    6:53 the Cheka/OGPU in Russia came up with a list of who'd succeed Lenin after his death. Stalin was behind Rhykov, Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev and Bukharin I believe. Also Khrushchev managed to become First Secretary of the Party as Malenkov was forced to give it up due to the desire for collective leadership. Khrushchev also wasn't the only person to want to oust Beria and Malenkov was seen as too liberal, and as a result the Politburo and Government Stalinists (Molotov and Kaganovich) supported Khrushchev along with the moderates (Mikoyan and Bulganin) whom believed Malenkov was too radical. Plus, Khrushchev's agriculture campaign had begun in a year of record harvests, so despite the fact they had nothing to do with said record, Khrushchev gained support due to his agricultural policy

      Zhukov easily stole the show, but all of the Politburo members were pretty hilarious, without shying away from the fact that they were total monsters IRL.
      As for Beria, I loved when he was casually handing out execution orders at the start of the movie.

    From a historical perspective, Khrushchev is hard to pin down. It's reasonably common knowledge that Stalin and others used to make fun of and prank him. You would be forgiven for thinking that Khr was merely a play toy.
    But he not only won the post-Stalin power struggle, he did it so covertly that Lavrenti Beria never knew what hit him.

    Steve Buscemi has performed some outstanding roles. He was brilliant in Death of Stalin, even though Jason Isaacs had the greatest scenery-chewing lines. It was great to see him give props to Tarantino for ensuring that actors received name recognition.
    But the thing that impresses me the most about him is that, on 9/11, he went to the fire house where he worked previously as a firefighter, and suited up.

What is so upsetting to the current political regime in Russia that they feel the need to ban it from today's public? Are the characters depicted in this movie all heros and saints of the Soviet Union (including Stalin), not to be criticised or laughed at at all, especially in a foreign made film? Or what is the reasoning behind this censorship?

    • @АлександраБобкова-п4п
      @АлександраБобкова-п4п 6 лет назад +104

      I can try. Stalin is still very popular in Russia (for instance, there was a project "Name of Russia" on TV, its purpose was to elect the most notable personality in Russian history, Stalin came in third place). The culture minister Medinsky didn’t like the movie because of the “extremism”. That’s problematic, because it’s not clear what it is, anything could be extremism. Medinsky said that a lot of older people will see it as an insult to Soviet past. He saw it this way for sure. Also a bunch of Stalin’s fans are now presidential candidates (the election will be very soon, in two weeks). And they are very proud of their views. One of them said that Stalin was the best political leader of the 20th century. Yes, there were repressions, but my father had a chance to get an education and made some money. he said. Sadly, many people really think that country’s greatness is more important than people’s lives. So, to sum up, some Russian politicians can’t deal with satire and get offended real fast.

    • @armadspengler2717

      Александра Бобкова Thanks for the reply and the insights. As a German who has been confronted with the crimes of the Nazi dictatorship and the Communist regime in East Germany since his childhood, which was taught repeatedly in schools and discussed in the media, I find it simply appalling that Stalin and his regime are still so glorified in Russia. His only merit was to end the Nazi war of annihilation. However, this cannot mean that Stalin's illegal cleansing and mass murder of his own population, before and after the Second World War, is completely ignored and that this figure of contemporary history is so uncritically revered as an exemplary character. I am really concerned about the future of Europe and the world that the renewed cult about Stalin's leadership is not only being used and protected by Putin, but that the Russian people seem to continue to support this despite better knowledge.

And it's a confirmed fact that actual desires of the nation in USA bear statistically-negligent influence over creation of policies, no matter what group of public stooges is "in power", and don't make me start on Merkel & Steinmeier. Yet you all keen on believing any anti-Russia bullshit you hear. I myself is not a fan of Stalin or Bolshevics in general, mostly due to his "Socialism in one country" stance and their inability to build efficient or even sustainable state management system, but that Stalin dirt-smearing and Hitler-equating campaign is too ridiculous even for me. And so for many others, same with Putin. And Putin fucking sucks (actually, mostly Medvedev & his friends who suck the most) with his conservative, non-existent internal affairs policies.

      ArmAd Spengler The spoken reason was “mocking Stalin and Zhukov who won WW2 is unacceptable” and WW2 is kinda sacred now - but that’s some bullshit reasoning bc Stalin barely has screen time and Zhukov is depicted super handsome and hilarious in the movie. I’m sure 90% of politicians ranting about the movie didn’t see it but were told to hate it. Liking Stalin openly is unacceptable for Putin as he poses as a liberal (acceptable only for lesser figures) but low key sure he does like him for charisma and fear and power and empirical attitude. And the real reason behind ban is “no laughing at any government or people would realize it’s the same nowadays”. By the way we Russians and our parents and grandparents are traumatized enough by soviet censor ways so we know it’s good stuff if it gets banned. It’s a great movie (but maybe little more tragic and less funny for us but we don’t smile often anyways lol)

    He's such a wonderful actor! Since Fargo I've been a huge fan of him. His Khrushchev is such a... Khrushchev ))))
    p.s. the movie is truly brilliant, accurate and perfect. It's full of absurd, grotesque and terror. Perhaps, that's the actual reason why it's been ridiculously banned here, in Russia, - our officials might have seen a lot of resemblance and might have recognised themselves. There is a lot of tragic about this film, but there's nothing that could be described as insulting. As a viewer I'm infinitely grateful to Mr. Iannucci and each member of the cast for their work.
    p.p.s. It appeared on the Internet quite a few weeks ago, but it couldn't have been shown on TV - it's totally controlled. greetings from Russia. yep.

What is so upsetting to the current political regime in Russia that they feel the need to ban it from today's public? Are the characters depicted in this movie all heros and saints of the Soviet Union (including Stalin), not to be criticised or laughed at at all, especially in a foreign made film? Or what is the reasoning behind this censorship?

    Yeah he's a great actor, but the greatest thing he ever did was on 9/11. As I;ve heard the story, as a scuffling young actor he had worked as a NYC fireman. As soon as he figured out what was happening he rushed down to the fire station nearest to Ground Zero, walked in, and without introducing himself or asking anybody's permission grabbed a set of gear and climbed on the next outbound truck. For the next two weeks he came back every day and worked a shift. He didn't make a big deal of this or ask for any recognition or payment for his work. Somebody further down in this thread thanks him for his service to NYC without going into detail, I suppose this is the incident he was thinking of.
