Actually, Stalin would be Orthodox, which doesn't have a Pope. He could become the Patriarch though; it is essentially the same position that the Pope has in Catholicism but in Orthodoxy.
Eli B Stalin didn’t “abolish” religion, but it wasn’t “secular” either. The USSR actively endorsed “scientific atheism” by funding the Militant Atheists and funding museums of atheism, etc. I agree that religious persecution in the USSR is not discussed honestly. Yes the Soviets seized their private property and (stolen) wealth. But they were Communists, ALL private property and wealth was outlawed and seized. Religious resistors were killed or jailed, but ALL resistors were killed or jailed. But you’re right, under the Imperial Monarchy, Russian Orthodox Christianity was the official religion, and heresy was brutally persecuted. Heretical literature was banned. Under Czar Alexander, a million Muslim Circassians were exterminated-men, women, and the boys. The young girls, faired a different kind of deprived violence.
Eli B Secular states are neutral on matters of religion. The USSR has a secular constitution, but in practice it actively promoted atheism. After WW2 Stalin drastically stoped promoting atheism and rehabilitated the Orthodox Church. So during this period, you might call it quasi-secular. But the State still maintained tight control.

The order to defend Stalingrad was given because of the strategic importance of the city on the Volga river, not because of its name, and Kirov was killed by Stalins enemies
Kirov was eliminated by Stalin himself (i.e on Stalin's Orders). Stalin was greatly jealous of Kirov's popularity and hence saw Kirov's death as a way to eliminate any threat, perceived or otherwise, to his absolute Power.
Stalingrad was not defended so viciously just because it bore Stalin's name. But because it was a strategic transit road from the Caucuses to the rest of the Union and the USSRs primary source of Oil. Germany just needed to be starved of oil, so they could not let them turn the tables by taking the caucuses. It simply was a very strategic position. Saying that it was defended viciously just in his name is just an uneducated revisionism of historical facts and documentation.
OZX7S You are completely correct, but I think that Stalingrad had more symbolic meaning to Hitler than to Stalin. Military historians say that Stalingrad was city no different from any other that Germans conquered earlier in their campaign, it could've been easily surrounded and cut of the Russian supplies and reinforcements and would have to surrender in a short time, but luckily for us, the good guys, Hitler had no clue in tactics and wanted to conquer the city, as I remember from documentaries, with air bombings and frontal assault... and that story ended in Berlin in 1945...
Драшко Дашић, Stalin did not care about Stalingrad as much as Hitler did, Hitler compared to Stalin... Hitler was an over-enthusiastic child, Stalin... a heartless monster, who feared no one.
Isn’t it crazy how many crazy dictators do not even come from the great country they led? Napoleon was from Corsica, Stalin was from Georgia, Adolf was from Austria... keep an eye on charismatic and influential foreigners, folks!
Corsica still is and was part of France also Georgia was part of Russia during all of Stalin's lifetime. And I wouldnt call Napoleon a crazy dictator but a monarch what he did helped France the wars he caused were mostly in defence or to maintain other nations to keep fighting Britain. He did do megalomaniac things like invading Spain though. I also even though stalin was evil it helped protect Russians from a bigger genocide since all of them would of been killed by Hitler.

