Famous Georgians in Soviet Politics. Joseph Stalin & All His Friends. Part 2

Famous Georgians in Soviet Politics. Joseph Stalin & All His Friends. Part 2

Yeah okay mhm so uh here is uh Joseph Stalin we call him yosf vov Stalin he was born in 18 1879 According to some other uh information 78 and YF Stalin was Georgian from a poor gean family um and he struggled all his youth to earn some money he was smart he

Entered the uh religious Orthodox Seminary but he left it because there was so many there was so much Injustice uh in Georgia of those times of his youth in uh the end of 19th century so he became a Bolshevik he eventually met lenon and he was in

Prisoned several times and was in the Exile he visited lenion and his comrades in the Europe and uh in 1917 he was um in the in in prison uh while the revolution started and he became first one of the editors of the Pravda magazine and then

He became one of the Ministers of the first Bolshevik government in 1917 and 1922 lenion uh had a stroke and Stalin became one of the leaders and lenion when Lenin died in 1924 Stalin became uh number one uh and uh after the and after the Civil War there was the main

Idea uh Civil War that followed the revolution Civil War uh yes that 198 1921 um lanan started his new economy politics that kind of uh permitted to have private property and commerce which was a bit uh which which alleviated somehow the life of a simple people uh

But Stalin when he came to power he had another idea he needed to regain all the territories that were lost during the Civil War in the first world war so the idea was to uh to have to have their territories back how to reconquer them how to with

The with the arms where do you get the arms they needed more factories how with what money uh selling uh the oil of those times which was grain which was cereals wheat that’s how the idea came to take all the wheat from The Peasants basically all the grains not just wheat

Everything they had everything they had but the most uh popular was uh and was with and when he became the dictator nobody could say no it was uh they say it started in 1929 when he had 50th anniversary and he was uh and he won in the

Party U rivalry with his EXC comrades with the with the comrades of Lenin and when he became the great Stalin or simply comrad Stalin without uh being officially without an official charge in the in the party that’s his quote we are 50 or 100 years behind the advanced countries we

Must take good these dist distances in 10 years either we don’t we don’t we do it or we shall be crushed as he thought because as as a true Bolshevik he thought that the main idea of of the existence of of those times was the um the progress industrialization and the

Main people were the workers uh the workers uh and the Bolsheviks hated peasants uh originally until 1900s The Peasants were part uh of the of the community of the peasant Community so-call op and only in 1900s after the prime minister’s talipan uh reforms they started to have some opportunities to become

Farmers some of them uh earned some money and they were called the rich peasants or the kulaks kulak is a feast in Russia so in the late 19 uh in 1920s the collective Farms were created but uh it was kind of a coming back to the community to AB but not many people

Wanted to join them liberally um deliberately especially the kolaks who earned their own money and by the way so unlike Misha’s family that come from like I would say intellectual class my my my well ancestors so to speak uh uh my mom’s bloodline and my father’s bloodline they were like you know

Actually you know cousins and workers and my grandmother’s father was a kolag and he was deul sized just like what Misha just about to tell you yeah isation was like kind of people were kulaks and they were turning into a simple um refugees people who were uh seeking

For for the mercy in the street uh and they were deprived of everything they were de proud they didn’t have civil rights and uh if they had luck they were sent to Exile if they did not have luck they were executed yes so this is the paint this is a picture of

Of an old 1920s poster with a bad coolock like go away from our collecting Farm my my grandma’s father was actually we don’t know anything about his whereabouts so he was probably was among those unlucky ones uh kulaks that must have been executed so there’s still nothing we know about him and these

These are the examples of the posters of those times like a good uh like like a good communist who was supposed to be the head of the collective Farm so-called Kos in Russia uh they said no place for kulaks in our society no place in our Council that means where to go

Doesn’t matter no to the Siberia not to the city of Siberia but somewhere else to to the TAA to Tundra to the places where they there were no life and not many people survived those who survived lived in the unhuman uh conditions that was Stalin’s idea that’s how uh the money was earned

Because their their their animals their land the grain were taken from the people why to send to the overseas to get the money to build the factories okay this is the another poster of those times on the left uh greedy capitalist with a top top head

