1
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,257
Siberia, 1917
2
00:00:56,625 --> 00:00:59,720
My father had been an exile to Siberia
for life.
3
00:01:00,284 --> 00:01:02,717
But history was changing his sentence.
4
00:01:05,863 --> 00:01:09,132
Russia was in its third year of a
bloody war against Germany.
5
00:01:09,865 --> 00:01:14,220
The Tsar had lost so many men that he
needed even his enemies to fight for him.
6
00:01:14,517 --> 00:01:17,076
But my father wasn't good enough.
7
00:01:19,885 --> 00:01:22,884
Josef Visarionovich Djugashvili,
age 38,
8
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:26,132
born in Gori in the province
of Georgia.
9
00:01:26,232 --> 00:01:29,140
Exiled to Siberia
10
00:01:29,175 --> 00:01:31,115
for revolutionary activities.
11
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:35,474
Nevertheless, subject to conscription
into the imperial army.
12
00:01:35,908 --> 00:01:38,621
Conscript has the following
deformities:
13
00:01:39,509 --> 00:01:41,513
Left arm
14
00:01:41,661 --> 00:01:43,661
two inches shorter than right arm.
15
00:01:43,966 --> 00:01:46,305
Possibly a congenital defect.
16
00:01:47,543 --> 00:01:49,602
Second and third toes of left foot:
17
00:01:50,345 --> 00:01:52,369
webbed and joined.
18
00:01:54,035 --> 00:01:56,099
The mark of the devil.
19
00:01:56,223 --> 00:01:57,772
Rejected!
20
00:02:12,482 --> 00:02:14,576
My father robbed banks to raise money
21
00:02:14,590 --> 00:02:16,780
for the outlawed Bolshevik Party.
22
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:20,050
His favorite alias was Koba.
23
00:02:24,636 --> 00:02:26,710
He hunted during the day and at night
24
00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:29,501
he played cards with cut-throats
and thieves.
25
00:02:35,686 --> 00:02:37,715
Our people were starving.
26
00:02:41,008 --> 00:02:43,102
They blamed the Tsar.
27
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:50,264
And he was forced to abdicate.
28
00:02:53,567 --> 00:02:56,466
The new government freed all
political prisoners.
29
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:03,848
And exiled revolutionaries like
my father were granted amnesty.
30
00:03:08,779 --> 00:03:11,817
The rich and the nobility fled.
31
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,204
Koba was going home.
32
00:03:18,205 --> 00:03:20,262
So was Lenin,
33
00:03:20,268 --> 00:03:25,318
the leader of the Bolshevik party
- my father's idol.

_________
40

Sergei!
43
00:04:35,538 --> 00:04:40,152
Most of the old friends were there -
like Sergei and Olga Alliluyev.
44
00:04:40,687 --> 00:04:43,055
Olga!
- Oh, such a long time.
45
00:04:43,768 --> 00:04:45,384
And... Nadya.
46
00:04:45,884 --> 00:04:47,758
Little Nadya!
47
00:04:49,084 --> 00:04:51,109
Hey! Why aren't you there with them?
48
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:53,172
I'll see him tomorrow.
49
00:04:53,207 --> 00:04:55,377
Nadya was to become my mother.
50
00:04:56,154 --> 00:04:58,805
Olga, what the... she's a woman!
51
00:04:59,015 --> 00:05:03,275
Not yet... Not Yet!
52
00:05:03,276 --> 00:05:07,508
Comrades! Soldiers, Workers, Sailors!
53
00:05:08,317 --> 00:05:12,053
I thank you
for the overthrowing the Tsar.
54
00:05:12,618 --> 00:05:17,540
But the Great War still continues.
55
00:05:18,292 --> 00:05:23,284
Did you overthrow the Tsar
to continue his bloody war?
56
00:05:23,647 --> 00:05:26,180
No-o-o!
57
00:05:27,048 --> 00:05:32,683
Did you overthrow the Tsar so
the peasants would remain landless?
58
00:05:32,838 --> 00:05:34,421
No-o-o!
59
00:05:34,422 --> 00:05:39,683
Did you overthrow the Tsar so
the workers and their families
60
00:05:39,684 --> 00:05:41,841
would continue to starve?
61
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,414
No-o-o!
62
00:05:43,814 --> 00:05:47,866
The people demand peace!
Now!
63
00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:51,801
The people demand bread.
Now!
64
00:05:51,932 --> 00:05:54,834
The people demand land.
Now!
65
00:05:55,482 --> 00:05:58,700
Towards the unfinished revolution!
66
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,605
The proletarian revolution!
67
00:06:03,340 --> 00:06:06,961
It took the Bolshevik six more months
to finish the revolution
68
00:06:06,962 --> 00:06:09,380
and set up the communist government.
69
00:06:09,509 --> 00:06:11,608
No-one was allowed to own anything.
70
00:06:15,297 --> 00:06:18,325
The Tsar and his family were executed.
71
00:06:19,157 --> 00:06:24,817
And a new war broke out.
Civil war.

Koba's favorite song.
Let's play that.
76
00:06:47,262 --> 00:06:48,949
You remember?
77
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,397
I've remembered everything
you've told me about him.
78
00:06:51,949 --> 00:06:55,705
And I remember how he saved my life
when I was drowning in the Black Sea.
79
00:06:55,794 --> 00:06:58,697
You were not drowning,
you were playing in the water...
80
00:06:59,197 --> 00:07:01,752
he waded in picked you up
and he brought you back to us.
81
00:07:01,753 --> 00:07:05,581
I was chocking water and he swam
to save me.
82
00:07:05,885 --> 00:07:10,393
You were three years old!
- I remember!

"Black Swallow. "
- Nadya's record.
85
00:07:22,672 --> 00:07:26,165
She's how old now?
- Seventeen. That dedicated.
86
00:07:26,166 --> 00:07:30,869
She could discuss theory with Lenin.
- That I like to hear.

Written by
Paul Monash
88
00:07:33,082 --> 00:07:37,410
So Koba...
- No... Stalin.
89
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:40,686
Stalin?
- My new name.
90
00:07:40,721 --> 00:07:43,816
Steel?
- Steel.
91
00:07:43,819 --> 00:07:47,212
But for you old friend,
and friends and comrades like you
92
00:07:47,213 --> 00:07:48,938
I'm always Koba.
93
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:54,237
To Stalin!
- No. To Lenin!

96
00:08:05,528 --> 00:08:08,663
Nadya became one of
Lenin's secretaries.
97
00:08:08,958 --> 00:08:11,395
A year later she joined Stalin
98
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:14,707
who was sent to the southern front.
99
00:08:20,685 --> 00:08:24,442
Just leave you take it to the
secretariat - was that your own idea?
100
00:08:24,542 --> 00:08:26,846
What did you say? What?
101
00:08:26,934 --> 00:08:31,673
With that civil war I said maybe
I could be more useful.
102
00:08:32,781 --> 00:08:36,057
Useful... ?
Useful... ?!
103
00:08:37,488 --> 00:08:41,178
Braided deep to Stalin.
For watching him,
104
00:08:41,781 --> 00:08:43,543
reporting on him?
105
00:08:43,544 --> 00:08:45,732
No, helping him.
106
00:08:46,363 --> 00:08:48,574
So, that is - Stalin needs help;
Stalin needs help
107
00:08:48,575 --> 00:08:50,824
from a nineteen-year-girl?
108
00:08:51,324 --> 00:08:54,008
To assist you, to take notes.
- Who for?
109
00:08:54,508 --> 00:08:57,766
Who taught you to watch Stalin?
Who?
110
00:08:58,743 --> 00:09:02,644
Was it Trotsky? Or Lenin?
111
00:09:33,164 --> 00:09:36,928
Nadya thought
Stalin was going to change Russia.
112
00:09:37,819 --> 00:09:40,341
She was right.
113
00:09:57,546 --> 00:10:03,320
Do you have a notebook? Not yet
- take this. And the pencil here.
114
00:10:05,449 --> 00:10:07,436
Ready?
- Yes.
115
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,186
Write!
116
00:10:12,936 --> 00:10:16,410
In this compartment Stalin told me
he would do anything and everything
117
00:10:16,411 --> 00:10:18,685
to stabilize the southern front.
118
00:10:18,686 --> 00:10:22,626
He would take measures -
stern measures.
119
00:10:23,126 --> 00:10:26,417
But... they said that you were only
to collect grain...
120
00:10:26,917 --> 00:10:29,488
not get involved
in military activities.
121
00:10:29,988 --> 00:10:33,539
Stalin does not obey orders
unless he agrees with them.
122
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:37,763
You always become the leader.
- Not always, not.
123
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:39,713
Yes!
124
00:10:41,048 --> 00:10:43,862
Always my father says.
125
00:10:45,105 --> 00:10:49,604
You want things your way
and you get them.
126
00:10:50,184 --> 00:10:52,556
What else does he say?
127
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:55,554
You're a hero.
128
00:10:55,769 --> 00:11:00,660
You organized daring robberies,
escapes from prisons.
129
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,190
You are a giant among pigmies.
130
00:11:05,947 --> 00:11:08,420
I am a small humble man,
the son of a cobbler
131
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,284
and an illiterate washer woman.
132
00:11:12,653 --> 00:11:19,022
The rose bud opens,
blue bows all around...
133
00:11:20,038 --> 00:11:27,008
The larch flew higher,
the nightingale sings so fine...
134
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:36,373
{ I was fifteen... }
135
00:12:02,459 --> 00:12:05,713
Look at you - an army commander!
136
00:12:06,701 --> 00:12:09,417
Look at you,
commissar of nationalities.
137
00:12:09,917 --> 00:12:12,081
Chosen by Lenin himself.
138
00:12:12,381 --> 00:12:14,782
Klim Voroshilov,
this is Nadya Alliluyeva,
139
00:12:15,282 --> 00:12:17,381
Sergei's daughter.
140
00:12:18,714 --> 00:12:21,777
You have your mother's eyes.
141
00:12:22,277 --> 00:12:25,431
A Bolshevik aristocrat, ha?!
142
00:12:32,512 --> 00:12:37,588
Filipov. Kavelenko. Tsarist officers.
- Yes.
143
00:12:37,668 --> 00:12:40,151
Do you trust them?
144
00:12:42,231 --> 00:12:46,556
Trotsky does, do you?
- Trotsky is a war commissar,
145
00:12:47,056 --> 00:12:50,281
and he's the commander
of the Red Army.
146
00:12:51,003 --> 00:12:53,712
You disagree with Trotsky or not?
147
00:12:54,212 --> 00:12:56,734
Not exactly!
148
00:12:56,779 --> 00:12:58,370
Good!
149
00:12:58,371 --> 00:13:00,596
Then you agree to the need
for vigilance?
150
00:13:01,096 --> 00:13:06,039
Yes, absolutely! Resolute vigilance!
151
00:13:06,373 --> 00:13:08,436
Here's a list of unreliable officers.
152
00:13:08,936 --> 00:13:11,794
I want them to be summoned here
immediately.
153
00:13:12,019 --> 00:13:17,493
Trotsky should be informed.
- Trotsky does not understand!
154
00:13:17,908 --> 00:13:20,118
We do.
155
00:13:31,792 --> 00:13:33,819
All the officers on your list
are here,
156
00:13:33,820 --> 00:13:35,980
as you requested, Koba!
157
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:39,346
Why? What's the reason?
158
00:13:39,381 --> 00:13:42,716
Because I fought for you, bastards!
159
00:13:43,982 --> 00:13:46,502
This barge was not sunk, Klim.
160
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:49,811
Be very careful.
161
00:13:49,946 --> 00:13:54,402
They'll all be lost.
Be very, very careful.
162
00:14:17,270 --> 00:14:22,076
"24 former Tsarist officers
suspected of treason
163
00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:23,867
have drowned...
164
00:14:23,868 --> 00:14:25,963
Unfortunate accident.
165
00:14:26,263 --> 00:14:30,428
Replacing them with reliable elements. "
166
00:14:30,795 --> 00:14:32,822
No, that's murder!
167
00:14:36,645 --> 00:14:41,709
Murder, murder...
He says - an accident.
168
00:14:42,314 --> 00:14:46,402
The officers were being held
on a barge, and the barge sank.
169
00:14:46,902 --> 00:14:51,460
And who put them on the barge?
Irreplaceable professional officers...
170
00:14:52,263 --> 00:14:54,309
And who killed them?
171
00:14:54,409 --> 00:14:55,920
Stalin!
172
00:14:56,901 --> 00:14:59,467
I demand his immediate recall!
173
00:15:00,197 --> 00:15:03,060
Stalin is a trusted comrade.
174
00:15:04,017 --> 00:15:06,734
Replace him, or I resign.
175
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,787
With Trotsky or Stalin.
176
00:15:11,788 --> 00:15:14,616
Trotsky or Stalin?
177
00:15:19,190 --> 00:15:23,935
You don't understand -
it must be Trotsky AND Stalin.
178
00:15:24,435 --> 00:15:26,528
We need you BOTH!
179
00:15:29,310 --> 00:15:31,396
Trotsky never forgave my father.
180
00:15:31,752 --> 00:15:34,514
They avoided each other. Even when
living in the Kremlin apartments
181
00:15:34,515 --> 00:15:36,622
with the rest of the party leaders.
182
00:15:36,623 --> 00:15:38,599
The Kremlin
April 1919
183
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,133
It was there
my parents celebrated their wedding.
184
00:15:42,434 --> 00:15:44,976
Look! You're still so young!
185
00:15:45,512 --> 00:15:48,138
You were younger than me
when you ran away with papa.
186
00:15:49,099 --> 00:15:51,876
So I was but you should've seen
your papa:
187
00:15:53,314 --> 00:15:58,219
He was so handsome!
An idealistic young revolutionary.
188
00:15:58,719 --> 00:16:02,175
Exactly like Koba.
189
00:16:02,176 --> 00:16:05,632
No, Koba's not like your papa.
190
00:16:08,866 --> 00:16:11,414
You think he's too old?
