"People that can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities". Voltaire
Sounds like someone needs to be educated about trans rights
@@marcwood2741 how does this relate to transgender rights?
@@boxylemons7961he's probably talking about the fact that people have been made to believe that transgenderism is normal and are getting people to commit atrocities on themselves by mutilating their genitals.
It's absolutely a correct statement.
People who can make you believe conspiracy theories, can make you do other evil crap.
@@boxylemons7961 anti-fa/j crying about communist facts.
The NKVD and Beria were very evil, portrayed brilliantly in the movie Death of Stalin.
Great film!
US wasn’t also a “goody two shoes”! They did so many messed up stuff after WW2 and the biggest examples are The Korean and Vietnam wars!
that movie is just * chef kiss*
Well only the Russians didn't like that movie.
A little late, but my Russian neighbor and all his family and Russian friends love that movie.
Iceberg is such a cold name befitting the most sadistic security body of the Soviet Union.
A iceberg you say hmm
@@ivan5595how about I go “iceberg” on you with lots of lotions 🧴🏳️🌈😃💦
To add to this iceberg: NKVD and Gestapo/Nazis cooperated before the war. There was a knowledge exchange programme in place that resulted in them learning from one another on how to do their job, track people, interrogate and even kill. The idea of using gas to kill people came from that (you mentioned the trucks, Germany also used those initially but it was too inefficient and expensive when fuel was a strategic resource) also came from this. So the synergy of the two monsters made them stronger.
In general, there is a belief that if it wasn't for the fact that Hitler had Stalin and Stalin had Hitler (as allies), none of them would eventually decide on starting the war in Europe...
No wonder the Poles go insane when they hear people saying good stuff about either communism or facism. It's like mixing ammonia with bleach...
two sides to every story. The Red Army saved us from extermination.
@@sacWeapons the copium is strong with this one. If Barbarossa never happened, the red army couldn't care less about the world "extermination". I wouldn't even be suprised if the USSR would end up selling its Jewish population off given Stalinist antisemitism
@sacWeapons yea right, save you from death, just to put you under brutal tyrannical oppression. Some would say that's even worse.
I’ve even heard that the Soviets were just nazis with far less civility.
There was/is a few million people in Eastern Europe who would like a word with you.
Felix Dzerzhinsky. Founder of the Cheka. "Iron Felix"
How about smersh ?
A monster that even ate its own. Poetic justice.
Crazy that the Soviet Union collapsed in the 90s while North Korea still stands from 50s to 2020s.
If you want things to last, hand the management over to Asians
@rexlumontad5644 The Soviet Union was the first of its kind and as such had only itself and its slaves to support itself with, and it was very dedicated to the isolationism and xenophobia towards other nations that a true communist state usually has (that’s not to say they were true to many of the other principles of communism). North Korea was a pawn and a pet of two superpowers, both China and the Soviet Union, so they had the backing of the entire communist world behind them. Remove the support of the communist world, but leave several dozen nukes behind, add the fact that there’s nothing commercially valuable in North Korea (unlike certain natural resources in say, the Middle East) and the fact that North Korea isn’t actively trying to destabilize any other countries and establish other communist states (like the Soviet Union was), and you have a recipe for why no one has really put any effort into trying to destroy or conquer them. They’re also pretty darn good at brainwashing their people, and they’re right on China’s doorstep, so any attempt at the establishment of a non-communist state there would be taken as an act of aggression and war by China in the exact same way they did during the Korean War
It’s only standing due to China needing a buffer state from all the other democratic nations in the area.
Its not hard when you are a family of lunatic phychotics that got a firm hold on the military. And backup from a bunch of crooked authoritarian and communist countries with nukes to scare off someone from taking you out the history books
I’m sure a policy of three generations of punishment helps.
These guys were ruthless.
The two most important things to do when approaching any tragic loss of life is to find out how to exploit it to advance your goals or deny it if it hurts your agenda.
This was a great look into a deeply murderous and disturbed organization. These men were, truly monsters.
All monsters are human, and more humans have the potential to be monsters than most would like to admit. All they have to do is obey orders.
@@spudgunn8695---No argument there
@@spudgunn8695Are you willing to “obey” my orders all night long? 😉👨❤️💋👨🛏️
@@brokenbridge6316You ❤️ my 🍌--No argument there 🏳️🌈🥴
All the pictures of Beria where you can’t see his eyes due to those glasses make him seem even more soulless..
There was no loyalty amongst these beasts. They were all devoured by each other under the behest of the organisation they slaved for.
The USSR was a mafia state.
21:53 So basically they're HYDRA.