And uh there is a disaster when and black crows and this is the um the Triumph of the enemy and on the right on the right place the new era of 192s when the worker when the proletarian uh could gain all the profit from his work and he became the real

Owner of the factory and a lot of of profit for everyone the pride of the petarian uh and the collectivization was the name where people were forced to join the collective farms and they didn’t have rights not to join them uh otherwise uh they were either imprisoned or kind of

Um enslaved because the uh po hosan or Collective Farm um dwellers they didn’t have normal civil rights as the workers for example because they even didn’t have passports until 1960s just just imagine from 1920s to 1960s people uh like the majority of the Soviet Union at those times about

80% didn’t have normal civil rights didn’t have passport didn’t have a right to migrate within the country so nobody actually gave them any choice whether they wanted or didn’t want to join the collective Farms they had to do that only because they needed money right here and right now because who who

They um the Stalin the police Stalin and and the biks that because that was the theory the theory was but they they needed it uh the idea was uh uh right they needed industrialization but not uh in like in a five-year plan or four-year plan let’s do a fiveyear plan in four

Years let’s do a four-year plan in three years all this all the time is like that yeah and as a result a famine uh arose just first just just a famine just a fine like that and though it was turned into the gamore gamore it wasn’t just a famine it was uh when

People didn’t have anything to eat they started to starve they have rebellions and the the most and the idea was to uh make people starve more where people had more rebellions more Rebels uh which was the the ma the major territory was the Ukraine it was Ukrainian socialist Soviet republics

Within the Soviet Union and according to different um data up to three million people were starved to death but it wasn’t just Ukraine o but it was the biggest territory and next slide I will show you also uh that uh that those are territories the darker

Uh that mean that more people died uh which is Central um which was Saratov uh um area where which is on the vulgar River where there were uh for example Germans German people German ethnicity and um there were people from Kadar who were just Russian Russian normally

Kaks kak like a sub ethnicity of Russians very free spirited very free spirited and also there were kazakhstani people who suffered and uh and of course they were just just just Russians who were against all that policy and they couldn’t but eventually they couldn’t um uh they couldn’t do anything with that

And 19 uh 1930s early 19 1931 1933 there were a lot of uh people that death from Hunger everything because because the money was taken to by Foreign specialist to build the factories to manufacture weapons to extend the territory so that more territory would have been Soviet and socialist just imagine the

Logic and let’s uh let’s go on uh apart from Hunger of course the was a system called Gulag Gulag it was a kind of archip archipelago uh of like a system of uh it was kind of a mixture of a of a prison and concentration camp well you remember

The salit in archipelag Gulag is exactly it was exactly about this he was one of the prisoners yeah he was one of the prisoners of yes and the idea was not only to imprison people but kind of uh to educate them re-educate them so that they would become the better Soviet

Citizens and uh that was a pretext uh but another thing was that people didn’t want to work for free and didn’t want to build anything uh so people were in prison for some false uh reasons like he said something bad about comrad Stalin or he had a private I don’t know k or

Something that must he must must be he’s he’s a he’s a burger Bourgeois boura and he must be in prison for that why just just because and uh they were building canals like from the White Sea to the Baltic Sea or they were building the hydro Electra station power stations or

Some or or some buildings or some Skys spray it doesn’t matter for example you probably know the famous uh tall skyscrapers with the nice stars in the center of Moscow some of them were they were built as a system of Gulag as well not only in Siberia not only in the

North it could could it could be can you see the the red um the red spots around Moscow here this is Moscow and around Moscow also there were Gulag there and uh some at the same time there were about 5 million people who were imprison at the

Same time in different gulak camps so this is Moscow then this is Leningrad St Petersburg so you also see there there were many gulags in the center of the country really in the capitals and this is my city where where I was born uh

Nova seers also which uh so as as we as there is a saying in the Soviet uh said Soviet language Soviet the saying the saying like a proverb like like a half of uh Soviet people were imprisoned some and half of people were U Were the were the not the prisoners were