191
00:16:13,053 --> 00:16:17,256
He's a Georgian. I know Georgian men.
But you?!
192
00:16:17,756 --> 00:16:19,823
I know: you don't approve.
193
00:16:24,874 --> 00:16:27,749
But I want to be with him.
194
00:16:30,617 --> 00:16:33,941
Feel happy for me.
195
00:16:36,085 --> 00:16:38,060
For us.
196
00:16:38,090 --> 00:16:41,748
Nadya, Nadya. Nadenka.
197
00:16:42,248 --> 00:16:44,346
Koba is... here looking for you.
198
00:16:44,381 --> 00:16:47,565
She isn't that far away!
199
00:17:11,944 --> 00:17:15,224
Joy, eternal joy!
200
00:17:18,639 --> 00:17:20,715
So mashed, though.
201
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:24,041
Our revolution is so young
you both triumph.
202
00:17:24,042 --> 00:17:28,343
Nikolai, always an optimist.
- Yes, yes!
203
00:17:28,739 --> 00:17:30,873
An inclination to look on the brite
side of things...
204
00:17:31,373 --> 00:17:33,445
somethig you want I share.
205
00:17:36,157 --> 00:17:38,160
French champagne,
206
00:17:38,555 --> 00:17:40,830
liberated from prince Volkonsky cell.
207
00:17:40,831 --> 00:17:44,851
Nikolai, you do the honors!
- Gregory Zinoviev.
208
00:17:45,235 --> 00:17:46,823
Nadya.
- Grisha.
209
00:17:49,384 --> 00:17:54,024
Unfortunately we couldn't liberate
Volkonsky's crystal...
210
00:17:54,025 --> 00:17:55,600
Smashed!
211
00:17:58,576 --> 00:18:00,886
To life!
- To life!
212
00:18:16,772 --> 00:18:18,952
Where're you going?
- Trotsky...
213
00:18:19,478 --> 00:18:21,722
Kamenev and Zinoviev
were intellectuals.
214
00:18:22,222 --> 00:18:25,501
My father didn't have their education
or their manners.
215
00:18:25,824 --> 00:18:27,890
They looked down on him
and he knew it.
216
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:31,339
They were on Trotsky's side.
217
00:18:31,891 --> 00:18:34,275
Trotsky was the son
of a prosperous land owner
218
00:18:34,276 --> 00:18:36,545
who'd enjoyed all the
privileges of wealth
219
00:18:36,786 --> 00:18:38,809
and was looked upon
by many as Lenin's era -
220
00:18:39,095 --> 00:18:40,610
apparent.
221
00:18:45,022 --> 00:18:47,066
French novel?
222
00:18:47,714 --> 00:18:49,947
There's a better story
in Bucharin's apartment.
223
00:18:50,178 --> 00:18:53,752
"The mountaineer" and Nadya Alliluyeva
have got married.
224
00:18:54,856 --> 00:18:57,489
How was it you weren't invited?
225
00:18:58,736 --> 00:19:01,724
Anything else?
- No.
226
00:20:00,586 --> 00:20:02,683
Go right into the secretariat.
227
00:20:04,116 --> 00:20:06,576
Just the same,
you come to work tomorrow.
228
00:20:06,745 --> 00:20:08,769
The revolution demands it!
229
00:20:08,771 --> 00:20:13,077
She'll be there. But not early.
230
00:21:07,127 --> 00:21:10,827
The Kremlin
April 1922
231
00:21:12,558 --> 00:21:15,174
My mother was very much the new
soviet woman:
232
00:21:15,861 --> 00:21:18,541
she continued to work even after
she was pregnant.
233
00:21:19,667 --> 00:21:22,022
Comrades.
234
00:21:22,220 --> 00:21:24,804
Are you going to stop making history
because
235
00:21:24,805 --> 00:21:26,834
no-one is here to record it?
236
00:21:27,331 --> 00:21:30,582
Don't worry.
It won't be written anyway.
237
00:21:31,082 --> 00:21:34,602
Comrades, we have
an one-point agenda today:
238
00:21:35,102 --> 00:21:38,427
the secretariat -
how can we improve its work?
239
00:21:38,644 --> 00:21:40,591
What's wrong with its work?
240
00:21:40,592 --> 00:21:42,925
It's function is growing faster
than its structure.
241
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:46,490
It's the practical problem of
party organization:
242
00:21:46,567 --> 00:21:49,026
dues, assignment of
personal membership...
243
00:21:49,634 --> 00:21:52,715
its those that put devils on the secretariat
that have to deal with these things.
244
00:21:52,775 --> 00:21:54,873
All we have at ease
is on the Politburo.
245
00:21:54,874 --> 00:21:56,772
All we have to do is Think.
246
00:21:56,773 --> 00:22:01,522
I think we should assign one of
ourselves to the secretariat...
247
00:22:02,124 --> 00:22:03,736
As a...
248
00:22:03,826 --> 00:22:05,559
General Secretary.
249
00:22:06,458 --> 00:22:10,184
That way we have
a direct organizational link.
250
00:22:11,259 --> 00:22:13,967
What about you, comrade Trotsky?
251
00:22:14,344 --> 00:22:16,418
Don't settle me with that job.
252
00:22:16,875 --> 00:22:19,339
Settle a mule. Settle Stalin.
253
00:22:19,888 --> 00:22:23,210
Please, please! No personal remarks.
254
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:28,836
Comrade Zinoviev? Are you interested?
255
00:22:29,595 --> 00:22:31,597
I nominee Stalin.
- Stalin.
256
00:22:32,650 --> 00:22:35,014
Yes, Stalin.
257
00:22:35,015 --> 00:22:37,566
You accept, comrade Stalin?
258
00:22:37,978 --> 00:22:44,599
If no-one would do it, I would do it.
Yes. Thank you very much.
259
00:22:46,607 --> 00:22:50,277
May I change the subject, comrade Lenin?
- Please do!
260
00:22:50,312 --> 00:22:53,569
The wars are behind us,
we're in a new period now.
261
00:22:53,627 --> 00:22:55,796
The police are supposed
to be accountable.
262
00:22:55,818 --> 00:22:59,996
But they still do what they like;
they still terrorize people.
263
00:22:59,997 --> 00:23:03,432
True!
- I think comrade Bukharin is right.
264
00:23:03,811 --> 00:23:06,912
No brutality should be allowed.
265
00:23:07,221 --> 00:23:10,779
Although, there's
no revolution possible
266
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,311
without terror.
267
00:23:20,718 --> 00:23:23,120
What're you drawing there?
268
00:23:23,171 --> 00:23:25,249
A little drawing.
269
00:23:44,612 --> 00:23:46,683
They handed all this power, Sergo.
270
00:23:47,571 --> 00:23:49,940
Control of all the levers!
271
00:23:50,153 --> 00:23:53,140
They not even know what they're doing,
stupid bastards!
272
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:58,009
Trotsky: Trotsky turns it down,
273
00:23:58,509 --> 00:24:01,358
king of the Jews turns it down.
274
00:24:03,768 --> 00:24:06,679
You know what they've given me -
a reward for doing the job... ?
275
00:24:09,111 --> 00:24:11,667
A country house.
276
00:24:12,170 --> 00:24:15,388
You know who'd belonged to the house?
277
00:24:15,878 --> 00:24:18,968
Zuvalov.
- Zubalov?
278
00:24:19,168 --> 00:24:22,111
The bastard we organized
the strike against.
279
00:24:24,503 --> 00:24:26,954
And Trotsky turns it down...
280
00:24:32,209 --> 00:24:35,228
How is she?
She - all right?
281
00:24:35,728 --> 00:24:37,305
Men!
282
00:24:39,084 --> 00:24:41,871
How would you like to go back
to Georgia, Sergo?
283
00:24:44,777 --> 00:24:47,230
They knock a new hedge together.
- Whose?
284
00:24:47,231 --> 00:24:49,130
Some of our old friends down there...
285
00:24:49,131 --> 00:24:51,524
they're running the place
as though they own it.
286
00:24:51,724 --> 00:24:54,598
They need a real kick in their ass!
287
00:24:54,698 --> 00:24:57,571
So, will you go. You'll go.
288
00:24:58,776 --> 00:25:01,251
All you need - a good pair of boots.
289
00:25:01,647 --> 00:25:05,924
Feel there! Go ahead, feel it, nice!
290
00:25:06,712 --> 00:25:09,626
I could have been making these
if my father had his way.
291
00:25:09,926 --> 00:25:11,954
But was I nine.
292
00:25:11,961 --> 00:25:15,294
He took me down to Tbilisi
to make me work in a boot factory;
293
00:25:15,588 --> 00:25:17,959
wanted me to be a cobbler like him.
294
00:25:18,979 --> 00:25:22,262
I ran away, came home -
nine years old.
295
00:25:22,435 --> 00:25:26,092
He beat the shit out of me.
Beat the shit out of me.
296
00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:31,250
But! I've never made a boot
for anyone.
297
00:25:31,550 --> 00:25:34,623
No. I won.
298
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,141
And you know to wrest in them, Sergo?
299
00:25:38,563 --> 00:25:42,608
When you wear boots
you kick the man in their head.
300
00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:48,893
And you never find his teeth.
301
00:25:49,534 --> 00:25:54,261
Wear boots, Sergo. Wear boots.
302
00:26:10,770 --> 00:26:13,363
A healthy boy!
303
00:26:38,754 --> 00:26:40,821
There's a boy.
304
00:26:42,509 --> 00:26:47,499
Vasily. We'll call you Vasily.
305
00:26:52,222 --> 00:26:53,853
Koba! Where's Koba? Where's he?
306
00:26:53,854 --> 00:26:55,773
What is the matter?
307
00:26:55,774 --> 00:26:57,368
Koba!
308
00:26:59,184 --> 00:27:01,644
Koba! It's Lenin:
309
00:27:02,779 --> 00:27:05,343
Lenin has had a stroke.
310
00:27:22,264 --> 00:27:24,275
May I talk to him?
311
00:27:24,996 --> 00:27:28,263
Since when do you ask permission?
312
00:27:35,573 --> 00:27:37,108
Vladimir Ilyich!
313
00:27:37,109 --> 00:27:40,078
Who authorized you to send this telegraph?
- What?
314
00:27:40,897 --> 00:27:44,882
To Sergo Ordzhonikidze:
"Of the General Secretary"?
315
00:27:45,382 --> 00:27:47,588
Who's made the copy?
316
00:27:48,358 --> 00:27:50,406
"You will thoroughly punish
317
00:27:50,455 --> 00:27:54,436
the following members
of the Georgian central committee:... "
318
00:27:54,535 --> 00:27:56,635
Where did you get that?
319
00:27:56,636 --> 00:27:59,514
I know they got into an argument
but he slapped the man.
320
00:28:00,343 --> 00:28:02,356
A leading comrade - he struck him!
321
00:28:02,357 --> 00:28:04,358
The man insulted Sergo!
322
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,359
A party member does not strike
a party member!
323
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,793
It is not permissible!
324
00:28:13,278 --> 00:28:15,311
You're in pain?
325
00:28:15,312 --> 00:28:19,669
No-no, it's nothing. It's nothing.
326
00:28:20,457 --> 00:28:24,025
You will order Sergo to apologize.
327
00:28:24,060 --> 00:28:26,157
He's a Georgian. He... he's...
328
00:28:26,192 --> 00:28:28,730
I'm referring this
to the control commission!
329
00:28:29,230 --> 00:28:32,410
Who gave you this telegram? Who, who?
Who told you this?
330
00:28:32,445 --> 00:28:35,520
Just order Sergo to come back.
Immediately!
331
00:28:35,842 --> 00:28:37,874
Comrade...
- Immediately!
332
00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:40,465
What they are doing these boys?
333
00:28:40,965 --> 00:28:44,539
They want to turn you against me;
they want to split the party.
334
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:49,286
The doctors have told you to rest,
to remain calm, calm.
335
00:28:49,786 --> 00:28:52,787
Now why do they excite you,
these bastards, why?
336
00:28:53,287 --> 00:28:55,568
To kill you, that's the reason!
337
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,105
We will not allow this;
I've one aim, one mission:
338
00:29:01,179 --> 00:29:03,684
to get comrade Lenin back on his feet.
339
00:29:04,184 --> 00:29:06,495
And able to lead us again.
340
00:29:18,929 --> 00:29:21,455
I'll send for the doctors.
341
00:29:21,655 --> 00:29:23,830
The job nobody wanted put my father
342
00:29:23,831 --> 00:29:26,073
in charge
of the party security.
343
00:29:26,573 --> 00:29:32,099
He surrounded himself with ruthless men
and pecked for their loyalty to him.
344
00:29:33,114 --> 00:29:35,350
Kaganovich was one of them.
345
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:37,829
Natasha is at Lenin switch-board.
346
00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:40,030
We will know about everyone who calls.
347
00:29:40,031 --> 00:29:42,106
Who set this up?
- I myself!
348
00:29:42,107 --> 00:29:44,200
Who else knows about it?
- No-one.
349
00:29:44,548 --> 00:29:46,552
Make sure!
350
00:29:52,529 --> 00:29:56,311
You know Koba, while Lenin is ill...
- The country needs a leadership.
351
00:29:56,811 --> 00:29:58,920
And Trotsky, of course,
is ready to provide one.
352
00:29:59,294 --> 00:30:02,217
Lenin knows so, of course, and he will
never listen to anyone else's opinion.
353
00:30:02,218 --> 00:30:04,371
Yours especially!
- Not even ours.
354
00:30:05,825 --> 00:30:08,866
We have been thinking: until Lenin
can return...
355
00:30:08,901 --> 00:30:12,748
Restored health and vigorous, enabled
to deal with all our terrible problems...
356
00:30:13,133 --> 00:30:16,820
We could lead.
- In the spirit of Lenin, of course!
357
00:30:19,314 --> 00:30:23,580
We?
- Comrades Stalin, Kamenev and Zinoviev.