As a fun fact, Stalin didn't drink vodka. He pretended to, but drinking water instead. You can find this in Shtemenkos biography, who discovered the trick, drinking from Stalin's jar when he wasn`t watching. During a dinner, Shtemenko wanted to know what kind of liquor (vodka, he wondered) he was mixing with his wine. But Stalin noticed what happened (perhaps because the position of the jar, perhaps because of Shtemenkos face) and, smiling, he whispered: "careful, it's a very strong drink". Stalin was an amazing actor.
@Not Monika U BETRAYERS! U DIDNT WIN IN THE STALINGRAD IN THE D-DAY U WENT TO THE ACADEMY TO LEARN HOW TO EAT BY FORKS U DID NOTHING! U WERE ALL TRAITORS DURING THE BEGGINING "Its all over"
I can personally recommend the book under further reading: Geoffrey Hosking's "Russia and the Russians". It's a great book, and as far as I can tell, very objective.
No. This is just a myth, that Stalin told to deffend Stalingrad at all costs. However, he said to protect the city at all costs. Because if they'd lose the city, Germany would get Caucasian oil, which is southern part of USSR, and Soviet oil industry would be destroyed. Which meant complete failure for USSR.
My favorite part of him was he was extremely ruthless, but a coward as well. I love history and he was by far my favorite to study when I did history classes.
@@benedek8259 Lol. You don't know history, do you? He was constantly afraid of being assassinated. He was afraid of Trotsky. He was scared of his generals being more powerful than him and that they would take control of him. He was afraid of Capitalism. He was afraid of free market. He was afraid of private property. He was afraid of nuclear bombs. He was afraid of USA. He was afraid of Hitler He was afraid of bugs He was afraid of boiling water. He was afraid of heights. He was afraid of darkness. He was afraid of peanuts. He was afraid of milk because he was lactose intolerant. He wad afraid of stroke.
He actually went farther with that than this video explains. As a teenager he attended the priest's school but his father kept taking him from there to work in a shoe factory (his father was a shoemaker and wanted him to follow his footsteps).

+Light What about modern American prisoners? Up to this date, private prisons keep using the penal labor in the same way, they even manage to earn good money on them, without paying anyone, its a huge industry in the USA, so how is it different? Well, I know the main difference is that in Soviet prisons were a lot higher rate of mortality, but hey, it was a long time ago and it was truly harsh times, there was no time to care about the well being of criminals.
Penal workers do get paid... just less than minimal wage. Doesn't make it much better but that way US prison system can claim it's not slavery... just in another name.

Hitler: Moscow is mine

Hahaha
@Iosif Stalin from 30 million soldiers 17 of them have been killed by wehrmacht
No stallin is georgian hold my wine
As a fun fact, Stalin didn't drink vodka. He pretended to, but drinking water instead. You can find this in Shtemenkos biography, who discovered the trick, drinking from Stalin's jar when he wasn`t watching. During a dinner, Shtemenko wanted to know what kind of liquor (vodka, he wondered) he was mixing with his wine. But Stalin noticed what happened (perhaps because the position of the jar, perhaps because of Shtemenkos face) and, smiling, he whispered: "careful, it's a very strong drink".
Stalin was an amazing actor.
Stalin: *exists*
Stalins father: *punishes him severely*

I can’t get enough of Simple History
Stalin greater than Roman empire and mob also defeated Hitler
Hitler, “I have an army.”
Stalin, “I have winter.”
f
Or you could say
Stalin, “I have an army with no winter equipment and they are poorly trained”
Mannerheim, ” I have winter.”
Spencer Faithfull
„WE have winter!“
I have winter clothing and tanks what do you have stalin
S S Or you could say: Finland, “Am I a joke to you?”
"No work?

Yes this is basically my parents at home
Lenin died when he was 53 years old for a brain stroke.
Stalin died after a brain stroke in the 1953.
COINCIDENCES??
Yes, coincidence. That's what a coincidence is, lol.

thx

This is true!
I can personally recommend the book under further reading: Geoffrey Hosking's "Russia and the Russians". It's a great book, and as far as I can tell, very objective.
No. This is just a myth, that Stalin told to deffend Stalingrad at all costs. However, he said to protect the city at all costs. Because if they'd lose the city, Germany would get Caucasian oil, which is southern part of USSR, and Soviet oil industry would be destroyed. Which meant complete failure for USSR.
Dimasik Ivanov the Germans actually could have just bypassed the city, the diverted needed resources to Stalingrad away from the causcaus

My favorite part of him was he was extremely ruthless, but a coward as well. I love history and he was by far my favorite to study when I did history classes.
What do you mean by coward?
@@benedek8259 Lol. You don't know history, do you?
He was constantly afraid of being assassinated.
He was afraid of Trotsky.
He was scared of his generals being more powerful than him and that they would take control of him.
He was afraid of Capitalism.
He was afraid of free market.
He was afraid of private property.
He was afraid of nuclear bombs.
He was afraid of USA.
He was afraid of Hitler
He was afraid of bugs
He was afraid of boiling water.
He was afraid of heights.
He was afraid of darkness.
He was afraid of peanuts.
He was afraid of milk because he was lactose intolerant.
He wad afraid of stroke.