The like they they were the security guards of them okay so the half of the country was basically prisoners and half of them would be the the well the guards in the prison the guard the guards yes okay that that was the the idea and uh

That was another thing of 19 early 1930s and Stalin personal cult uh started to be exceptional and total and totalitarian and it was a kind of a cult which was similar to the religious cult now some of the um some historians and some uh religious studies Specialists

Say that it was more like a sect uh with Gods Carl Mar Carl Marx and fredrich angles uh kind of their kind of living God lenion and His and their first prophet Stalin with apostles who were Trotsky troski was cancelled then K were canceled then they were and zinski and

Other bolik throughout the history of the Soviet times who were kind of Apostles and the history Mark the books of marks and lenon were like a Bible and blah blah blah and the the young Pioneers your Communists were like the the first communion uh and uh other analogies with the religious cult and

Don’t worry many of the names that Misha just mentioned we will be talking in details about these people okay these are the the main these were the the main comrades of uh of Stalin uh when Lenin was uh was Ill lenon had had three Strokes after the first stroke he

Couldn’t he he couldn’t administrate the country so these were the main people uh Stalin uh was the head of the General Secretary of the Pol of the bolik party and um he was kind of HR of all the people who were in charge of everything throughout the the Soviet Russia Trotsky was the

Head of the Red Army and um K was the head of Moscow Z was the head of Leningrad then it was petrograd bharin was the head of economy and ROV uh after lon’s death became the prime minister so they were very important people and uh

Stalin uh wasn’t the main one at the at the first time that’s him just in case you don’t recognize him and uh Stalin uh first started to have alliance with kov against trki trki gradually was fired then he had an alliance with bhari andov against K and

Zenov because he said um K zenov were two left ones they wanted total Revolution without a normal country and bhari and andri vice versa they were too right they wanted to give more civil rights more democracy so uh they were just the peak of the of the iceberg tip of the iceberg

Because every each of them they had their own team their own supporters so all of them um had their own uh problems within 19 20s and 1930s Serge K was one of the closest comrades of Stalin he was first he was the head of aeran and then his last

Eight years of his life since 1926 to 1934 he was the head of Leningrad and and uh the 1 of December of 1934 he was walking along smly the city hall of Leningrad and some men killed him with his gun the mat it was his uh acquaintance who was uh ex state

Official who was jealous uh because his wife had allegedly slept with kir so he so nikol killed kir and Stalin thought or thought or maybe he wanted to think that it was a plot so he started to interrogate a lot of people who knew nikol who knew people who knew Nik who

People who heard about nikol so like there were uh people who were tortured and all of them confessed that I was the one who ordered to kill kir and uh but but who told you to do it ah it was zv KV bharin ROV all those people

Who were mentioned in the previous slide so the the people that were interrogated by Stalin’s you know by sten’s people they were tortured to the condition they were ready to confess to anything and anything could be put in their mouths so anything they wanted to hear so so that

Was uh so these are the these are the the dates when they were executed K as a left wing they were executed one of the first B bov in 1938 and even troski was killed because he probably heard that story because a murderer was sent U from Spain uh to

Mexico to become to befriend troski and eventually to kill him uh because just Stalin was afraid of troski even when he was in mosow and and he was in Mexico and he had so great paranoia and when I when I tell about one was all of the famous not all like

90% of the great Bolsheviks of 191s 1920s if they were still alive in 1930s they were executed yeah and Stalin became the only one uh and that’s what I call the cult of Stalin and when um I talked in details about trosky uh on my uh collaboration with alga

And I shared that story and like his his living a little bit of Al his life in Mexico and his affair allegedly with Freda Caro and uh that was quite a story just fantastic how troski also managed to escape as well but as I said well K

Found him yes K found him and uh and if he had been dead he would have been brought back to life and killed again I’m pretty sure sorry in 19 1930s uh some of the Civil War uh Heroes became very popular and they were awarded with a new uh with a

New military rank called field Marshall and there were five of them uh Toki bu BL vov Andor so uh those who were more popular Toki bler and gorov were executed why because they were accused in bonapartism like they could have organized a Keta against Stalin because

