The Soviet Union was officially formed in 1922, a country, a political experiment, an ideal, a great scar across history…
Officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR was a one-party state, governed, controlled, and tormented by a single-party rule. That of the Communist Party. No nation has inflicted such destruction on its own population in the name of progress. Power corroded the leadership, leaving the masses to suffer in the name of history. The very people who were supposed to be governing themselves.
There are many factors that affected the Soviet Union’s turbulent history, but the sheer ungovernable vastness of the country was inescapable. It was a nation the size of a continent stretching from Moscow to Vladivostok and from Leningrad to Stalingrad. What we might consider European Russia was dwarfed by the reaches of Siberia. Enacting any kind of policy took force. Complicated, contradictory figureheads would come and go, men, who held this impossible country it seemed by sheer will. Stalin the despot-hero whose cruelty knew few bounds united a nation to defeat Hitler. Khrushchev the crafty libertarian, who preached reform yet allowed an arms race to escalate. Brezhnev, that unreadable member of the old guard, sent history backward. And of course, Gorbachev, who brought vast change, modernization, and détente, yet saw the Soviet Union collapse under his rule - the untenable nation.
Over many painful years, this vast country locked itself away from the rest of the world, paranoid, economically uncertain, and repressive, while still casting a vast shadow across the world. The 20th century was shaped by its convulsions, its purges, its wars, and its leaders.

    • Power was the purpose of socialism, specifically the power to make the masses toil and suffer for the enrichment and grandeur of the Bolsheviks. The proletariat was never meant to govern themselves. The Romanovs found the whole of Russia ungovernable through their archaic methods, but the Bolsheviks impose modern socialist methods of coercion, exploitation and terrorism to put an iron grip on the whole of their vast nation. In the process they crushed a young democracy under Kerensky, replacing it with a despotic socialist tyranny that crippled the Russian nation and set their political development back centuries. The United States, the great rival of the Bolshevik Empire, proved that a vast state could be rule democratically and for the goo of the common people. Instead the Bolshevik Empire, like all socialist regimes, was ruled for the goo of only a hereditary few. The dream for something better prove impossible for the Bolsheviks to kill, even as they starved the democratic soviets in their crib. Ultimately a kleptocracy of thieves became impossible to rule. Thus a great nation that had existed for centuries as a united whole fell to pieces due to Marxist socialist criminality, corruption and stupidity.

  • It's a little surprising the documentary doesn't mention the Miracle of the Vistula in 1920 - the battle in which Joseph Stalin was one of the commanders. The invading Red Army heading towards the West was stopped at the gates of Warsaw. There's no telling how much further they would have reached had they not been stopped there, for their original plans included going as far west as Italy. The name of the battle comes from the fact that a Polish communications officer forgot to cypher his message. The result was that the Polish battle plans got into the hands of the Red Army. For some reason their generals assumed, that it was an attempt to trick them. The Polish army was thus able to deal a defeating blow to the Red Army. The key battle took place on the 15th of August, the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, venerated as the Queen of Poland.

  • Pretty good documentary. But I wish these documentaries would look deeper into Stalin before the revolution outside of the normal things that are said. Before he was Stalin he was called Koba which for those who don't know is because he was the highest ranking member of the Georgian Mafia this is why Stalin never went after the criminal elements of the Vory (Russian Mafia) during his dictatorship. Stalin was basically the equivalent to what westeners would understand as a Mafia Godfather. He robbed banks and used union muscle to call for protests and strikes. Stalin nearly single handedly kept money in the Bolshevik coffers up until the revolution. He lived in lavish places. So when the opportunity to move into real political power outside of criminality he took it. This is how he was able to maneuver around the quote "smarter politicians". Stalin outsmarted them with street smarts and common sense something that the political dreamers and upper class socialists never saw coming. These things are rarely covered sine its the intellectuals that write about Stalin and they see him in exactly the same way his contemporaries saw him which was utterly misguided and wrong. It would be like John Gotti or Al Capone becoming Secretary of State in the USA and everyone brushing them off because they are just petty common folk and not a part of the political class. I'm not a communist but I find Stalin fascinating. He's basically the Russian version of Lucky Luciano except he came from being a mob boss to ruling half of the world before his death. He was more powerful than any Tsar or Caesar and ruled an Empire larger than Genghis Khan or the Romans. All while intellectuals take about how dumb and ignorant to politics Stalin was. From where I'm sitting he seems like the smarter politician than everyone else in the Bolshevik regime. His rise to power is actually fascinating but you really have to look at Russian post 1991 biographies to get a feel for who Stalin really was! Cheers!!!

