Stalin: Inside the Terror
# an intimate portrait of the greatest monster of the 20th century
π Overview:
This program is an overview of the life and career of Joseph Stalin. It concentrates on describing and attempting to explain the origins of the policy of βterrorβ instigated by Stalin as leader of the USSR. There are interviews with surviving family members and experts all of whom attempt some sort of personality βanalysisβ of the dictator to explain his behaviour and policies. Another question that is examined is, given his record of βterrorβ, why was he so popular? Why did so many Russians mourn his death in 1953? This could be an overview and introduction to a study of both Stalin and USSR in the post revolution period.