They were popular in the Army while Vil and buoni didn’t have much in of an influence so they survived but there was no indication of that as well there was no indication but uh it was just of course the the beginning because the marshals generals Colonels sub kernels

So um every second uh uh officer was either executed or imprisoned uh so the the the most famous One the most capable ones uh just disappeared in 1937 193 eight um they were rehabilitated eventually in 1980s only uh that wasn’t enough for uh for Stalin uh we see tovi in blue here those

Marshals I mentioned but not only them uh a poet melam was in prison died in prison Mir theater director he was bolik bolik but he didn’t like the way the things were so he was killed in prison uh Nik vov academician Professor PhD world star of genetics was died in prison of

Hunger um Andre T and serge kov uh two great Constructor T was a Constructor of the uh ples uh and kov was a future uh creator of the of the rocket ships they were imprisoned and kov was beaten so badly then when he had um when

He when he had an operation uh in before 1960s he he didn’t survive because of his injury uh in the prison 1930s and some other people like Gori jonov was a famous actor he spent 18 years in prison in gulak and he survived but those who survived they lived a long life jonov

Lived 90 years for example and and so on and so forth it was just a small amount of examples so Stalin became so Stalin exterminated in intelligencia uh generals um and political leaders so he was number one but it wasn’t enough for him so he decided to

Divide Europe with who with his former enemy Hitler because originally he wanted to team up with Great Britain and France but Great Britain and France were not very happy about it so he decided to contact Hitler uh to talk about Poland and not only as we understand uh the idea was to

Divide Poland those parts who were um parts of belus and Ukraine before the Revolution uh were kind of occupied uh by the Soviet uh Red Army and those who were not part of Belarus and Ukraine were occupied by the Third Reich so Stalin was happy about it and

Uh so they they would be according to the pact they would be div displayed between the Soviet Russia and no they they did in 1939 1940 so yes so that was the idea and that was a that was a uh the officially the pack was about

Uh was about that the the both countries were not supposed to attack each other but the secret part was that they divided uh Europe uh the the the matter is as far as I read uh Stalin uh had his appetite uh bigger and bigger at first he said let’s start with Poland because

Poland why it’s not the Poland it’s Belarus and Ukraine and you and your part is Germany there is no Poland it’s okay okay let’s talk about some other countries and then he his fantasies uh reached even Bulgaria why Bulgaria well are kind of like Russians more or less the same characters the

Same religion why not and and and Hitler’s ambassadors say ah okay that that guy will never stop and that was one of the reasons why the Great Patriotic War like a Soviet part of the war started okay so the idea was like um Lithuania Latvia and Estonia also were part of the Russian

Empire but they got both independent in in during the Civil War in 198 uh more or less during that period because it wasn’t wasn’t in one day that’s why I say more or less uh but so was also there was an idea to reconquer them the first idea was uh guys Hitler

Is about to attack you we are going to protect you can we um can we come to protect with our uh with our Red Army well of course no problem and the AR the Army entered Lithuania lvia and Estonia said well now uh let’s organize elections and we

Think we believe that the bolik party will win at your parliaments how come they say uh because we we know we have a vision and of course in the during a year all those country were devoured by uh annexed by the Soviet Union and became three more Soviet Socialist

Republics um during the World War I they were Rec conquered in conquered once again um and uh that’s uh how and uh they considered all the three republics considered all the Soviet period as occupation and they were one of the first according along with Georgia who uh left the Soviet Union in 1991

Mhm so the next episode was a Soviet finish war or the white War the winter War uh on the left uh picture we see the red border was the Border uh before 1939 uh it was too close to Leningrad uh but and and Stalin wanted the border to be uh

Further from Leningrad because he said well Finland is about to attack us why just because Finland is a country more or less he didn’t have any reasons at all and he started his war and during his War more than 100,000 Soviet soldiers died just in vain but still Soviet Soviet Union was

Considerably stronger than a small Finland and the Border was uh uh here on the second picture uh after wber uh where there is where this border is now and this part is called the Leningrad region or St Petersburg region all all all here and we can see what what is the difference

