Stalin, the Red Terror | Full documentary

Through the most important events of his time, we discover the legacy of terror and destruction that Stalin left to his people.
On 9 March 1953, Joseph Stalin died in Moscow. His funeral was the funeral of a demigod. The final irony of one of the worst criminals in 20th century history, who brought misery to his people while inspiring collective admiration. Millions of people died during his more than 30 years of absolute rule.
With Stalin's policies, living standards fell. The poverty of the early 1930s was evident on the streets of Moscow. In his labour re-education camps, better known as the Gulag, he imprisoned 18 million Russians, turning them into slaves. Machiavellian and paranoid, Stalin invented the impeachment process, where sentences were passed before the hearing began. He starved 7,000,000 peasants to death as punishment for rejecting his revolution. He deceived the whole world with false propaganda campaigns.
During World War II, Adolf Hitler intended to destroy Stalin. On 16 June 1941, three million soldiers attacked the USSR. The Nazis captured the city of Stalingrad, which was finally liberated by Russian troops in November 1942. In February 1943, the German forces surrendered. With this victory, Stalin became the first leader to defeat Hitler, which gave him international recognition.
