was received by 231 participants in the battle of kursk. each feat is described in detail in declassified documents , the wounded continued to lead against the enemy. destructive fire is not returned - repeatedly attempts by the germans to surround him and take him alive were unsuccessful. yes , it was goosebumps, because he exterminated up to 300 germans of german soldiers. the scheme for building german troops shows what forces went on the offensive. and what kind of reception did the red army prepare for the echelo

point, has served, has run russia for nearly as long as his nearest predecessor in this sense, joseph stalins example as a sort of guide, and we know that those kinds of paranoid leaders who ruled for terror mostly manage to reach their natural end in office. there's a possibility of a coup, but i think that possibility is less today than it was yesterday. >> what's it like to live in russia right now, to be a russian citizen in that country? >> well, clearly for some russian citizens, it's actually a sad day. we are seeing makeshift memorials all over the country, people bringing flowers, and let's not forget, prigozhin wasn't a man who staged an accidental insurrection against putin. he was a monster. he was an absolute just cannibalistic monster whose soldiers filmed themselves executing people that they considered traitors who are had his enemies, his perceived enemies, including journalist, poisoned and attacked all over russia. i mean, this is a man who had met his match in vladimir putin. and in some ways, he was certainly much more outwardly cruel. so the fact that thousands of russi

in fact, steve has written the most highly regarded biography piece of joseph stalin and so he is well-suited to this task. now to top up stephen john's conversation and to entice you to purchase your own copy of the book. after this event, i want to read part of the forward written by the author, josh heyman. our last disclaimer as regards this book being fiction based on a true story, i don't want to be too specific about what's real and what isn't. don't assume it's the crazy parts. the caspian sea fishing trip, for instance, or the club feud kidnaping that are made up. it was mostly the banal, technical stuff that seemed most likely to get people into trouble. those bits of borderline absurd ism and many others really happened. post-soviet russia was, he says, the wild, wild west of the east. well, i can tell you that i spent a lot of time in post-soviet russia and the wild, wild west. never thought of being that wild. and so let me turn it to john and steve. welcome, everybody. it's nice to see so many familiar faces, including familiar faces from russia in the 1990s. oh, we have two peo

greatest constitutions ever written in the world was the soviehe grt constitution, written by joseph stalin. it soviet consti meant nothing. it was a genocidal dictatorship . so everything in there meant nothing. how can a parterything nothiny that hates the constitution, that hates the limits that it placetution,s on their economic agenda, their political agenda, and their governin agendg? how can a party that trashesrt the independence of the supremed court threaten supreme court justices? how can a partenf the y that was to not only increase the number of democrats in the senate by hook or by crook, by adding two more states, get rid of the filibuster rule so they can impose their.don't don't tell me they're standing for we the people. t don't tell me that this is theye party we count on to protectt tl the vote. don't tell me that this is the t party protecting documentsotectg and emails and texts when it's the party o f hillary clinton that destroyed 30,000 of them and was never charged with obstructionf them a. don't tell me that these bums believe in classified information. and when t

reinforcements, to which he desperately resisted, the supreme command was also called joseph vissarionovich stalinand i'm talking about november of the forty-first year. and uh, and we know what followed after that, and sometimes there's a stand on this issue of reserves. this is not an indicator of weakness, but the key to victory. what do you think about the presence of strategic reserves and the ukrainian russian country? well you correctly described the situation of the forty-first year. but then it was somewhat different in general, both in terms of the ratio of the strength of the means and where the enemy was. u now yes, we have , uh, smaller forces are still involved. uh, on the defensive in this direction. that is, the enemy’s ratio is approximately somewhere in the e to 40.000. e fighters. before approaching, we had reinforcements somewhere in the region of 25-26.000. and now it is expected, as they say it is expected. uh, extra reinforcements on this line of defense, which will be behind our guys in case. eh, it's a breakthrough the enemy, because the main thing in this situation is to