Between the finish part and the reconquered Leningrad uh part the difference in the development in the infrastructure in the in the in the roads unfortunately it is like that until now but still Viber is a very nice let’s say International uh international town Anna took you there no I haven’t actually

Plan to you plan to uh but I might be though maybe yeah yes so we were kind of Soviet Finnish country a mixture City I’m sorry and that was uh also one of the episodes before the war and during the Polish period um when lots of people who didn’t want

To take part uh in the Soviet life in 1940 uh let say they were they were imprisoned and in 1940 it it was decided to execute uh the most rebellious of them and there were 22,000 people uh both uh military and civilians uh near the place called katin katin uh

And during the Soviet times the graves were found and it was told that no that was execution by the netes which is which is a lie now we know there were a lot of evidences uh Stalin wrote and uh his ally Beria wrote personally let’s execute all of them

Because they are too rebellious they will never be uh Soviet citizens they are too dangerous that’s it 22,000 people MH that was just the beginning uh so Stalin was happy he had uh part of Finland he had Lithuania Latvia Estonia he had part of Poland

Also I didn’t tell you but he had a part of um Future Part of Romania which now we call malavia mavia and he said okay we have everything settled with Hitler but Beria H he’s minister of secret police and many other people um sent him a lot of uh documents stating

That uh Hitler is about to attack and one of the last documents was uh uh written we see in 17 of June in 1941 four five days Days five days before The Invasion and Stalin writes here with a green uh pencil uh go to hell to put it mildly to put it mildly

With a with a With cursing like uh and send to the hell all the people who tell you this information as We Know know uh in five days Hitler uh crossed the border and attacked and the during the first week like tens of thousand people were killed uh and Stalin couldn’t believe it

And during the first week he spent it in his Dua in his summer house in the outskirts of Moscow so Molotov the Prime Minister was forced to announce the beginning of the war my uncle who is still alive he’s 90 years old he told me that he remembers it he lived in

Belarus and the our family lean family uh were supposed to move from the city of of the town of barisa uh to go somewhere to Russia not from belus and those who didn’t move were died in in Holocaust so a lot of uh a lot of relatives and Friends of course of my

Grandparents uh and my my uncle remembers it he lives now now he lives in in Israel uh so they were the result of Stalin’s disbelief or paranoia or self belief that everything would be fine but self deception self-deception so at some point um um beia the minister of secret police and other

Members of poit Bureau political Bureau convinced him to encourage people because people believed in Stalin there was a cult of Stalin as I told you and that was a GameChanger because Stalin didn’t leave Moscow he remained in Moscow all the almost all the the period of War we call it Great

Patriotic War which start started in June of 1941 and ended in May of 1945 because before that it wasn’t really a war people didn’t know about war anything at all it was prohibited to tell that would be a war as I told because Stalin didn’t want to tell you about

It uh so the history of the second world war is a long enormous story but I but I tell you that in 1943 there was the first victories and the idea was that um Stalin ordered to change the national anthem and the previous national anthem was the international you know the French song

For French revolutionaries marel yes marel yes no International oh International yes all the leftwing people sing it in their languages throughout it was the idea what it was the national anthem then because it was supposed to be a national anthem of of the whole world of the world Revolution but then

The idea was that there the wouldn’t be the World Revolution because there’s a war half of the the world supports Hitler so how come uh and now let’s have our own national anthem and one of the lyrics was like we were uh encou we were

M uh like we were inspired by Lenin but Stalin grew us uh raised us raised us St raised us and it was written in the national anthem so can you sing it yes um for then they changed then yes then they then they after Stalin’s death they took away all the

Lyrics at all in 1977 they rewrote the lyrics only about Leen then they changed the anthem in the year 1991 to a different to to to an Anthem without words different Melody and and then in the year 2000 the same Lyricist wrote changed the the the lyrics uh something

About the fraternity of Brotherly Love of our of our peoples of Russia of that things like that um but then it was about Stalin and of course some of the peoples uh of the USSR wait sorry some of the peoples of the USSR were um were at the

Territory uh of the former independent countries some some of them were deported to kazakistan to Siberia to the Far East so the idea was to uh the those people who had their mother land on uh outside USSR or on the occupied territories of Hitler or they were not

