Excellent!! Comrade Molotov was a great Communist --I never understood why Comrade Stalin distrusted him in the end Molotov defended Comrade Stalin until the end of his life
Hay digno orgullo militante aquí! Un pacificador, pese a todo y a la ingratitud arbitraria. Alguien capaz de ejercer autocrítica sin renunciar a la coherencia. 500 rublos para pagar el propio funeral!! Muy buen trabajo, Sres!
Such a biased description of the events of 1939. If the USSR was so eager for delaying a war why did it invade Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Romania? And to have the nerve to say that they signed treaties with the Baltic Countries for military bases when their ambassadors were summoned in the middle of the night saying that if they didn't sign they'll be rolled over by tanks anyways.
It is biased in this film, the way your Western version is voiced! The USSR did not invade Poland in 1939 at ALL! Western Ukraine and Western Belarus were illegally occupied by Poland, as a result of the Soviet-Polish War of 1919-1921. The League of Nations recognized these territories as Soviet, as did all states except the AXIS States (Germany, Italy, Japan). Poland and their Nazi-Pilsudski (By the way, he was a friend of Hitler) pursued a policy of genocide and forced conversion into Poles in these territories. As for Finland, there was no border agreement between the USSR and Finland (I hope you know that Russia gave Finland independence) But they did not agree on the border. Finland, on the other hand, absolutely did not want to hear the USSR's position at least a little bit and insisted on its own without the slightest concessions, and we needed to move the border away from Leningrad, the border began just outside the city. Leningrad (St. Petersburg) is not just a morally significant city, but also strategically important, as it had 1/4 of the defense industry. At the same time, the Soviet Union offered more land in exchange for this! And when diplomacy comes to a standstill, the guns start talking! Moreover, the Soviet Union has been at war with the AXIS Union country, Japan, since 1938. Maybe it will be a discovery for you, but it was in Europe that the Second World War began on September 1, 1939, and in Asia Japan started the war much earlier and there were hostilities between the Soviet Union and Japan!
@Илья Новиков As articulate as your arguments may seem to the untrained eye, they are nothing more than the same Russian mainstream historical clichés spouted over and over again on TV and in public schools over the last 15 years. Serious Russian historians were starting to admit in the 1990s and early 2000s that the Soviet Union was a co-agressor alongside Germany in 1939. Shortly afterwards however they either shifted dramatically their discourse for self-preservation or fled the country.
wow finally an honest documentary on a soviet leader, without any myths and thousand times repeated lies. Can't wait for one about Stalin.
Please make episodes about Kaganovich, Kalinin, Malenkov, etc.

Please make a video about Comrade Mikhail Kalinin...
Where are the English subtitles? I couldn't access any.