358
00:30:27,462 --> 00:30:30,428
How many legs does a stool have?
359
00:30:30,928 --> 00:30:33,726
Why?...
- Three.
360
00:30:36,432 --> 00:30:42,623
Because it cannot stand on one or two.
- Good, good! - Good!
361
00:30:50,832 --> 00:30:56,693
What are they plotting now?
- Let them take me for a fool.
362
00:31:20,189 --> 00:31:21,662
Trotsky!
363
00:31:21,663 --> 00:31:24,575
Comrade Trotsky, Lenin wants to see you.
- Good.
364
00:31:24,576 --> 00:31:27,911
He says you must turn against Stalin
before it is too late.
365
00:31:27,941 --> 00:31:33,204
You must help Lenin now!
- It's good. Tomorrow.
366
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:41,988
Where's he?
- He's not to be disturbed!
367
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:53,529
How're you doing?
368
00:31:53,530 --> 00:32:00,524
I'm just reading...
I'm reading my essays from 1903.
369
00:32:01,752 --> 00:32:04,119
They came out again.
370
00:32:04,660 --> 00:32:10,355
It's very interesting to see it now
how stupid we were at that time.
371
00:32:10,855 --> 00:32:13,150
Is those officials?
372
00:32:15,023 --> 00:32:19,976
Yes. I'm reading official reports.
373
00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:23,022
The doctors have...
374
00:32:23,057 --> 00:32:29,766
I'm responsible to you -
they're, too, won't you see?
375
00:32:29,801 --> 00:32:32,134
Organizationally - yes,
but medically...
376
00:32:33,289 --> 00:32:37,541
It's you they worry about.
They do not want you burdened.
377
00:32:37,576 --> 00:32:43,672
Burdened?
Is it a burden to reed newspapers?
378
00:32:44,278 --> 00:32:46,422
To even talk politics?
379
00:32:46,423 --> 00:32:47,965
A newspaper?
380
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:50,351
Yes. Real newspapers,
381
00:32:50,386 --> 00:32:53,271
not the kind you have printed for me:
382
00:32:53,829 --> 00:32:59,024
one single copy for Lenin,
single copies full of good news.
383
00:33:00,775 --> 00:33:04,453
What a waste of money
just to keep me out of politics!
384
00:33:04,488 --> 00:33:06,615
It's to help your recovery.
385
00:33:06,616 --> 00:33:11,629
No, to keep me out of politics.
- No.
386
00:33:12,129 --> 00:33:17,911
So, ... I'm not to know
what's going on in our country.
387
00:33:18,411 --> 00:33:21,437
I'm forbidden to read
our own newspapers.
388
00:33:21,747 --> 00:33:24,714
Let's comrade Lenin read
your fairy-tales.
389
00:33:24,749 --> 00:33:30,441
What nonsense, what Damn... nonsense!
390
00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:34,237
No, it�s to speed your recovery,
we need your recovery.
391
00:33:34,272 --> 00:33:38,805
We need comrade Lenin's leadership.
392
00:33:39,178 --> 00:33:42,756
How can comrade Lenin lead,
393
00:33:44,046 --> 00:33:48,099
if he's denied information?
394
00:33:53,273 --> 00:33:56,324
Politics... doctors ordered...
395
00:33:57,331 --> 00:33:59,354
Doctors orders?
396
00:33:59,761 --> 00:34:03,502
Not Stalin's orders?
- No.
397
00:34:03,503 --> 00:34:08,095
The situation in Georgia,
you are a Georgian, you... you...
398
00:34:09,929 --> 00:34:11,971
There's nothing to worry about...
we need your health.
399
00:34:12,006 --> 00:34:16,890
The re... rev... The rev... v-v-v...
400
00:34:27,521 --> 00:34:31,045
Why did you call Trotsky, you stupid
bitch! Didn't you think I would know?
401
00:34:31,545 --> 00:34:34,047
He's not to meet with Trotsky
or anybody!
402
00:34:34,082 --> 00:34:37,307
What're you trying to do,
to kill him? Bitch!
403
00:34:56,498 --> 00:35:00,353
January 21, 1924
404
00:35:24,149 --> 00:35:26,537
Lenin's dead!
405
00:35:33,625 --> 00:35:36,954
My father understood how much
the Russian soul craved the God.
406
00:35:37,456 --> 00:35:39,903
Now that religion was illegal,
407
00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:42,344
it was his idea to embalm Lenin
408
00:35:42,345 --> 00:35:46,181
and have him placed on
a permanent display in Red Square.
409
00:35:54,385 --> 00:35:57,283
Comrade Molotov,
where's comrade Trotsky?
410
00:35:57,672 --> 00:36:01,247
You were instructed to...
to find him and bring him here.
411
00:36:01,813 --> 00:36:03,701
What happened?
412
00:36:03,702 --> 00:36:06,646
I did reach him. I...
413
00:36:06,647 --> 00:36:10,064
I told him the funeral was yesterday.
414
00:36:10,517 --> 00:36:12,915
He was too far away to make it
yesterday.
415
00:36:13,638 --> 00:36:15,898
You lied to him, why?
416
00:36:17,407 --> 00:36:19,396
You told me.
417
00:36:19,397 --> 00:36:22,283
You didn't want to have him here.
418
00:36:22,671 --> 00:36:26,271
You were to admit that to no-one -
true or false?
419
00:36:26,306 --> 00:36:27,732
True.
420
00:36:27,734 --> 00:36:30,838
Then why are you telling it to me?
421
00:36:32,850 --> 00:36:35,606
You're a real idiot, Molotov.
422
00:36:36,978 --> 00:36:39,806
You will go far...
423
00:37:01,810 --> 00:37:03,849
Leaving us,
424
00:37:05,784 --> 00:37:08,053
comrade Lenin has ordered us to
425
00:37:08,054 --> 00:37:10,676
hold high and keep pure...
426
00:37:13,469 --> 00:37:15,804
the great calling of our party.
427
00:37:17,651 --> 00:37:21,450
Leaving us,
comrade Lenin is enjoining those
428
00:37:21,485 --> 00:37:25,901
who keep the unity of our party!
429
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,284
Together we vow
430
00:37:30,285 --> 00:37:34,194
to keep the honorable commandment,
comrade Lenin!
431
00:37:46,528 --> 00:37:48,601
We had an argument this morning.
432
00:37:48,602 --> 00:37:51,159
About what?
- Nikolai.
433
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,057
Bukharin? But he likes Bukharin?!
434
00:37:54,058 --> 00:37:56,510
Nikolai offered me a job
on a new publication:
435
00:37:56,545 --> 00:37:58,462
"Revolution and culture. "
436
00:37:58,463 --> 00:38:01,226
Josef says: "The next thing would be
spending all your time
437
00:38:01,261 --> 00:38:05,095
with Bukharin's bunch of bohemians,
useless poets, artists. "
438
00:38:05,388 --> 00:38:08,893
And you said they're not useless.
- I said they're far from useless.
439
00:38:08,946 --> 00:38:11,840
That the revolution needs culture.
- Exactly.
440
00:38:12,733 --> 00:38:16,082
Then I put my arms around him
and then he apologized.
441
00:38:16,117 --> 00:38:18,260
Then you made love?
442
00:38:22,092 --> 00:38:25,623
It's this so terrible business of
Lenin's death.
443
00:38:26,882 --> 00:38:29,607
What's going to happen now,
who's going to lead?
444
00:38:31,284 --> 00:38:34,592
Josef says there's sneaking
behind his back, conspiring...
445
00:38:34,942 --> 00:38:36,947
Who?
446
00:38:37,043 --> 00:38:39,362
I'm to get started, Zina.
447
00:39:11,690 --> 00:39:13,212
Da.
448
00:39:18,636 --> 00:39:20,175
Da!
449
00:39:36,913 --> 00:39:38,978
Beautiful flowers.
450
00:39:41,110 --> 00:39:43,144
Their life is too short.
451
00:39:44,564 --> 00:39:46,639
What is it?
452
00:39:47,137 --> 00:39:51,584
The telephone called - another letter...
- What letter?
453
00:39:52,084 --> 00:39:54,652
A letter, that Lenin sent
to the central committee
454
00:39:54,687 --> 00:39:58,021
to be opened after his death.
455
00:39:58,167 --> 00:40:00,210
What does it say?
456
00:40:00,307 --> 00:40:02,125
You know nothing about?
457
00:40:02,126 --> 00:40:03,373
No, nothing.
458
00:40:03,374 --> 00:40:05,917
You worked to Lenin.
You were close to him.
459
00:40:06,471 --> 00:40:08,567
You heard no-one talking about it?
460
00:40:08,568 --> 00:40:10,051
No.
461
00:40:10,152 --> 00:40:12,219
You, sneak!
462
00:40:13,891 --> 00:40:16,728
I know nothing about it.
463
00:40:17,605 --> 00:40:19,192
Josef!
464
00:40:23,768 --> 00:40:27,192
They got it to the bitch Krupskaya.
465
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,823
Trotsky.
466
00:40:31,345 --> 00:40:35,574
Yes: Trotsky, Kamenev, Zinoviev...
467
00:40:36,437 --> 00:40:38,673
The three little weasels!
468
00:40:39,244 --> 00:40:41,326
Don't say that!
469
00:40:42,673 --> 00:40:44,236
Mice.
470
00:40:44,726 --> 00:40:48,285
But the Georgian cat can make a deal
with them and then...
471
00:40:54,222 --> 00:40:56,774
Comrade Lenin also wrote:
472
00:40:57,538 --> 00:40:59,995
"Stalin is too rude
473
00:41:00,805 --> 00:41:04,140
and his fault becomes intolerable
474
00:41:04,736 --> 00:41:08,979
in one who holds the office of
General Secretary.
475
00:41:09,347 --> 00:41:11,910
Therefore, I propose to the comrades
476
00:41:11,919 --> 00:41:17,250
to consider a means of removing
Stalin from the post
477
00:41:17,701 --> 00:41:19,861
and appointing another person:
478
00:41:20,223 --> 00:41:23,659
more patient, more loyal,
more attentive... "
479
00:41:24,159 --> 00:41:26,734
No!...
- I'm the less...
480
00:41:26,735 --> 00:41:28,842
No! Trotsky...
- Let Trotsky speak...
481
00:41:30,074 --> 00:41:32,093
This is the end of Stalin...
482
00:41:32,094 --> 00:41:33,807
Let Trotsky speak...
483
00:41:33,808 --> 00:41:37,592
Talk to them! You're the only one
who can rid us of Stalin.
484
00:41:38,097 --> 00:41:40,575
Let's Zinoviev deliver the blow.
485
00:41:41,251 --> 00:41:44,248
Please, please!
486
00:41:44,678 --> 00:41:49,358
For all of us Lenin's words
have special meaning in a way.
487
00:41:50,886 --> 00:41:53,683
But in the long period
when comrade Lenin was unable to lead
488
00:41:53,718 --> 00:41:59,258
it fell upon us:
comrades Kamenev, Zinoviev and Stalin -
489
00:41:59,314 --> 00:42:01,786
to provide collective leadership.
490
00:42:01,787 --> 00:42:03,790
Our experience makes me happy to say
491
00:42:04,636 --> 00:42:08,021
that comrade Lenin's apprehensions
are not well-founded.
492
00:42:08,352 --> 00:42:11,649
So, I propose to maintain
Stalin in his post.
493
00:42:11,684 --> 00:42:13,711
This is an outrage!
494
00:42:13,900 --> 00:42:16,136
Lenin was ill.
- Comrade Zinoviev, ...
495
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,891
Lenin was right!
- We should listen to Lenin!
496
00:42:18,976 --> 00:42:21,400
Let's Trotsky speak!
497
00:42:22,201 --> 00:42:25,349
Let us agree that
Lenin did write those words...
498
00:42:25,350 --> 00:42:26,850
He betrayed you!
499
00:42:26,851 --> 00:42:30,801
Yes, comrades, I am rude to those
who wreaked and split the party
500
00:42:30,901 --> 00:42:35,859
and I have never conceal this
and I DO not conceal it now.
501
00:42:37,264 --> 00:42:40,462
Not to be gentle is better than...
502
00:42:41,283 --> 00:42:45,426
it is not really to be like...
Krupskaya.
503
00:42:46,220 --> 00:42:48,579
I am not free to desert my post.
504
00:42:49,698 --> 00:42:54,243
Twice!
Twice I try to resign
505
00:42:54,244 --> 00:42:58,422
and twice I was told
to remain at my post.
506
00:43:00,431 --> 00:43:05,656
I obey the party. It is my obligation
507
00:43:06,062 --> 00:43:08,247
that I remain at my post.
508
00:43:21,916 --> 00:43:25,586
Trotsky wasted his last chance
to stop my father.
509
00:43:25,621 --> 00:43:29,629
He underestimated the man who he called:
"The Mule" and "The Mountaineer. "
510
00:43:47,780 --> 00:43:49,905
I'm Yakov.
511
00:43:59,286 --> 00:44:01,818
Your son.
- I know.
512
00:44:05,968 --> 00:44:09,460
Why do you come here?
- He's come to Moscow, to study.
513
00:44:09,777 --> 00:44:13,245
It's... it's better here than Tbilisi -
to the schools, I mean.
514
00:44:15,177 --> 00:44:19,493
What you're asking me:
you think you can just walk in here?
515
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:26,991
Get out! Go! Out! Go!
- I've given your son our spare room.
516
00:44:40,770 --> 00:44:46,376
No, no! You... don't worry.
517
00:44:46,553 --> 00:44:48,754
He'll be all-right.
518
00:44:50,484 --> 00:44:54,754
Why, Josef? Why?
519
00:44:56,135 --> 00:45:02,112
You never even told me you had a son,
why?
520
00:45:02,304 --> 00:45:06,328
When his mother died he was two months
old - you haven't seen him since, why?
521
00:45:08,579 --> 00:45:11,643
Did you hate her?
- No.
522
00:45:13,830 --> 00:45:16,663
Have you loved her?