They were on occupied territories during the second world war and they kind of didn’t um re didn’t reject hitlerism explicitly according to Stalin or whatever there were 62 different peoples who were deprived uh the most famous ones Crimean tartar from the crimeia or chians from cha or Greeks or the ma the

Of course the major uh amount of people were ethnical Germans who were Soviet Soviet people they had been living in the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire for decades and centuries and they lived in the vulgar River they didn’t speak German they spoke German but they had like like for

Example them and they were you see cians malians bulgarians and and many many kavans and other other other people even Koreans even Koreans like Koreans were sent to usbekistan for example but eventually we know in 1930 1945 there was a pdam uh peace conference with Winston Churchill and G

Truman and Stalin and G Truman said by the way to stying that we started to uh we we’re going to use our atomic bomb uh on Japan uh Stalin said okay do whatever you want and next the same day he he rank to Beria uh who was his

Minister of the secret police and ber said of course I know from 1944 I know about that and Stalin uh had his all his all of his power all the Forgiveness after all the guls of the famine all the famine all the repressions he was the

Winner of the war but it was just the end of one war and the being beginning of Another War the Cold War the third world Cold War and the idea was that the second uh that um the war the world was the Europe was divided between the Soviet Union uh

And the West world uh Poland is Germany Czechoslovakia Hungary Romania Bulgaria became Like Satellites of the Soviet Union they became like people of the people’s democracy or communist or or socialist countries whatever you call it but they were under protection of Soviet Union uh but it wasn’t enough uh for for

Stalin uh so the idea was uh that he thought he wanted another country to become um another country to become a socialist country which was Israel so uh the Stalin was one of the biggest lobbyists of creation of Israel uh but Israel chose their capitalist way although they

Had Collective Farms kibuts so he said ah you have we should blame the Jews that’s how the Jews story started Jews are to blame I heard it somewhere Jews are to blame and he remembered about that story about an intiaz committee which was very popular during 1940s during the second

World war this is M theater director he and other members of intellectual uals intellectual Jews they visited foreign Millionaires and and opinion makers in the uh USA and this in Mexico and South America and wherever to ask for money for the arms for the for the

Planes uh and they raised a lot of money and they became very popular when the war was over there was still people uh like my grandparents my by the way my grandmother knew uh one of the poets Feer who was one of the members of the anti-nazi community they were like

Neighbors or something and they were said we need help we came home like my grandparents said there was no home because it was destroyed by the Nazis or we need work or we need I don’t know what and they tried to help not everyone and they became popular and some Russian

Ethnically Russian Soviet people say why do the H anti-nazi commune members help only the ethnical Jews why do not they help other people other ethnicities maybe they think the Jews are better than the different ones that was the beginning and said H let’s think about it Salomon Ms was

One of the most famous theater directors in the Soviet Union and then he became very famous as political activist so he in 1948 he was invited to Minsk uh to become the member uh of the jury of one of the theater competition uh and uh when he was

Leaving that competition he went he was invited toe to to the uh to some person who was a member of political Bureau of Belarus and he was killed then the then then he was put under the under the truck and it they imitated that it was a

Car it was an accident and oh was an accident and he was um uh and there was a Mourning in the Soviet Union how how come uh because he was very popular but the rest of the members of the anti-nazi committee were accused all of them like 12 people uh

Were accused or as an enemies of the stat as a Spies of Israel of Great Britain of the doesn’t matter what every time it’s it’s a Zionist plot or something like that that’s how that’s how the anti-semitic campaign started 1947 1948 1949 uh also so at the same time more or

Less golden mayor came to came to Moscow as an embassador of Israel and there was a a solemn reception where everybody came uh VL molto was a prime minister he came with his wife uh was uh field Marshall he came with his wife ecaterina ecaterina um and uh they came

To uh yerina and Palina were ethnically Jewish they were members of the bolik parties for like decades and they approached golden mayor and said the them in in hedish uh we are the daughters of the Jewish uh people and in the next month they were imprisoned why because they took part in the