I agree.
Very true.

No please no. Dont papa stalin please.
or Winston Churchill?
Coming soon
thanks! and one more suggestion: Mussolini?
King Gman good choice
thanks
that won't get demonetized (hopefully)
"And wanted him to become a Priest" HAHAHAHA
He actually went farther with that than this video explains. As a teenager he attended the priest's school but his father kept taking him from there to work in a shoe factory (his father was a shoemaker and wanted him to follow his footsteps).
"As Stalin created a cult of personality"
*Cue CM Punk's entrance music*
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
There’s a mistake at 4:54 . Stalin cannot die...
Stalin for the win ! Communism shall rise !

its currently 6 am and i have an essay today about stalin, simple history you just saved my grades.
Ridiculous that this got demonetized! All you're doing is teaching history, like, honestly your vids helped me in history last year. Keep up the good work, man.
Why is it demonetized??
there are many innacuracies which is why! The worst of which is "Stalin killed Kirov." A COMPLETLY baseless and made up claim.
So, I really love how you skipped the part where his very brutal nature lead to Europe being freed of the nazies, and also how you basically accused him of being the only culprit for the Cold War.
Freed from the Nazis, only to be enslaved by the Soviets.

In their defense... it's not easy.
Its Jugashvilli. But need to say, that on Georgian language - "Juga" means "steel" lika "Stal' " on Russian language.
So i can say, that Stalin just make his name more russian

Nice video
"Сталинград удерживали, потому что этот город носил имя Сталина"
Похоже автор этого видео изучал историю по методичкам Йозефа Геббельса
Да чего уж там, здесь кроме рассказа о его детстве и вступления в партию вообще ни слова правды
Но даже про детство и юность многое не рассказали
@@hanshansen2408 ну ролик пять минут длится, а детство по сравнению с остальной жизнью было не особо интересно. Но я рад что они хотя бы не начали рассказывать о том что в 9 он изнасиловал и расчленил свою собаку во имя сатаны
Axaxa это точно. Ограничились хотя бы тем, что назвали его параноиком и сумасшедшим несколько раз. У меня к нему неоднозначное отношение, но все же их Черчилль или Рузвельт по сравнению со Сталиным были никем.
Субтитры не правильно передали сообщение авторов;либо же вашы умения в английском языке лимитированы. Они иммели ввиду что Город был особенно важным для удержания,поскольку он носил имя Сталина, не только по этой причине.
Stalin was Mr.Stealyogirl in his 20s.
He was so handsome he would have been gay in today’s world. 😂

I literally have a mock A-level exam (year 13 exams in Britain) tomorrow on this period. It made a nice overview of the period under Stalin. Thank you for posting this.
Glad to assist! I hope this helps you get a good grade :)
We had our RS mock on monday.(I am currently in year 9).
Stalin is a way of thinking. He found Russia with a wooden plough and left it with nuclear weapons
He's real name is - ioseb jughashvili
In georgian -იოსებ ჯუღაშვილი.

I've seen like 4 Stalins in this comment section.
Wasn't Greorgy malenkov before Nikita kruechev
Yeh briefly
Malenkov was weak
Jed Diaz so was kruechev
He was the leader during the power struggle after Stalin's death.
Malenkov and khrushchev were locked in a power struggle. Malenkov never had full power over the soviet union

germany has camps
us has camps
ussr has gulag
at the same time
sorry but many people died in american camps... native americans and japaneese americans
+Light What about modern American prisoners? Up to this date, private prisons keep using the penal labor in the same way, they even manage to earn good money on them, without paying anyone, its a huge industry in the USA, so how is it different? Well, I know the main difference is that in Soviet prisons were a lot higher rate of mortality, but hey, it was a long time ago and it was truly harsh times, there was no time to care about the well being of criminals.
Penal workers do get paid... just less than minimal wage. Doesn't make it much better but that way US prison system can claim it's not slavery... just in another name.