- She was a young Georgian woman,
523
00:45:16,698 --> 00:45:19,484
uneducated, religious.
- How far you didn't love her?
524
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:24,722
She was young, I was young...
- You've never even talked about her!
525
00:45:28,175 --> 00:45:32,033
She's dead, Nadya.
- Oh! The door is shut, the room is sealed!?
526
00:45:32,533 --> 00:45:35,626
And you never thought about her?
- Dead is dead.
527
00:45:36,126 --> 00:45:38,297
And if I die?
528
00:45:38,797 --> 00:45:41,670
Don't say that.
- If I die would you abandon Vasily?
529
00:45:41,705 --> 00:45:44,758
I didn't abandon Yakov;
I left him with his sisters.
530
00:45:45,258 --> 00:45:47,520
Who would you leave Vasily with?
531
00:46:19,230 --> 00:46:21,440
Want you other child?
532
00:46:22,872 --> 00:46:24,896
What other child?
533
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:29,685
The one I'm caring, I'm pregnant!
534
00:46:33,961 --> 00:46:37,933
You are pregnant; you - pregnant?
535
00:46:43,226 --> 00:46:49,144
Why didn't you tell me, why?
- I made sure today.
536
00:47:01,866 --> 00:47:03,879
Let Yakov stay!
537
00:47:18,673 --> 00:47:20,268
Josef.
538
00:47:44,367 --> 00:47:45,950
Josef!
539
00:47:55,389 --> 00:47:57,427
Look at them conspiring.
540
00:47:57,607 --> 00:48:01,791
They play Trotsky against me and me
against Trotsky.
541
00:48:02,286 --> 00:48:05,462
They thing they'll climb upon top.
542
00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:08,867
I'll strike first.
543
00:48:21,674 --> 00:48:25,261
Comrades, who do you thing
is shipping off?
544
00:48:25,296 --> 00:48:28,423
It's Trotsky, Lenin's friend!
545
00:48:28,458 --> 00:48:32,388
My father! Comrades, stop them!
546
00:48:35,460 --> 00:48:38,699
No! It's Trotsky, Lenin's friend!
547
00:48:38,899 --> 00:48:42,246
He is my father! I can't believe this!
548
00:48:42,247 --> 00:48:46,865
No! Don't take him! Why is taht?
No-o-o!
549
00:48:46,866 --> 00:48:51,218
He fought against the imperial army...
550
00:49:30,308 --> 00:49:37,302
In 1801 Alexander I outlawed
the use of torture.
551
00:49:38,471 --> 00:49:43,976
"The very word "Torture", " he said,
"is a disgrace to human race. "
552
00:49:43,977 --> 00:49:45,553
Disgrace.
553
00:49:46,607 --> 00:49:50,213
I'm helping Yakov prepare
for his exams.
554
00:49:50,539 --> 00:49:53,479
You agree with Alexander?
555
00:49:55,579 --> 00:49:58,755
Your opinion, brilliant student!
556
00:49:59,906 --> 00:50:01,912
You agree or not?
557
00:50:06,595 --> 00:50:08,937
A little discussion.
558
00:50:09,386 --> 00:50:11,628
Let us say that you are
an army commander:
559
00:50:11,629 --> 00:50:14,017
It'll never happen, of course,
but let us say it...
560
00:50:14,052 --> 00:50:17,573
They bring you a prisoner
who has vital information
561
00:50:17,608 --> 00:50:20,336
that could save the lives of your...
562
00:50:20,345 --> 00:50:22,361
your command...
563
00:50:23,638 --> 00:50:28,309
He's stubborn, he... he won't talk.
564
00:50:29,826 --> 00:50:33,233
He spits in your face.
565
00:50:35,523 --> 00:50:40,260
What you would do, Yakov?
- I... I don't know.
566
00:50:40,444 --> 00:50:43,278
You let your men die?
- No?
567
00:50:44,328 --> 00:50:46,536
Yakov,
568
00:50:46,922 --> 00:50:50,092
how do you save them, huh?
569
00:50:51,141 --> 00:50:52,648
I...
570
00:50:53,639 --> 00:50:56,086
Torture is wrong!
571
00:50:57,975 --> 00:51:00,810
My son!?
572
00:51:01,186 --> 00:51:05,608
And you're trying to...
to educate this hopeless idiot?
573
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:38,255
It's a... a copy of Lenin's testament,
er, as they call it.
574
00:51:39,193 --> 00:51:43,171
Printed in large numbers by
a secret press in Leningrad.
575
00:51:47,308 --> 00:51:50,784
"Stalin is too rude. "
576
00:51:51,923 --> 00:51:54,965
And what a role does Zinoviev
play in this matter?
577
00:51:55,260 --> 00:51:56,814
Zinoviev?
578
00:51:57,314 --> 00:52:00,740
He's a party boss - do you thing this
could happen without his complicity?
579
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:07,545
I think he's on your side.
He supported you against Trotsky.
580
00:52:12,443 --> 00:52:14,773
A temporary maneuver.
581
00:52:17,450 --> 00:52:20,678
Sergo,
I think you could go to Leningrad.
582
00:52:22,566 --> 00:52:27,621
May be you could persuade the comrades
there to get rid of Zinoviev.
583
00:52:28,414 --> 00:52:31,362
Find a replacement...
a good communists,
584
00:52:31,469 --> 00:52:33,942
attractive personality, ...
585
00:52:34,449 --> 00:52:40,652
but... who, ... who could we get?
586
00:52:41,984 --> 00:52:45,781
Kirov?
- Kirov.
587
00:52:48,463 --> 00:52:53,940
You worded with him in the Caucasus?
-Yes, he really shoves things up.
588
00:52:54,306 --> 00:52:58,486
A good man, people like him.
Reads books, likes music, ...
589
00:52:58,487 --> 00:53:00,616
a well rounded fellow.
590
00:53:03,221 --> 00:53:09,296
It's very good, Sergo, very good.
Why didn't I think of him? Very good.
591
00:53:10,409 --> 00:53:13,741
Comrade Kirov!
- Comrade Kirov?
592
00:53:19,597 --> 00:53:21,182
Good.
593
00:53:29,571 --> 00:53:32,827
Comrades! Sergo!
594
00:53:35,124 --> 00:53:38,386
What do you got?
What is this? What?
595
00:54:09,911 --> 00:54:13,885
You killed it yourself, huh?
- A single shot.
596
00:54:16,943 --> 00:54:19,779
How far?
- 10 meters.
597
00:54:20,419 --> 00:54:24,172
No - wait, wait!
You stood 10 m away from this?
598
00:54:25,084 --> 00:54:27,105
I don't believe that.
599
00:54:27,106 --> 00:54:30,022
Who could do it, I mean,
Who could do it?
600
00:54:30,607 --> 00:54:34,269
Could you do it, Iron Pants?|
601
00:54:34,769 --> 00:54:37,461
Wouldn't be iron your pants, would it?
602
00:54:48,664 --> 00:54:52,141
You're going to Leningrad
to replace Zinoviev.
603
00:54:53,227 --> 00:54:56,940
Sergo's going, too, and Kaganovich.
604
00:54:57,414 --> 00:54:59,629
I'm counting on you!
605
00:55:11,083 --> 00:55:12,678
10 meters!
606
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,917
He shot this from 10 m, Yagoda.
607
00:55:19,690 --> 00:55:23,617
10 meters! Who could believe that?
608
00:55:24,186 --> 00:55:29,619
Don't you admire a man like that?
And watch him.
609
00:55:30,252 --> 00:55:36,431
Go to Leningrad and keep an eye on them.
Especially, ... especially Kirov.
610
00:55:36,432 --> 00:55:37,975
Yes.
611
00:55:41,942 --> 00:55:45,652
January 1928
612
00:55:48,198 --> 00:55:53,912
My parents, my brother Vasily and I were
on our way south to our winter home.
613
00:55:54,444 --> 00:55:56,880
We stopped at station after station
614
00:55:56,881 --> 00:55:59,146
so that my father could flex
615
00:55:59,147 --> 00:56:01,499
the party muscle
for local officials
616
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:03,913
who have been summoned there
by regional party boss
617
00:56:04,043 --> 00:56:06,660
Lavrenti Beria.
618
00:56:41,987 --> 00:56:44,047
What is to be done?
619
00:56:46,011 --> 00:56:52,237
The harvests have been good;
I could see the fields from the train.
620
00:56:53,791 --> 00:56:57,089
But the grain is not being delivered,
why is that?
621
00:56:58,747 --> 00:57:00,860
Is it because the peasants
have been told
622
00:57:00,861 --> 00:57:03,437
they can, if they wait,
obtain better prices
623
00:57:04,052 --> 00:57:08,105
and become richer at the expense of
everyone else?
624
00:57:08,106 --> 00:57:11,194
Who, who's told them this, who?
625
00:57:11,940 --> 00:57:15,860
Comrade Stalin, I'm not sure
you understand the situation:
626
00:57:16,145 --> 00:57:20,316
the state offers low prices,
unreasonably low prices.
627
00:57:20,317 --> 00:57:22,334
The state wants us, peasants,
628
00:57:22,340 --> 00:57:25,033
to work for the benefit
of the people of the cities!
629
00:57:26,136 --> 00:57:29,194
There's grumbling in my district!
630
00:57:29,427 --> 00:57:33,922
Party officials
could do not understand our peasants
631
00:57:33,923 --> 00:57:37,466
come to the villages threatened.
632
00:57:37,491 --> 00:57:42,451
The peasants complain that when they sell
their grain they receive nothing in return.
633
00:57:43,398 --> 00:57:46,244
There is nothing for them to buy.
634
00:57:47,584 --> 00:57:51,556
I asked what is to be done
and did you give me answers - No!
635
00:57:52,688 --> 00:57:54,961
Only complaints.
636
00:57:55,107 --> 00:57:59,050
Did you give me a solution? No.
637
00:57:59,406 --> 00:58:01,562
So I will give you mine:
638
00:58:03,215 --> 00:58:08,704
You will demand the surrenders of all
stocks of grain at the existing prices.
639
00:58:08,843 --> 00:58:12,123
Anyone who refuses,
you will confiscate his grain.
640
00:58:14,276 --> 00:58:16,741
You will bring anyone
who opposes you to justice,
641
00:58:16,742 --> 00:58:18,814
under article Number 107
of the criminal code,
642
00:58:18,815 --> 00:58:25,314
which, I remind you, prescribes severe
punishment for any kind of speculation.
643
00:58:25,442 --> 00:58:27,473
But comrade Stalin...
644
00:58:28,906 --> 00:58:34,995
Those are your instructions. These measures
will be applied throughout the USSR.
645
00:58:39,423 --> 00:58:41,660
Thank you for your ideas.
646
00:58:55,222 --> 00:58:58,464
80 % of the Russian population
were farmers
647
00:58:58,465 --> 00:59:01,956
who lived and worked remote
from party control.
648
00:59:02,649 --> 00:59:05,782
For my father
this represented a real danger.
649
00:59:05,982 --> 00:59:09,513
Those he could not control might later
become enemies.
650
00:59:21,288 --> 00:59:23,316
What'll happen to us... ?
- Our children... ?
651
00:59:23,317 --> 00:59:27,383
Don�t you understand...
- Comrade Beria, please...
652
00:59:28,209 --> 00:59:31,014
Come on, come on. Go!
653
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:50,631
Come here! Come! Come.
654
00:59:53,932 --> 00:59:58,108
Lavrenti Beria came to our house
for the firs time that year.
655
00:59:58,425 --> 01:00:02,343
I would see him often.
He always frightened me.
656
01:00:11,928 --> 01:00:16,252
He's a pervert.
- Beria?
657
01:00:19,846 --> 01:00:25,148
Sergo knew him in Georgia.
Even before he became party boss.
658
01:00:26,709 --> 01:00:33,199
He kidnapped this girl. He raped her.
He forced her to marry him.
659
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:39,044
He still rapes women. Young girls.
660
01:00:40,328 --> 01:00:43,976
He's thriving around.
He sees someone. He says:
661
01:00:44,011 --> 01:00:45,868
"Bring her in!"
662
01:00:45,869 --> 01:00:47,717
And then he says: "If you don't want
663
01:00:47,718 --> 01:00:51,113
something to happen to you
or your family... "
664
01:00:57,262 --> 01:00:59,250
Sergo hates him.
665
01:00:59,251 --> 01:01:02,152
Why doesn't he say something to Josef?
- He did.
666
01:01:03,182 --> 01:01:08,468
And your husband said: "Mind
your own business!" Just like that.
667
01:01:12,245 --> 01:01:14,338
I'll talk to him.
668
01:01:14,853 --> 01:01:18,007
You're declaring war on the peasants!
669
01:01:18,008 --> 01:01:21,161
Forcing them to give their own land...
670
01:01:21,661 --> 01:01:25,485
and move on to state collective farms.
Already they're shooting their livestock;
671
01:01:25,648 --> 01:01:27,772
they're eating their seed grain...
672
01:01:28,062 --> 01:01:33,100
If you continue there will be a famine!
- Bukharin, you are too soft.
673
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,740
There are reports that some peasants
have already been shot.
674
01:01:38,966 --> 01:01:44,475
Without trial. Thousands have been
sent off to labor-camps, why?
675
01:01:46,337 --> 01:01:50,156
Do we have to starve the country
to feed the city?
676
01:01:50,955 --> 01:01:53,031
The Politburo never agreed.
677
01:01:53,066 --> 01:01:55,717
I know everyone's position.
678
01:01:56,095 --> 01:02:02,867
But Lenin always said:
"In the party we discuss and we debate. "
679
01:02:03,221 --> 01:02:09,205
Don't try to bring Lenin
into this, Bukharin. I know Lenin.
680
01:02:20,791 --> 01:02:24,308
I'm going back to Moscow.
681
01:02:51,917 --> 01:02:55,355
What will happen to Nikolai?
682
01:02:55,981 --> 01:02:59,082
Josef allows no-one
to stand up to him.