Zionist blot something allegedly allegedly so can you imagine the wives of some of the first people okay second people in the country were were imprisoned and there was nothing their husbands occupying their High positions in the government there was nothing they could do the next episode was uh the same here

Andre danov was a member of political Bureau he was one of the main ideologist of the countries H the the Jewish doctor were taking care of him and I said well he he he must he must have a good rest there’s nothing wrong with him but he

Said well I have a heartache doesn’t matter and a uh um Russian eth ethnically Russian woman said no uh she said she was just a simple doctor not not a high rank doctor just a doctor she said well he he’s having a heart attack and in three days he

Died with with with with a treatment and the Stalin said well that’s strange and forgot about it but but in a couple of years uh uh it turned out that some other people died from the political Bureau died and they were tweeted by the the doctor Co coin and doctor with other

Jewish last names and then he took the uh evidence of that lady the UK uh the Doctor Who had thought that the joh heart attack and she was awarded with the order of lenon and all of them were imprisoned tortured they confessed that they took part in the doctor’s plot and

All the doctors who were Jewish or allegedly Jewish or they looked like Jewish or allegedly doctors or allegedly doctors uh they had very bad s because people didn’t want to go to clinic people were afraid that the Jewish people want to exter terminate Russian ethnically people in

1952 uh like all the Jewish people were under a threat so Stalin decided to save them he decided to deport them to the Far East to the city of ban which is near North Korea more or less something like that and they were supposed to be

Lost or they were not supposed to get the without problem just imagine with to to the Far East and uh he thought Let’s Lose onethird of all the Jews of all the Soviet Union the their issue is there there is no uh written evidence of that only the oral

Ones yeah it’s like something like Stalin asked can you make just one third of all the people disappear yeah and they invented kind of the Jewish autonomous Republic existed but it was very uh poorly populated so he wanted to populate the yeah now it still exist but

There is only 1% of the Jews now I think we are running out of time is oh really q& day okay but you haven’t really finished there is still so many more atrocities to talk about um okay let’s see what we can do about it I’m so sorry we get so carried away

With the Tres of Stalin regime uh but you know everybody just you know kept saying um he was effective manager thank you he was effective manager so was he an effective manager Micha who Stalin yes he was very effective but he was affected according to um if he wanted to preserve the bolic

Regime he was very effective oh yeah absolutely picking on gips again I see picking up piing on the Jun speaking Yeah of course this is very exciting to learn about the doctors everything would be pulled up on Jews yes the doctors yes uh that was kind of uh and that was just

Didn’t finish the idea there were more stories about that and the beia what do you think if we schedule for the next couple of days in the next day in the next few days the one more episode for you to finish all the fun stories of Stalin’s regime what

Do you think about it uh what do you think about it please let us know because um Mish has been working so hard on this presentation and I’ve heard what what he’s just been telling like for three or four times so we really need to

Know if you want to if we want us to finish with this atrocities and then next Sunday we’ll get down to culture and you know Arts the the you know whatever yes I want to go on with arts and but I’m not letting you but we can

But we cannot let can cannot leave you at the place where St is still alive and ber is still alive I wanted to to go on with Bera because Bera was wanted to um fix something yeah it’s interesting how he really wanted to fix many things that’s because was interesting story about beia

You thank you as I like the t-shir too okay so um we’re very sorry we definitely underestimated the how long all these stories because would would take that it makes Stalin Stalin unfortunately isn’t dead because there are still new monuments to him being erected in Russia

We are launching new series of history talks. This time, we’re exploring and analyzing the connections between Georgia & Russia, mainly the Soviet Union. Since ancient times, Georgians have been of great importance for the social life of Russia. But this was especially evident in the 20th century. Irakli Tsereteli and Nikolay Chkheidze were the leaders of the bourgeois revolution. Sergo Ordzhonikidze oversaw all heavy industry, while Lavrentiy Beria was the curator of the atomic project. Joseph Stalin participated in the division of Europe after the victory in World War II and Eduard Shevardnadze tried to establish peace with the West. Join Misha & me for a series of non-biased talks about the imoact of Georgia on histoiry of our country.
