70 years ago, Joseph Stalin died at his dacha. We present to you a program recorded in 2009. Every day, the largest country in the world woke up with his name on its lips. Every day, his name was heard on the radio, thundered in songs, looked out from the pages of all the newspapers. This name, like the greatest award, was awarded to factories, collective farms, streets and cities. Soldiers went to their deaths with his name. Stalingrad bled during the war, the earth turned into a scab filled with shells, but the city that bore his name was not surrendered to the enemy. During the political trials he organized, the victims, dying, glorified his name. And in the camps, where millions driven behind barbed wire turned back rivers, built cities beyond the Arctic Circle and died in the hundreds of thousands - they did all this under his portraits. Who was he for us? #Stalin #history #Radzinsky Subscribe to the channel! On May 15, 2023, Svetlana Astretsova's documentary film project "BULGAKOV.