683
01:02:59,206 --> 01:03:01,948
As you know he forced Trotsky
into exile.
684
01:03:01,983 --> 01:03:04,585
He doesn't forgive, he doesn't forget.
685
01:03:05,988 --> 01:03:09,487
Zina, he trusts no-one,
not even Sergo.
686
01:03:10,066 --> 01:03:16,372
My Sergo, his oldest friend?
Oh, you're imagining things.
687
01:03:17,006 --> 01:03:21,612
He hates his own son, Yakov,
humiliates him. No!
688
01:03:21,613 --> 01:03:24,635
The only people close to him
are his own creatures:
689
01:03:24,670 --> 01:03:28,557
this evil pervert Beria
who is not coming here again.
690
01:03:29,134 --> 01:03:32,948
Kaganovich, Molotov, Voroshilov -
those!
691
01:03:34,008 --> 01:03:37,470
He loves you.
- Does he?
692
01:04:24,090 --> 01:04:25,643
Yakov!
693
01:04:32,068 --> 01:04:36,086
What happened?
- He wants to get married, I won't have it.
694
01:04:36,121 --> 01:04:39,055
Why, who is she?
- She's Jewish.
695
01:04:39,090 --> 01:04:44,290
So?
- So, you want him to marry a Jew, huh?
696
01:04:45,869 --> 01:04:52,407
How can you say that? Huh?
How can you feel that?
697
01:05:02,741 --> 01:05:07,827
Mammy!
- Get the doctor!
698
01:05:07,862 --> 01:05:11,023
A flesh wound!
- The doctor! And get Vasily out!
699
01:05:22,296 --> 01:05:27,567
An idiot! Can't even shoot him right!
700
01:05:46,905 --> 01:05:48,984
My son!? He-he...
701
01:06:00,943 --> 01:06:05,936
Yakov survived.
But my mother soul was wounded.
702
01:06:40,844 --> 01:06:43,454
She'd... haven't enough of sleep.
703
01:06:47,556 --> 01:06:53,027
Nadya!
What had she been doing in Leningrad?
704
01:06:55,855 --> 01:06:57,995
I've left him.
705
01:06:58,628 --> 01:07:03,534
No! Nadya!
Nadya, you don't understand...
706
01:07:03,535 --> 01:07:06,000
YOU don't understand.
707
01:07:06,001 --> 01:07:09,205
I do. Of course, I do.
708
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:14,075
He's... he's...
709
01:07:17,299 --> 01:07:19,351
Do you want us to call him?
710
01:07:19,651 --> 01:07:21,609
No... no...
711
01:07:25,713 --> 01:07:27,883
Not yet, no...
712
01:07:32,674 --> 01:07:34,818
You had an argument?
713
01:07:39,534 --> 01:07:44,899
He is... suspicious of everyone...
vicious, cruel!
714
01:07:45,832 --> 01:07:51,292
Well, he has some rough ways, Koba.
- He is not Koba, he's Stalin.
715
01:07:51,327 --> 01:07:53,591
Of course, he is Stalin,
he has to be Stalin!
716
01:07:53,592 --> 01:07:56,178
Why would Russia be
if he weren't Stalin?
717
01:07:58,422 --> 01:08:02,756
He... he's been cruel to you?
718
01:08:03,529 --> 01:08:08,238
But he's a good father? You've said
many times he loves his children.
719
01:08:11,623 --> 01:08:15,383
He has... somebody else?
- No.
720
01:08:15,418 --> 01:08:19,051
Not, of course not. He has burdens.
721
01:08:19,517 --> 01:08:22,413
All the probles:
straddling the selfish elements,
722
01:08:22,513 --> 01:08:24,532
wrecking in the industry, sabotages.
723
01:08:24,598 --> 01:08:26,975
The country�s in crisis, he needs you!
724
01:08:27,087 --> 01:08:30,657
But, Sergei!
- You can't desert your husband!
725
01:08:32,739 --> 01:08:36,911
You're overtired.
You stay here a few days.
726
01:08:36,912 --> 01:08:40,196
All-right. All-right, I'll call him.
727
01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:44,651
I'll explain to him you're tired,
worn-out, ... distraught.
728
01:08:45,926 --> 01:08:50,228
Oh, you need time, Nadya,
to think calm,
729
01:08:50,229 --> 01:08:53,169
and carefully.
730
01:08:54,441 --> 01:08:56,929
If you don't go back, ...
731
01:08:57,898 --> 01:09:01,102
what is going to happen to you?
732
01:09:03,261 --> 01:09:05,366
To all of us?
733
01:09:10,242 --> 01:09:16,855
You are the wife of comrade Stalin.
You have his children.
734
01:09:19,116 --> 01:09:25,824
Why don't you see? You are
not anymore an ordinary person.
735
01:09:25,825 --> 01:09:28,934
He's probably worrying the worse...
He's to know where you are.
736
01:09:48,522 --> 01:09:51,589
Hello, yes? Sergei.
737
01:09:56,102 --> 01:10:01,718
It's your husband.
He wants to talk to you.
738
01:10:06,321 --> 01:10:10,001
Koba, she's coming.
739
01:11:41,212 --> 01:11:47,966
You're going to Moscow?
Tell comrade Stalin what is happening!
740
01:11:48,118 --> 01:11:51,984
Tell him they have taken all:
our lands,
741
01:11:51,985 --> 01:11:55,579
all food, our lives.
742
01:11:56,777 --> 01:12:02,640
They send us away...
comrade Stalin doesn't know!
743
01:12:04,098 --> 01:12:08,269
Tell him! Tell comrade Stalin!
744
01:13:02,917 --> 01:13:04,509
Beria!
745
01:13:04,510 --> 01:13:07,375
Don't dance with your life -
you get in the way.
746
01:13:08,581 --> 01:13:13,417
She's a wonderful dancer you say.
You say! Tell her to show us.
747
01:13:29,011 --> 01:13:31,588
Don't stop! Play, play!
748
01:15:18,997 --> 01:15:22,602
Nadya! We'd be hoping you'd come.
749
01:15:23,020 --> 01:15:25,604
So, you're back. Good, good.
750
01:15:26,553 --> 01:15:28,608
I have a message for you.
751
01:15:28,785 --> 01:15:31,522
My wife delivers messages.
752
01:15:34,062 --> 01:15:36,105
From an old woman.
753
01:15:36,298 --> 01:15:39,905
My wife delivers messages
from old women.
754
01:15:47,025 --> 01:15:52,722
The train stopped at a station.
On one side there was a freight train.
755
01:15:52,971 --> 01:15:56,589
Cars filled with people
being deported.
756
01:15:57,427 --> 01:16:02,153
Bodies pitched out onto the rails...
One station! How many more are there!?
757
01:16:04,545 --> 01:16:08,369
A woman ran to me,
begging me to tell Stalin,
758
01:16:08,781 --> 01:16:12,474
"The Great Stalin" that people
were being starved to death.
759
01:16:12,765 --> 01:16:16,027
If only the great Stalin knew
then he would save his people.
760
01:16:16,028 --> 01:16:20,777
But YOU celebrate the 15-th
anniversary of the revolution
761
01:16:20,855 --> 01:16:25,237
and comrade Stalin feeds his friends
while his people starve.
762
01:16:25,561 --> 01:16:28,491
Is this what the revolution was for?
763
01:16:51,918 --> 01:16:53,783
Play! Play!
764
01:17:03,596 --> 01:17:05,651
I'd better go.
765
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:40,458
Nadya!
766
01:17:43,398 --> 01:17:47,784
I loved him, Zina! I loved him!
767
01:17:48,042 --> 01:17:54,589
He'll never forgive me.
He'll punish me, punishes everyone.
768
01:17:55,428 --> 01:18:01,021
Perhaps you should go away for a while.
- Where, where can I away from Stalin go?
769
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,095
Where they join of others.
770
01:18:06,176 --> 01:18:09,100
Know - to a camp.
Yes, he would send me to a camp!
771
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,713
No, he wouldn't do that.
- No, you think not?
772
01:18:16,876 --> 01:18:19,025
I would talk to him.
773
01:18:21,097 --> 01:18:22,672
No?
774
01:18:24,745 --> 01:18:26,746
Be careful.
775
01:18:31,411 --> 01:18:35,182
Protect yourself. I'll beg for you.
776
01:18:44,526 --> 01:18:48,070
I will go away somewhere,
you were right.
777
01:18:48,779 --> 01:18:50,853
I will go with you.
- No!
778
01:18:56,762 --> 01:19:00,325
My friend, my dear friend.
779
01:19:01,008 --> 01:19:03,289
I have to go away alone.
780
01:19:04,230 --> 01:19:07,697
Have to go alone. Just go away.
781
01:19:10,268 --> 01:19:12,545
You were right.
782
01:19:13,614 --> 01:19:16,313
You knew.
783
01:19:18,788 --> 01:19:23,247
You take care of everyone
while I am away. Huh?
784
01:19:24,289 --> 01:19:27,188
I depend on you for this.
785
01:19:38,548 --> 01:19:41,337
I love you.
786
01:20:30,761 --> 01:20:32,314
Koba!
787
01:20:36,468 --> 01:20:38,776
Koba!
788
01:21:37,729 --> 01:21:39,823
Cover her.
789
01:22:49,972 --> 01:22:52,160
He told me that Nadya left him
as it can't be.
790
01:22:52,161 --> 01:22:54,561
That's why he didn't come
to the funeral?
791
01:22:54,596 --> 01:22:56,720
My friend has buried his heart today.
792
01:22:57,176 --> 01:22:59,261
His heart?
- He's berried his heart with a lie -
793
01:22:59,262 --> 01:23:02,250
that come to me that
all she died of appendicitis.
794
01:23:03,117 --> 01:23:05,195
Yes, he loved her. Yes, he killed her.
795
01:23:05,695 --> 01:23:07,780
Yes, he is killing millions
on the country-side
796
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:11,029
and yes, our eyes are shut.
797
01:23:11,828 --> 01:23:17,196
Who are we? What are we?
What are we now?
798
01:23:50,716 --> 01:23:54,862
Why did you betray me? why?
799
01:25:00,888 --> 01:25:03,599
My father called the famine
a fairy-tale.
800
01:25:03,777 --> 01:25:07,990
And sold to other nations the grain
that would have saved his own people.
801
01:25:19,421 --> 01:25:22,537
He used the money to industrialize
our nation of peasants.
802
01:25:22,538 --> 01:25:26,633
The people were pushed day and night
to make themselves greater,
803
01:25:26,797 --> 01:25:30,276
Russia greater, Stalin greater.
804
01:25:36,977 --> 01:25:42,484
All I knew was that my mother had been
dead for two years and we missed her.
805
01:25:57,697 --> 01:26:00,796
Wake up! Wake up, sleepy head!
806
01:26:04,546 --> 01:26:06,775
Wake up, Wake up!
807
01:26:06,776 --> 01:26:12,256
My little house-keeper is bringing me
tedious this afternoon. Why?
808
01:26:16,512 --> 01:26:19,747
Grandma's taking me
to Nikolai's wedding.
809
01:26:21,594 --> 01:26:24,683
Is that so. .
810
01:26:25,921 --> 01:26:28,102
Sacha Vasiliyevna?
811
01:26:33,001 --> 01:26:36,750
It's not only us that Hitler
is threatening, it's the world.
812
01:26:36,975 --> 01:26:40,220
We need a new strategy;
we need to unite the word.
813
01:26:40,255 --> 01:26:45,866
You're such an idealist, Bukharin.
Where's the bride? This is for the bride!
814
01:26:46,148 --> 01:26:47,747
Anya Michaylovna,
815
01:26:48,776 --> 01:26:51,616
for years I've been waiting for you
to be old enough to drink this.
816
01:26:51,872 --> 01:26:55,022
Thank you, Uncle Sergei!
- And this, Nikolai's for you.
817
01:26:56,119 --> 01:26:59,275
What?
What's that?
818
01:26:59,276 --> 01:27:00,798
Oh! A fox!
819
01:27:00,799 --> 01:27:04,283
I had this creature in the sites of my
gun but it looked straight in my eyes.
820
01:27:04,407 --> 01:27:08,807
"There's a renaissance man" it said,
"You should take me as a present".
821
01:27:08,908 --> 01:27:11,793
Tell the truth, Kirov,
you were scared to death.
822
01:27:11,794 --> 01:27:13,838
You tell the truth:
how did you win this girl?
823
01:27:14,036 --> 01:27:19,893
It was I who want him and it wasn't easy.
I pretended I was younger than he was.
824
01:27:20,326 --> 01:27:22,867
So I want to make a toast now.
825
01:27:23,694 --> 01:27:28,586
To Nikolai! My gentle,
open-hearted husband.
826
01:27:29,024 --> 01:27:32,994
So believes in the goodness
of people because he is good.
827
01:27:32,995 --> 01:27:34,495
To Nikolai!
828
01:27:39,626 --> 01:27:42,227
Hum, another guest!
829
01:27:45,948 --> 01:27:49,851
Bukharchick, congratulations!
830
01:27:50,518 --> 01:27:53,218
You forgot! Forgot.
831
01:27:55,837 --> 01:27:57,395
Congratulations!
832
01:27:57,895 --> 01:27:59,436
Papa!
833
01:28:03,458 --> 01:28:09,370
Did you think you would merry our
Nikolai, and Stalin not know about it?
834
01:28:10,489 --> 01:28:15,174
Nikolai, Nikolai,
you've outgone me again.
835
01:28:17,214 --> 01:28:22,350
We all love you, Nikolai.
Stalin loves him. Lenin loved him.
836
01:28:27,130 --> 01:28:32,693
My dearest, dearest Nadya...
loved him.
837
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,637
Is that not so?
838
01:28:46,215 --> 01:28:52,694
What a beautiful bride! And I wish
you both the greatest happiness!
839
01:28:55,160 --> 01:29:00,030
Kirov. We need talk.
840
01:29:11,892 --> 01:29:15,103
We'll send Yagoda's deputy
to Leningrad.