And I’m GAYDRA 🥴👨❤️💋👨🏳️🌈💦
Super interesting. Thanks.
There is something very unerving about an organisation that not only would arrest who they believe to be a perpatrator, but also arrested the immediate families of the accused as well for the crime of merely being related to them.
That's exactly what would happen in medieval Europe with the Inquisition. When someone was arrested for witchcraft or heresy their close relatives woukd nearly always be hauled on for torture and "trial" too
12:16 This shows that careerism and ambition, not ideology, was the motivation for this fine (hah) gentleman.
Fear and intimidation drives loyalty 😬
It drives paranoia and suspicion, not loyalty.
Our customer loyalty program - stay loyal and you won't be purged until tomorrow.
can we get an early life check on these guys?
Is it just me or is there some mistake with the names appearing on the screen ? Some names seems to appear twice, like of redens which appears at 10:40 and 11:54 (with different titles), but the name of the person after him doesn't show up
I can’t help but wonder when Raid will run its course.
Wrong name displayed @ 9:17
Most sadistic state security agency, and you don’t think Stasi?
If even half the stories are true, the Stasi would have the NKVD scared.
The Stasi were efficient, the KGB were sadists and perverts
Do you have a source ? Would love to read about it .
@@mercator5484 while it is a work of fiction , the German movie “The Lives of Others “ is a not too far off what happened. For more factual information, the channels “The Cold War” and “History Matters” have good videos about the Stasi.
I think Guatemala's Mano Blanca comes close in sadistic. they did the worst most disgusting things to women and children specifically. The worst part is, barely anybody knows about it due to its obscurity.
The Stasi were awful but they were from a very different era in communist tyranny, one that prioritized order, discipline, and a RELATIVE minimum of bloodshed in favor of paranoia and inciting distrust. The NKVD fielded entire divisions of troops and could gas troops, in addition to killing millions. The Stasi were in many ways a pale reflectio nof that.
Any news on the NKVD agents that flayed Andreu Nin during the Spanish Civil War?
Yeah I heard they flayed him during the Spanish civil war
Ceaucescu would be a neat-o video
They were far more ruthless than the Gestapo.
That's true. The Gestapo were angles in comparison.
Great video congrats. You need to watch satire Death of Stalin and I think it is appropriate ending for this video
The ordinary German citizen had much less to fear from the Gestapo than a Soviet citizen had from the NKVD. The N*zi police state is largely a myth (not denying any of the racial cleansing ofc)
Can kind of see why Churchill did not trust the Soviets.
He killed as many people through an engineered famine in India (the Bengal famine). He did to India what Stalin did to Ukraine
@@victor256in Well to be fair, Churchill and the British are famous for doing terrible things everywhere they go. Historically proven.
I know this is kinda cheating, but the founder of the original MGB, Felix Dzerzhinsky should probably be on this list. That guy was a stone killer.
No mention of the FSB, the KGB successor?
AKA Putin's unit
They have some morals, the kgb had none
@@CapraceraceWanna see my “Unit” HoneyBunz? 😉🍌🏳️🌈👨❤️💋👨
@@jonathanwilliams1065 that kinda goes out the window when you consider the war in ukraine.
The FSB is not the only successor organization to the KGB. There's the SVR, the FSO, and the GUSP. The last one is Putin's personal organization for "special tasks."
I'm surprised that Iron Felix wasn't on the list?
This is focusing on NKVD... Iron Felix was Cheka
@lukejohnston4666 he was. Other organizations were mentioned throughout the video, so I found it a little odd not to include him. It was one organization replacing another.
@@TheWedabest you are correct.
NKVD was called the Cheka under Felix Dezerzhinsky. Today it's called FSB, which the KGB's Putin was the head of.
His one of the deadliest islands are Artyom(pirallahi) in Baku. There are plenty skulls and skeletons here
What makes it dangerous?
@@theguybehindyou4762 lots of dead bodies. Writers artists and poetress actress sculptures.
@@leylayetmez It a dumping ground for bodies?
@@theguybehindyou4762 no its graveyard
I believe it was Gregory Malenkov who orchestrated Beria's demise.
After all, he was the big fat jolly brainiac of the five.
Seems to me it was more dangerous to be in the NKVD.
Nikolai Jesov, Felix Dersinsky etc z people
Beria did not create the Gulag system. That was created by Lenin more than a decade before Beria took control of an already well-established system of prison camps
Correct. The Solivetsky Islands prison in 1921 started the GULAG.
@@jeffclark7888 exactly right .. cannibal Island
@@LegalesePodcast Get “em.
Dmitry Yazov
These guys sound like the Sith.
The empire was heavily based on nazi and Soviet imagery.