    • Yup... In this video talk about the Communist Russians, as if these Russians were not Russians. That's confusing. The "Communist" Russians are Russians. They are as Russian, as the Russians of all Russia are equally Russian. These Russians did not come from underground, nor did they come from outer space. They are Russians of Russia and therefore, they do have every Right to claim the sovereignty of Russia. So, why call these Russians "Communists" or "Soviet"? They are RUSSIAN!

  • The assertion that the collectivization caused the hunger is wrong. Crop failures happened in the Russian Empire every few years due the harsh climate. Actually, the collectivization was the measure to use agricultural machinery, so to level up the productivity and to end the hunger problems. . The issue was, when the drought came, the grain reserves were already contracted for the export, so the possibility for help was not big. Still, where collectivization was in progress, the people got centralized food help from the state, whereas otherwise it was depending from the local authorities some of whom were unintended to help or just corrupt. . That's why some areas were struck by hunger, and their neighbor areas were not. But the authors are biased themselves, so don't mention this fact.

  • The Russian Revolution was the most succcessful Regime Change Operation ever. The German high command sought out poor Lenin in Zurich. He had been immersed in Karl Marx' ideology of communism. So they took Lenin, his books and gave him 5 Mio Goldmarks- and off on a train to Sankt Petersburg. The Operation was super successful and created the Sovietunion. So for all those who wonder who created the Soviet Union- it was not the Russians. It was the Germans based on a German ideology. But to understand complex systems and how they evolve one needs an intellect that can model such systems- and honestly very, very few can. :)

  • This movie is very important and came at the right time as it captures accurate historical facts. In Russia, all school history textbooks have recently been rewritten. In Ukraine they were rewritten even earlier, a few years after 2014. Russian textbooks now contain an alternative version of history that does not contain inconvenient and bloody truths that can in any way denigrate or cast a shadow on Russia today, challenge its greatness, power or special historical role in establishing justice in the world. For public reporting of many reliable facts is now criminalized. Therefore, in Russia today history as a science no longer exists, and the study of history as a hobby and volunteering in archaeological excavations of mass graves of victims of Stalinist repression is dangerous. A few years ago, a criminal case of pedophilia was fabricated against a scientist who was the organizer of such excavations. In Ukraine, after the beginning of the conflict in 2014 and the change of the country's course from pro-Russian to pro-Western, history textbooks were rewritten with an emphasis on the idea of Ukraine's existence as a full-fledged independent state since ancient times and the ancient Ukrainian nation with its own language and culture. Throughout history Russia is presented as a neighbor-aggressor state living with wars of conquest and constantly encroaching on the integrity of Ukraine and pursuing a policy of genocide of Ukrainians during the Soviet period, which is called the period of Soviet occupation. Therefore, a professional scientific view from the outside like this documentary is what can save history, prevent its distortion for the pursuit of certain political interests and give people the opportunity to learn the truth about their country, their origins and themselves. People should have the right to know these

This idea that all socialism is, is a planned economy is not only a lie, it's entirely outside of the realm anything socialism is attempting to do. Socialism recognizes that centrally planned economies don't work. Stalin purged his offices of dissenters after he inherited an agrarian empire to create a country in his own image, directly a contrarian to a democratically owned workplace. If you ask me, the way our economy runs today through lobbying and paid politics is closer to a centrally planned economy that the soviet economy had, the only difference is, instead of organizing raw materials into weapons of war, it's graduated, in peacetime, to insider trading, nepotism, and most importantly of all, class warfare. I mean really, when the Ruso-Ukrainian war began, the headlines called Russian leadership oligarchs, as if we don't have a small group of the wealthy elite, making a bi-partisan effort to buy America every four years.