841
01:29:16,375 --> 01:29:17,965
What for?
842
01:29:18,586 --> 01:29:20,733
There're people that want to get you.
843
01:29:21,104 --> 01:29:25,265
No, believe me, believe me.
Unsuspected ones...
844
01:29:25,356 --> 01:29:27,415
trusted by you.
845
01:29:29,373 --> 01:29:32,919
You have placed
one of your own men in Leningrad?
846
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,872
The central committee...
847
01:29:34,873 --> 01:29:37,301
The central committee have,
without consulting me,
848
01:29:37,777 --> 01:29:41,097
sent the man to NKVD in Leningrad?
849
01:29:41,483 --> 01:29:47,014
He will be deputy...
to your man Medved.
850
01:29:50,209 --> 01:29:54,302
Thank you, comrade Stalin.
851
01:29:55,205 --> 01:29:57,575
I have to get back to Leningrad.
852
01:29:57,646 --> 01:29:59,855
Kirov was a popular man.
853
01:29:59,856 --> 01:30:03,017
People who had turned
against my father and his methods...
854
01:30:03,117 --> 01:30:06,152
saw Kirov as their best hope
for salvation.
855
01:30:06,385 --> 01:30:09,052
And my father knew.
856
01:30:17,823 --> 01:30:19,354
Yes.
857
01:30:20,832 --> 01:30:25,150
Yes. One moment, please.
858
01:30:29,904 --> 01:30:32,143
It's Stalin!
859
01:30:50,870 --> 01:30:52,898
This is Yagoda.
860
01:30:54,521 --> 01:30:56,613
Yes, comrade Stalin!
861
01:31:04,884 --> 01:31:08,135
That summer my father reorganized
state security.
862
01:31:09,135 --> 01:31:11,190
And appointed Yagoda chief.
863
01:31:16,936 --> 01:31:22,903
My father had many houses but the one
he lived in most was just outside Moscow.
864
01:31:23,306 --> 01:31:26,317
It was a fortress
with walls and guards.
865
01:31:26,318 --> 01:31:30,665
My father began to spend most
of his time behind these walls.
866
01:31:32,283 --> 01:31:35,442
Charlie Chaplin Yagoda,
Charlie Chaplin.
867
01:31:51,278 --> 01:31:55,511
Every film shown in Russia had to be
personally approved by my father.
868
01:31:57,057 --> 01:32:02,862
He loved American films the most:
musicals, gangster movies, comedies.
869
01:32:02,961 --> 01:32:05,742
Charlie Chaplin was his favorite.
870
01:32:32,694 --> 01:32:36,335
Is the German material ready?
- Yes, Koba.
871
01:32:44,602 --> 01:32:47,254
You go on, this one would not
interest you, Svetlana, go on.
872
01:32:47,289 --> 01:32:49,451
Can you find your way back without me?
873
01:32:50,355 --> 01:32:53,601
Oh, don't worry about papa, no... go!
874
01:33:39,425 --> 01:33:43,455
Did you come to comrade Kirov last night?
A very popular man, isn�t he?
875
01:33:43,532 --> 01:33:45,075
Yes.
876
01:33:45,076 --> 01:33:48,160
In Moscow it's not as in Leningrad.
- Yes.
877
01:33:48,379 --> 01:33:54,127
And Sergei is so - an exceptional leader,
always considerate and always...
878
01:33:55,127 --> 01:33:57,198
decisive?
- Yes.
879
01:33:57,598 --> 01:34:02,156
Do you not think he is aware of it?
- Aware of... what, comrade Stalin?
880
01:34:04,648 --> 01:34:09,486
The conspiracy! To make him
General Secretary instead of me.
881
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:13,021
It's... hard to know, comrade Stalin.
882
01:34:13,435 --> 01:34:16,521
It's your business to know.
883
01:34:21,558 --> 01:34:25,288
Leningrad
December 1, 1934
884
01:34:39,258 --> 01:34:42,445
In the car, comrade Kirov,
at least drove the curtains.
885
01:34:42,945 --> 01:34:45,726
For safety.
- For safety, my friend, I have you.
886
01:35:06,727 --> 01:35:10,513
Comrade Medved. NKVD.
887
01:37:08,885 --> 01:37:12,586
You were in charge of
comrade's Kirov security?
888
01:37:13,656 --> 01:37:15,683
Yes, comrade Stalin!
889
01:37:55,633 --> 01:38:01,558
Comrade Nicolayev,
why did you kill comrade Kirov, why?
890
01:38:02,046 --> 01:38:04,556
I, I, ...
- Don't lie!
891
01:38:04,557 --> 01:38:08,444
You keep lying to comrade Stalin.
892
01:38:10,846 --> 01:38:13,923
You didn't that alone, no.
But who helped you?
893
01:38:24,153 --> 01:38:26,191
Co... comrade Yagoda.
894
01:38:37,138 --> 01:38:39,697
No, no. No.
895
01:38:40,437 --> 01:38:44,469
You never saw
comrade Yagoda before today.
896
01:38:44,969 --> 01:38:47,207
You NEVER saw...
897
01:38:48,207 --> 01:38:51,604
comrade Yagoda before today.
Is that true?
898
01:38:51,618 --> 01:38:56,404
It was someone else, who approached you -
who would hate comrade Kirov?
899
01:38:56,686 --> 01:39:00,169
One of Zinoviev's people, right?
900
01:39:01,980 --> 01:39:08,042
But, you can't remember who. You need
901
01:39:08,992 --> 01:39:11,269
help in remembering who.
902
01:39:12,526 --> 01:39:19,272
We've arrested your wife, your mother, ...
Know you want them released, don't you?
903
01:39:21,323 --> 01:39:27,832
We'll send you to a new place, new home,
new body-guard - to be very careful.
904
01:39:30,157 --> 01:39:34,182
But... what am I... going...
to remember?
905
01:39:36,303 --> 01:39:39,659
What you're told: Names, places, ...
906
01:39:41,012 --> 01:39:44,692
everything you've forgotten.
907
01:39:48,740 --> 01:39:51,757
Yes. Here, do you want.
Do you.
908
01:40:04,623 --> 01:40:08,080
Get his confession and get rid of him,
Yezhov.
909
01:40:14,086 --> 01:40:16,639
Come on, Grisha, come with me.
910
01:40:27,137 --> 01:40:31,150
First, they told that Kirov was killed
by a personal enemy acting alone.
911
01:40:31,220 --> 01:40:33,321
Now they say it was a conspiracy.
912
01:40:33,579 --> 01:40:36,562
It probably was a conspiracy.
- But whose?
913
01:40:37,434 --> 01:40:39,799
It's like the burning
of the Reichstag.
914
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:42,456
The Nazis' done it themselves
and blamed it on the RMS.
915
01:40:42,841 --> 01:40:44,873
What are you saying?
916
01:40:48,014 --> 01:40:49,686
Grisha!
917
01:40:55,202 --> 01:40:59,123
Why won't he come to me?
- A fox has a mind of its own.
918
01:40:59,124 --> 01:41:01,244
Even a red fox.
919
01:41:04,156 --> 01:41:07,885
It was now a crime
to criticize my father or his policies.
920
01:41:08,086 --> 01:41:11,114
It became treason.
921
01:41:13,321 --> 01:41:16,987
Bukharin and my daughter
with his beautiful young wife.
922
01:41:18,257 --> 01:41:20,442
And his fox.
923
01:41:24,921 --> 01:41:28,482
He calls his fox Grisha,
your name, Zinoviev.
924
01:41:28,483 --> 01:41:30,437
It's a common name.
925
01:41:30,451 --> 01:41:32,136
Yes, of course.
926
01:41:33,635 --> 01:41:38,391
But... admit that Bukharin...
927
01:41:39,305 --> 01:41:42,166
named his fox after you.
928
01:41:43,144 --> 01:41:45,683
Koba.
- Admit it.
929
01:41:46,124 --> 01:41:52,835
Possibly, but he never told me.
- Admit It!
930
01:41:53,028 --> 01:41:58,521
Yes.
- Yes, he named his fox after You.
931
01:41:59,725 --> 01:42:05,013
Yes, Bukharin named his fox after me.
- Koba...
932
01:42:05,859 --> 01:42:08,385
Is it... it's easy to tell the truth.
933
01:42:08,885 --> 01:42:12,747
So, why do you keep lying
to comrades Yagoda and Yezhov?
934
01:42:13,533 --> 01:42:15,611
Are they're being too kind to you?
935
01:42:16,211 --> 01:42:18,933
Koba, let me tell you from experience
we shared,
936
01:42:18,934 --> 01:42:21,988
that Tsar's police were gentle
compared to these...
937
01:42:21,989 --> 01:42:25,845
And where is the Tsar now?
- Koba, you know us.
938
01:42:26,345 --> 01:42:29,489
We were side-by-side, side-by-side
always trough the old regime.
939
01:42:29,908 --> 01:42:32,083
We are still side-by-side
together with you.
940
01:42:32,084 --> 01:42:34,484
Under the inspired leadership
of Lenin and Stalin.
941
01:42:34,485 --> 01:42:36,833
How can you even believe that we
are going to conspire with com...
942
01:42:36,959 --> 01:42:40,353
with Trotsky to kill... comrade Kirov?
943
01:42:43,980 --> 01:42:46,230
Traitors!
944
01:42:49,570 --> 01:42:55,622
This... these tell that
comrades Zinoviev and Kamenev
945
01:42:56,622 --> 01:42:59,204
went along with Trotsky...
946
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:03,390
How did you come by these "confessions"?
How are they obtained?
947
01:43:03,641 --> 01:43:08,377
We can't tell you, Koba.
- Perhaps they don't understand the law.
948
01:43:09,917 --> 01:43:14,717
Measures against crime, among minors:
949
01:43:17,368 --> 01:43:21,232
Children of 12 and over are subject
to all measures of criminal punishment
950
01:43:21,233 --> 01:43:22,741
including...
951
01:43:22,742 --> 01:43:27,942
Including death.
Yes, including death.
952
01:43:30,833 --> 01:43:35,507
Tell comrade Kamenev about
the evidence against his son.
953
01:43:36,010 --> 01:43:42,622
You son has been on look-out... near
comrade Stalin new dacha outside Moscow.
954
01:43:43,122 --> 01:43:46,382
Preparing an attempt on Stalin's life.
955
01:43:46,682 --> 01:43:50,647
Impossible! He is only fourteen!
956
01:43:50,648 --> 01:43:53,462
Evidence.
- Fabrications!
957
01:43:53,497 --> 01:43:57,660
Evidence!
- My son would never...
958
01:43:57,765 --> 01:44:02,629
How can you ask us to say
that we scheme with Hitlerites.
959
01:44:02,630 --> 01:44:04,639
Who would believe that?
960
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:08,218
Anyone who hears and reads confessions.
And everyone in the world
961
01:44:08,219 --> 01:44:10,961
who hear and read and believe.
962
01:44:16,555 --> 01:44:19,163
Shoot them.
963
01:44:19,663 --> 01:44:22,078
They must be SHOT!
964
01:44:25,024 --> 01:44:30,351
Shed the blood of old comrades;
is that what you want, Yezhov... ?
965
01:44:52,966 --> 01:44:57,376
If we agree: you promise that
no-other old comrades be executed.
966
01:44:57,672 --> 01:45:01,570
Their families will not be harmed?
- The families, that's important.
967
01:45:02,070 --> 01:45:04,132
And our lives, too?
968
01:45:04,232 --> 01:45:07,314
Of course,
all that goes without saying.
969
01:45:15,417 --> 01:45:16,943
Koba!
970
01:45:28,940 --> 01:45:35,655
They've lied to us! They lied to us!
They promised we would not be killed.
971
01:45:42,566 --> 01:45:46,729
This, our families... he said our families
would not be hurt... he promised it,
972
01:45:46,730 --> 01:45:52,747
he said it that if we confessed we
would not be killed... he promised it...
973
01:46:05,607 --> 01:46:09,530
We were promised our lives
if we confessed.
974
01:46:10,157 --> 01:46:16,604
Comrade Stalin
has revoked his promise.
975
01:46:17,935 --> 01:46:20,833
Grisha, shut up!
976
01:46:22,301 --> 01:46:27,383
Be brave! Show them how men
who stood with Lenin can die.
977
01:47:00,136 --> 01:47:04,838
Not possible!
And a comedy.
978
01:47:07,121 --> 01:47:11,256
Could you do that? No, no.
- Anatomically... no-no.
979
01:47:11,382 --> 01:47:17,568
There goes our honor to Nikita,
N. Khrushchev, already boss of Moscow.
980
01:47:18,068 --> 01:47:24,499
You've come a long way from Ukraine,
Nikita. Builder of our glorious Metro.
981
01:47:26,302 --> 01:47:29,764
To our Nikita!
982
01:47:32,237 --> 01:47:35,084
Like Lenin... ha-ha...
983
01:47:39,926 --> 01:47:42,583
Show me your hands, Nikita.
984
01:47:43,703 --> 01:47:47,421
Dirt under the fingernails!
- Oh-o-o
985
01:47:47,422 --> 01:47:51,773
Can you imagine he comes to Stalin's
table with dirt on his fingernails!
986
01:47:52,273 --> 01:47:55,052
It's really bad.
- They are working on the field.
987
01:47:56,380 --> 01:48:00,048
Listen to these gentlemen: their hands
are clean and their nails are manicured.
988
01:48:00,049 --> 01:48:01,836
Look!
989
01:48:02,532 --> 01:48:05,873
These hands don't do work anymore. These
hands are the hands of a gentleman.
990
01:48:06,405 --> 01:48:08,425
Put all your hands out.
991
01:48:09,294 --> 01:48:14,340
All these gentlemen hands have
forgotten their proletarian origins.
992
01:48:14,986 --> 01:48:16,580
Nikita.
993
01:48:20,703 --> 01:48:23,885
To Nikita!
994
01:48:56,743 --> 01:49:01,400
You did... now do the other-one.