I think they needed more vitamin D. They were simply mad.
You might be onto something…
Genrikh Yagoda.
Responsible for the deaths of millions.
J-wish
The communist cat thumbnail tho ,Man cats do be controlling everything
Most people know of the KGB if you're of a certain age.
You do not know why Beria was kilked by Khryszczowv?
The Soviet Union had the KGB..
That ain't nothing,..
The United States has the IRS 😢

Hey Geetsly’s, I recently started to make history and alternate history videos on RUclips and would really appreciate any advice/feedback you could give me
Beria and Stalin two Georgians have created the Soviet Union and gave nuclear weapons
Okay, that Комитет Государственной Безопасности pronunciation was butchered beyond belief.
The bottom half of the ice berg are almost all J E W S
The mafia are almost all Italian. Does that mean all Italians are mafia? The ones you refer to are a sect.
@@fazole You mean Sicilian. SOUTHERN Italian, VASTLY different from the North.
To remind you what to think of the ruzzians, they concider those guys as heroes
Music made it really hard to listen to what was being said
This is just an extension of Russian culture. It goes all the way back to the Oprichnik
NKVD is an organization straight out of an Stephen King novel with an Orwellian background
Judeo bolchevism NKVD until Stalin replace them with Slavic Russians.
Yughashvili didn't replace them with Slavic Russians.
If you believe that there is no god, and therefore no morals, you become capable of anything
Nonsense! You theists are capable of anything in the name of your god.
There seems to be a shared characteristic between most of the featured men; besides the bolshevism, its something about those surnames that indicate certain religious upbringings, can't quite place it, maybe it is just mere coincidence, who truly knows?
Do you mean they were predominantly J-s? Even though J-s were the minority in Russian territories
What exactly are you implying? A few names maybe but most were Russian.
It's amazing how a minority can hold as many positions of power as they do.
I think i would’ve liked to be a low level nkvd officer . Not high enough to get attention but still can tell others what to do. Sounds sweet . I’ll take my dacha too please
Multiple mistakes in this video.
Yea these guys were utter scum, but you know what gets me - people think the CIA are/were any different 😂😂
Not good, but they are better. Their goal is American interests and American defense, and they've killed a fraction of the number of their own citizens then the NKVD/KGB. The KGB controlled Stasi were considered every bit as bad as the SS, only more competent. Hell the US made its rocket scientists wealthy while the man who helped run the Soviet space program died due to injuries he sustained being tortured by the NKVD/KGB, and many who worked om their space program did so from research gulags
I agree, didn't even think of them assholes, your 100percent correct
what about usa ??
What about it?
Guys! Stop discussing these violent stuff and let’s just all make ❤️ together 😉👨❤️💋👨🌈💦💧
Beria wanted to dismantle the USSR right after Stalin's death. He also wasn't a sexual sadist and hated both Stalin and his methods. His portrait in this video if simply re-telling lies his comrades invented after his trial, like there was no one to help him overthrow the highest command - Zhukov wanted to start a coup earlier but Beria stopped him, believing in his good fortune. This was probably one of the most important decisions in the XX century.
Also during Beria's 100 days, he released over a million prisoners from Gulags.
Mostly members of the tribe
Well you can say it's a iceberg 🏔️
No they weren’t
Beria in particular was Georgian like Stalin
@@jonathanwilliams1065 they were
Look up what Stalin's name meant
@@ivan5595 it means steel
But that’s not his birth name
Just like the CIA
Far from it, pidor.
You can make the exact same video with the CIA :)
No, you cannot. Go figure.
@@shaiaheyes2c41 You're right. The CIA is far worst.
Great heroes who stooped to the darkest depths of humanity to keep the light of it's salvation bright!
Without their sacrifice of their humanity many innocent would either have to soil their hands with the same work or would have to face the oppressors that they kept away.
You are joking surely.
Human animals...excuse the oxymoron. This has nothing to do with 'Russian' but more so the levels that humanity can sink to. It is very, very low.
I mean sure but the fact that you don't portray any of their US equivalents (which were just as bad) says that you are just biased.
But that has nothing to do with this video. Why would he go off topic and talk about the US when the video is obviously about the Soviet Union? I think you are the one with the bias
If you want to see a video on the cia then ask for one instead of claiming bias.
Also be harder as most CIA agents stayed out American political conflicts and focused on stuff like coups and assassinations instead.
The US equivalents might have their problems but they don’t come close to the KGB
Goes onto a video that specifically talks about the Soviet Union and the nkvd and the fucked up shit they did
Proceeds to bitch and moan about the video not talking about the us of a
America has never been as bad as Russia. Russia is literally a level of hell, she's cursed.