No-no. Do Zinoviev again.
995
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:24,675
Surprised that you didn't look this
execution of Zinoviev and Kamenev.
996
01:49:25,075 --> 01:49:27,076
You've sent Beria!
997
01:49:27,077 --> 01:49:30,655
Ah, because I thought you
may have not the stomach for it.
998
01:49:31,226 --> 01:49:34,554
Wouldn't have been the first
execution I have witnessed.
999
01:49:34,589 --> 01:49:38,700
Not, but in your heart you're still
"the Pharmacist. "
1000
01:49:38,945 --> 01:49:43,748
Yagoda concocting poisons;
putting to death, making plots,
1001
01:49:43,749 --> 01:49:45,307
conspiracies;
1002
01:49:46,659 --> 01:49:49,995
... taking part in it.
1003
01:49:51,894 --> 01:49:57,942
Yezhov is replacing you.
Take that back to Moscow.
1004
01:50:02,637 --> 01:50:05,953
You, stinking dwarf!
1005
01:50:07,836 --> 01:50:11,578
Your turn... will come.
1006
01:50:27,222 --> 01:50:29,555
Anya! Anya!
1007
01:50:29,645 --> 01:50:33,092
Kamenev and Zinoviev have been shot.
- What?
1008
01:50:33,429 --> 01:50:36,725
Not only them.
And I heard a rumor -
1009
01:50:37,214 --> 01:50:39,955
they implicated me.
- What?
1010
01:50:40,363 --> 01:50:44,330
How can that be?
- These days anything is possible.
1011
01:50:44,365 --> 01:50:48,027
Old comrades are falling all over its way
to implicate all the old comrades.
1012
01:50:48,076 --> 01:50:51,387
And try to save their kids.
1013
01:50:53,555 --> 01:50:57,525
If Lenin had only lived...
- Be careful!
1014
01:50:57,794 --> 01:51:00,891
Yes. Yes.
1015
01:51:03,747 --> 01:51:06,377
Police, strange things
that have happened to me.
1016
01:51:06,378 --> 01:51:09,340
He knows that I understand
why Kirov was killed.
1017
01:51:09,636 --> 01:51:11,996
I've seen through his scheme,
the mass conspirator.
1018
01:51:11,997 --> 01:51:14,666
Accuses everyone else of conspiracy.
1019
01:51:31,722 --> 01:51:35,794
Eviction notice! You have one hour!
1020
01:51:36,480 --> 01:51:39,262
But... how can we make...
1021
01:51:39,345 --> 01:51:43,679
my books, my... my papers, my...
wife, our child.
1022
01:51:43,714 --> 01:51:47,420
Those are my instructions. Out!
One hour!
1023
01:51:56,361 --> 01:52:00,004
Hello?
- Nikolai, how are you?
1024
01:52:02,539 --> 01:52:06,382
Are you there? It's me, Koba.
How things're going?
1025
01:52:07,522 --> 01:52:09,934
I... I'm being evicted!
- What?
1026
01:52:09,969 --> 01:52:13,479
The house's full of soldiers.
- Who get to the heart of this?
1027
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:17,921
No, who, the hell,
does tell you to go out?
1028
01:52:19,044 --> 01:52:23,025
For you. Comrade Stalin.
1029
01:52:28,017 --> 01:52:29,433
Hello!
1030
01:52:29,434 --> 01:52:31,519
Who gave you those orders, who? Who?
1031
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:32,975
Comrade Yezhov.
1032
01:52:32,976 --> 01:52:37,457
Comrade Yezhov?
Comrade Yezhov is an idiot!
1033
01:52:37,517 --> 01:52:41,463
Get out of there - go! Out! OUT!
1034
01:52:42,804 --> 01:52:46,465
He would say Stalin has not
a sense of humor, Yezhov.
1035
01:52:52,906 --> 01:52:56,906
February 18, 1937
1036
01:53:06,644 --> 01:53:12,664
I'm coming to drink with your husband.
- He's expecting you.
1037
01:53:13,041 --> 01:53:18,425
You took flowers
to Nadya's grave yesterday.
1038
01:53:20,028 --> 01:53:22,041
Thank you.
1039
01:53:53,599 --> 01:53:56,037
It's for you, open it.
1040
01:53:58,893 --> 01:54:05,468
If N. Bukharin is an enemy of the people
then none of us is beyond suspicion.
1041
01:54:05,503 --> 01:54:08,804
Yes, yes.
1042
01:54:11,550 --> 01:54:14,697
You understand why it's happening?
- No.
1043
01:54:15,531 --> 01:54:19,247
I thought so.
These are dangerous times, Sergo.
1044
01:54:19,757 --> 01:54:22,796
We are getting stronger,
our enemies wouldn't allow this.
1045
01:54:22,831 --> 01:54:26,217
Enemy agents have penetrated
everywhere including high positions,
1046
01:54:26,658 --> 01:54:30,321
doing all they can
to wreck our economy.
1047
01:54:30,414 --> 01:54:35,502
Anyone to follow the murder of
Kirov wants the murder of Stalin.
1048
01:54:35,537 --> 01:54:39,964
I need your help, Sergo.
- You have it.
1049
01:54:41,854 --> 01:54:48,791
I want you to testify against Bukharin.
- Bukharin?
1050
01:54:49,291 --> 01:54:52,836
Yeah, you're close to him.
Your Zina - his Anya Larina.
1051
01:54:53,236 --> 01:54:57,877
You are not in the string.
Bukharin confides in you.
1052
01:54:58,515 --> 01:55:04,838
Approve your friendship to Stalin.
Prove your loyalty to the state.
1053
01:55:11,004 --> 01:55:16,091
You want Me to denounce Bukharin?
So that you could put him on trial?
1054
01:55:16,126 --> 01:55:18,940
Shoot him! Why go through all that?
1055
01:55:18,975 --> 01:55:20,550
Make it simple.
1056
01:55:20,551 --> 01:55:24,317
Our grate leader
defends the Soviet people.
1057
01:55:24,868 --> 01:55:26,414
Here.
1058
01:55:30,030 --> 01:55:34,453
You do it.
You shoot Bukharin yourself.
1059
01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:37,944
Have you got the guts?
1060
01:55:37,979 --> 01:55:40,623
Put it down - we've seen guns before,
they don't frighten me.
1061
01:55:40,723 --> 01:55:44,726
Put it down. There.
1062
01:55:51,514 --> 01:55:54,490
So, you won't denounce Bukharin, huh?
1063
01:55:54,914 --> 01:55:58,078
When your own brother
has denounced you.
1064
01:56:00,791 --> 01:56:03,285
Your brother has confessed
that you, Sergo,
1065
01:56:03,286 --> 01:56:06,949
gave orders as commissar
of heavy industry
1066
01:56:06,984 --> 01:56:11,298
for excess sabotage and wrecking
1067
01:56:11,299 --> 01:56:13,621
in the factories.
1068
01:56:13,622 --> 01:56:16,345
My brother has confessed?
1069
01:56:16,579 --> 01:56:18,724
You must admit there had been
1070
01:56:18,732 --> 01:56:21,461
too many incidents, too many.
1071
01:56:21,462 --> 01:56:24,922
You let my brother be beaten,
tortured?
1072
01:56:26,613 --> 01:56:30,737
Bring him here to Moscow.
I want us both to see.
1073
01:56:30,787 --> 01:56:35,519
It's too late.
- Too late?
1074
01:56:35,719 --> 01:56:40,143
Too-o late... ha-ha.
- You bastard!
1075
01:56:40,158 --> 01:56:43,088
You will kill us all!
1076
01:56:43,572 --> 01:56:47,045
Oh no! Sergo, Sergo, no!
1077
01:56:47,046 --> 01:56:49,977
You won't shoot comrade Stalin.
1078
01:56:50,654 --> 01:56:53,560
If you did,
the country would be in chaos.
1079
01:56:53,561 --> 01:56:56,861
The fascist would invade...
they would take to country
1080
01:56:57,351 --> 01:57:03,342
and you would go down in history as the
man who betrayed Russia to the Germans.
1081
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:08,724
And the people oh, ...
the people would tear you,
1082
01:57:08,725 --> 01:57:11,652
your wife and your children.
1083
01:57:12,073 --> 01:57:17,100
Everyone who bears the name Ordzhonikidze,
they would tear him to pieces.
1084
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:22,830
Eat your heart.
Drink your blood.
1085
01:57:23,267 --> 01:57:26,908
No, no; no -
you won't shoot comrade Stalin.
1086
01:57:31,235 --> 01:57:37,807
I think you will shoot yourself.
1087
01:57:41,670 --> 01:57:46,174
And we'll call it, er, a heart attack
1088
01:57:46,175 --> 01:57:51,290
brought out by comrade Ordzhonikidze
has worked day and night.
1089
01:57:51,424 --> 01:57:56,280
Their hero,
the Soviet Union's glory is dead.
1090
01:57:56,983 --> 01:58:00,886
And we will bury you with all honors.
1091
01:58:01,518 --> 01:58:04,883
In the Kremlin Wall...
1092
01:58:04,981 --> 01:58:07,276
close to the tomb of Lenin.
1093
01:58:10,844 --> 01:58:13,800
No-one would ever know
what a traitor you would be
1094
01:58:13,801 --> 01:58:15,840
in any part of the country.
1095
01:58:19,673 --> 01:58:25,724
And your family would be...
safe and honored.
1096
01:58:26,076 --> 01:58:28,125
That I promise.
1097
01:58:31,378 --> 01:58:36,470
You promise?!
- That's all you have, left, Sergo.
1098
01:58:41,295 --> 01:58:42,830
Wait!
1099
01:58:47,682 --> 01:58:52,663
You were in the seminary.
You'll recognize the words:
1100
01:58:53,239 --> 01:58:58,134
"Even as I have seen, they that plow
iniquity, and sow wickedness,
1101
01:58:58,169 --> 01:59:00,499
reap the same. "
1102
01:59:00,846 --> 01:59:03,677
It's the book of Jove.
1103
01:59:04,054 --> 01:59:08,513
"By the blast of God they perish,
and by the breath of his nostrils
1104
01:59:09,026 --> 01:59:12,084
are they consumed. "
1105
01:59:55,352 --> 02:00:00,652
?Subtitles made by TheDoubleXer ?/b>
1106
02:00:14,999 --> 02:00:20,565
My father got his word this time -
Sergo was given a hero's funeral.
1107
02:00:21,065 --> 02:00:26,086
His ashes were placed in the Kremlin Wall
and Zina was left unharmed.
1108
02:00:41,619 --> 02:00:43,702
Papa!
1109
02:00:44,167 --> 02:00:47,908
My little house-keeper
has become a door-keeper.
1110
02:00:48,079 --> 02:00:51,816
Comrade Door-keeper.
1111
02:00:52,962 --> 02:00:55,672
Where did you get that dress?
1112
02:00:56,516 --> 02:01:01,564
It's too short.
Cover your knees.
1113
02:01:01,773 --> 02:01:04,743
And look at your legs - they're bare.
1114
02:01:07,250 --> 02:01:10,113
Change your dress.
But put on stockings.
1115
02:01:11,222 --> 02:01:14,221
You weren't at Sergo's funeral. Why?
1116
02:01:14,780 --> 02:01:19,675
I've... I am not feeling well.
1117
02:01:20,990 --> 02:01:24,794
I'll send the doctor.
- No, it's nothing. Don't bother.
1118
02:01:28,465 --> 02:01:33,719
I don't want to lose you, too.
So, take care of yourself.
1119
02:01:34,275 --> 02:01:36,477
Sergo didn't.
1120
02:01:37,519 --> 02:01:41,872
Heart attack.
- Yes.
1121
02:01:41,873 --> 02:01:45,175
They are all taking off.
Like birds from a branch.
1122
02:01:45,410 --> 02:01:47,866
Yeah, ha... like birds from a branch.
1123
02:01:49,063 --> 02:01:51,567
Koba, forgive me.
I'm a simple old woman.
1124
02:01:51,602 --> 02:01:53,619
No, I don't understand:
why they are missing.
1125
02:01:53,678 --> 02:01:56,328
No, how, did it, suddenly turn out
1126
02:01:56,329 --> 02:01:59,705
we had so many enemies?
- Olga!
1127
02:02:02,083 --> 02:02:04,528
These are people
we have known all our lives.
1128
02:02:04,998 --> 02:02:09,535
They are... were army officers, ...
loyal party...
1129
02:02:09,536 --> 02:02:12,851
my real friends, ... civil war heroes.
1130
02:02:13,299 --> 02:02:15,568
Now, what is happening?
1131
02:02:15,644 --> 02:02:18,912
Why are these people dying?
Can you tell me?
1132
02:02:19,384 --> 02:02:22,279
And why is everyone
who knew my daughter,
1133
02:02:22,310 --> 02:02:25,018
everyone who loved Nadya...
1134
02:02:25,118 --> 02:02:28,047
disappearing, being arrested?
1135
02:02:28,468 --> 02:02:32,136
But, who is destroying them? Is it you?
- Olga! For God's sake!
1136
02:02:32,780 --> 02:02:35,093
Why not arrest us all?
1137
02:02:35,200 --> 02:02:38,453
Yes! Why not?
1138
02:02:45,314 --> 02:02:49,794
Koba.
Be silent, be silent!
1139
02:02:49,894 --> 02:02:53,461
Why should I be silent?
Why won't let him kill me to?
1140
02:02:53,631 --> 02:02:59,947
You drove my daughter to suicide.
It was because of you she killed herself.
1141
02:03:19,698 --> 02:03:22,903
That's much better,
you'll feel better now.
1142
02:03:23,669 --> 02:03:27,626
Now it's much, much better,
comrade House-keeper.
1143
02:03:29,548 --> 02:03:32,257
My little sparrow.
1144
02:03:50,349 --> 02:03:52,910
Accused Bukharin!
1145
02:04:01,554 --> 02:04:05,344
March 2, 1938
1146
02:04:09,842 --> 02:04:15,870
Accused Bukharin! You have heard.
The other defendants testify
1147
02:04:16,517 --> 02:04:21,890
that you're a part of a conspiracy, under
the direction of the arch-traitor Trotsky,
1148
02:04:23,851 --> 02:04:27,347
to overthrow the Soviet regime.
1149
02:04:27,631 --> 02:04:33,811
To this end, numerous acts of
terrorism have been committed,
1150
02:04:34,099 --> 02:04:37,856
including the murder of Sergei Kirov
1151
02:04:38,321 --> 02:04:44,400
and even the planning of the
assassination of comrade Stalin.
1152
02:04:47,010 --> 02:04:50,083
What a miserable gang of traitors!
1153
02:04:51,134 --> 02:04:56,431
Openly sitting in my office.
What a miserable gang of traitors!
1154
02:04:58,693 --> 02:05:02,024
Confession's good for their souls.
1155
02:05:04,344 --> 02:05:07,069
And now Bukharin...
1156
02:05:11,743 --> 02:05:15,176
The climax of our play.
1157
02:05:30,251 --> 02:05:37,213
We have all heard the accused Yagoda
state that you discussed with him
1158
02:05:37,477 --> 02:05:40,276
a plot to murder Sergei Kirov.
1159
02:05:40,372 --> 02:05:43,708
I can't imagine why he said that.
1160
02:05:43,950 --> 02:05:47,444
There has been no such discussion.
1161
02:05:50,310 --> 02:05:55,088
I knew nothing of any scheme
to murder Kirov!
1162
02:05:56,390 --> 02:05:59,549
According to Yagoda testimony,
Kirov...
1163
02:06:01,207 --> 02:06:07,640
You didn't break him, huh?
How could you fail?
1164
02:06:10,033 --> 02:06:13,583
Core recess. Core recess.
1165
02:06:14,210 --> 02:06:16,234
You had months and months...
1166
02:06:16,835 --> 02:06:19,962
Let me have him for one night...
1167
02:06:20,241 --> 02:06:22,655
I'll have him confess
he is the king of England.
1168
02:06:23,255 --> 02:06:27,829
I have done my duty.
I've done everything you asked;
1169
02:06:28,029 --> 02:06:32,242
even my own deputy.
I am myself disclosed.
1170
02:06:32,470 --> 02:06:36,829
Top officials under your command,
plotting against Stalin.
1171
02:06:36,982 --> 02:06:39,664
And you supposingly are not involved?
1172
02:06:41,530 --> 02:06:43,584
Involved, involved?!
1173
02:06:43,985 --> 02:06:50,661
You yourself told me to purge the
security apparatus to get new people.
1174
02:06:50,662 --> 02:06:53,586
Yezhov, Yezhov, you monster!
1175
02:06:53,733 --> 02:06:57,343
Are you trying to tell me you
deliberately allowed people to be...
1176
02:06:57,344 --> 02:07:00,354
purged?! To be killed?!
1177
02:07:00,662 --> 02:07:02,934
What have you done, Yezhov?
1178
02:07:02,958 --> 02:07:07,250
How could you, Possibly,
Pay for your terrible crimes?
1179
02:07:44,409 --> 02:07:47,356
For comrade Stalin.
1180
02:09:24,977 --> 02:09:28,942
I beg you to spare my wife and child.
1181
02:11:25,877 --> 02:11:28,688
On March 12th 1939 without warning,
1182
02:11:28,689 --> 02:11:32,777
the German Army marched
over the Austrian border.
1183
02:11:49,133 --> 02:11:51,950
It was really all-awaited
full-scale invasion test,
1184
02:11:52,073 --> 02:11:55,810
and Hitler rode and triumphed
in Vienna.
1185
02:11:58,108 --> 02:12:01,994
An ominous development.
- You think so? I don't know, I...
1186
02:12:01,995 --> 02:12:06,293
You've got to admire Hitler - nobody
wants it and he isn't afraid to go for it.
1187
02:12:06,514 --> 02:12:11,398
He scares the British and French but
not comrade Stalin.
1188
02:12:11,585 --> 02:12:15,458
He's a fascist. Wants to destroy us.
He says it over and over.
1189
02:12:15,493 --> 02:12:18,171
He says a lot of things we all do.
1190
02:12:18,671 --> 02:12:20,749
I think right now
Hitler is looking east
1191
02:12:21,373 --> 02:12:25,205
and he's saying that:
"Stalin, I can work with him. "
1192
02:12:31,135 --> 02:12:33,168
So, is it done?
1193
02:12:34,798 --> 02:12:38,378
I gave it the personal touch.
1194
02:12:38,604 --> 02:12:44,915
Did he say anything?
- He asked me to give you this.
1195
02:12:54,381 --> 02:12:59,508
"Koba, why did you need my death?
Why?"
1196
02:13:12,961 --> 02:13:16,247
And this is what: Trotsky -
1197
02:13:17,788 --> 02:13:20,356
how did he get through our fingers?
1198
02:13:20,944 --> 02:13:23,460
He lives in Mexico City.
1199
02:13:23,745 --> 02:13:27,476
In that house
they converted into a fortress.
1200
02:13:29,118 --> 02:13:31,956
Why don't you get rid of him?
1201
02:13:41,099 --> 02:13:44,274
Yakov had gone through military school
and joined the army.
1202
02:13:44,438 --> 02:13:48,038
All in a vain attempt to win
our father's approval.
1203
02:13:49,663 --> 02:13:51,742
You have a grand-daughter!
1204
02:13:52,625 --> 02:13:55,874
So, you're going to be
an artillery officer?
1205
02:13:56,534 --> 02:14:01,561
Yes. We are calling her...
- I hope you don't show on our own lines.
1206
02:14:04,800 --> 02:14:06,854
I will do my duty.
1207
02:14:07,354 --> 02:14:09,406
With all the stretch in the higher
command lieutenants like you
1208
02:14:10,106 --> 02:14:13,177
may be commanding divisions.
1209
02:14:15,377 --> 02:14:18,378
I will do whatever is required of me.
1210
02:14:18,617 --> 02:14:20,201
Yakov!
1211
02:15:06,945 --> 02:15:11,542
June 22, 1941
1212
02:15:18,845 --> 02:15:23,360
So. What is the situation here?
1213
02:15:24,371 --> 02:15:27,684
The Germans are attacking everything.
1214
02:15:27,799 --> 02:15:32,899
There! Panzers have penetrated
our lines, their air force dominates...
1215
02:15:33,422 --> 02:15:38,954
We've lost almost 1000 aircrafts.
- A 1000 - how could that be?
1216
02:15:39,638 --> 02:15:43,482
Most were destroyed on the ground.
- On the ground?!
1217
02:15:43,645 --> 02:15:49,077
Despite warnings and recommendations
they were left in forward positions.
1218
02:15:49,277 --> 02:15:54,583
Now. Counter-attack!
Here, ... here and here!!!
1219
02:15:57,209 --> 02:15:59,639
Koba,
you don't understand the situation?
1220
02:15:59,640 --> 02:16:03,467
Our front is crumbling; our forces are
retreating trying to avoid capture!
1221
02:16:03,667 --> 02:16:06,776
No capture. No retreat,
no surrender. Attack!
1222
02:16:06,976 --> 02:16:09,540
Beria! Beria!
1223
02:16:10,224 --> 02:16:13,306
Bring the security troops
shoot anyone trying to retreat.
1224
02:16:13,521 --> 02:16:15,622
Shoot our own man!?
1225
02:16:15,623 --> 02:16:19,547
Yes, and we'll shoot you, too!
You, incompetent foo-o-ol!
1226
02:16:19,548 --> 02:16:21,229
Koba!
1227
02:16:23,401 --> 02:16:25,452
How can you say that!?
1228
02:16:25,669 --> 02:16:27,860
Who killed the whole
our best-of generals?
1229
02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:30,059
40 000 of our best officers.
1230
02:16:30,060 --> 02:16:32,639
Called them enemies of the people,
had them shot?
1231
02:16:33,020 --> 02:16:35,610
Who trusted Hitler?
Who said he would not attack us?
1232
02:16:35,727 --> 02:16:39,250
Voroshilov? NO!
It was you!
1233
02:16:39,251 --> 02:16:41,583
It Was YOU!
1234
02:17:48,058 --> 02:17:52,693
More! You do it more! More!
1235
02:18:32,916 --> 02:18:34,467
Koba.
1236
02:18:43,191 --> 02:18:44,865
Koba.
1237
02:18:57,358 --> 02:18:59,050
Koba,
1238
02:18:59,138 --> 02:19:01,479
It's been ten days.
1239
02:19:05,551 --> 02:19:11,064
We're waiting for you.
No-one could do anything.
1240
02:19:15,714 --> 02:19:18,550
Koba, they love you!
1241
02:19:20,701 --> 02:19:23,412
They are calling for you.
1242
02:19:24,821 --> 02:19:27,847
"Comrade Stalin,
1243
02:19:27,934 --> 02:19:31,917
save us!"
- Da.
1244
02:19:32,626 --> 02:19:37,534
"Save us!", they say. "Save us!"
1245
02:19:49,926 --> 02:19:51,450
Klim.
1246
02:20:05,546 --> 02:20:07,869
They didn't kill you?
1247
02:20:11,648 --> 02:20:13,722
How could they?
1248
02:20:13,929 --> 02:20:18,910
Without Stalin's orders?
- Da!
1249
02:20:26,792 --> 02:20:31,949
Comrades. Citizens.
Brothers and sisters.
1250
02:20:34,121 --> 02:20:39,989
We are united in the patriotic war
against an enemy who is trying
1251
02:20:40,086 --> 02:20:42,610
to turn our people
1252
02:20:44,810 --> 02:20:48,235
into slaves of the Germans.
1253
02:20:53,289 --> 02:20:56,253
We will resist.
1254
02:20:57,295 --> 02:21:00,662
We will hound and annihilate
the enemy.
1255
02:21:00,973 --> 02:21:04,414
We will show no mercy.
1256
02:21:04,741 --> 02:21:07,955
Hitler will go the way of Napoleon...
1257
02:21:08,557 --> 02:21:13,941
to defeat, ... to despair...
1258
02:21:16,995 --> 02:21:20,000
and to his death!
1259
02:21:37,275 --> 02:21:42,030
Your son, Yakov,
has been taken prisoner.
1260
02:21:49,447 --> 02:21:53,300
I have no son Yakov, hum, ... ?
1261
02:21:55,044 --> 02:21:56,573
No.
1262
02:22:03,685 --> 02:22:05,789
What you're waiting for?!
1263
02:22:16,312 --> 02:22:19,217
I hardly saw my father during the war.
1264
02:22:19,540 --> 02:22:23,504
When he learned that Yakov was killed
trying to escape from a German camp
1265
02:22:24,114 --> 02:22:26,246
he never told me.
1266
02:22:26,646 --> 02:22:28,661
The Germans reached
the gates of Moscow itself
1267
02:22:29,261 --> 02:22:33,600
and they surrounded Stalingrad, too.
When we finally pushed them back
1268
02:22:34,172 --> 02:22:37,088
20 million of our people had died.
1269
02:22:44,096 --> 02:22:48,595
It wasn't until near the end of the war,
at the burial of my grand-father,
1270
02:22:48,917 --> 02:22:51,644
that I saw my father again.
1271
02:22:51,877 --> 02:22:54,828
February 1945
1272
02:22:55,220 --> 02:22:59,681
It was the first time our family
had been together for years.
1273
02:23:03,247 --> 02:23:07,792
At least Sergei knew
we did everything we could.
1274
02:23:08,151 --> 02:23:10,735
The best doctors...
1275
02:23:11,659 --> 02:23:14,690
He died of silence,
he didn't die of cancer.
1276
02:23:14,746 --> 02:23:18,665
Kept in silence when his friends,
his comrades...
1277
02:23:18,666 --> 02:23:22,973
were sent to prison, were killed.
1278
02:23:26,403 --> 02:23:30,311
Keep your mouth shut!
1279
02:23:30,811 --> 02:23:33,470
What you have done, you, old bitch?
1280
02:23:34,165 --> 02:23:39,416
Look at my son, the general!
Can you stand on your own feet, Vasily?
1281
02:23:43,890 --> 02:23:49,320
And you, Svetlana? Don't use that as an
excuse to bring your Jew-husband around.
1282
02:23:49,666 --> 02:23:53,317
What did you teach them -
to raise my son to be a drunk?
1283
02:23:53,664 --> 02:23:56,981
And my daughter - do I have to say?
1284
02:23:57,257 --> 02:23:59,206
What could I've expected?
1285
02:23:59,207 --> 02:24:04,846
Did you teach your own daughter
to be loyal to her husband?
1286
02:24:07,937 --> 02:24:13,592
And you're trying to turn them
against me. Sergei but he knew me.
1287
02:24:14,176 --> 02:24:16,890
Sergei knew me.
1288
02:24:33,745 --> 02:24:37,048
The drunk - put him in jail
for a while, sober him up.
1289
02:24:37,438 --> 02:24:40,389
My family - what a curse they are.
1290
02:25:17,015 --> 02:25:19,889
The Ukrainian SSR
1291
02:25:20,289 --> 02:25:24,759
thanks our liberator,
the great comrade Stalin
1292
02:25:24,859 --> 02:25:27,895
best friend of all children!
1293
02:25:36,868 --> 02:25:41,512
The Uzbek SSR
thanks our great leader:
1294
02:25:41,513 --> 02:25:45,061
the genius comrade Stalin for Victory!
1295
02:26:01,513 --> 02:26:07,172
We do not thank comrade Stalin
for our victory.
1296
02:26:08,628 --> 02:26:11,803
We all know it was not Stalin
who defeated the Germans.
1297
02:26:11,812 --> 02:26:14,034
Comrade Stalin it was You!
1298
02:26:17,740 --> 02:26:22,754
We do not thank comrade Stalin
for our victory.
1299
02:26:25,609 --> 02:26:29,501
Our "Thanks" goes to the great
1300
02:26:30,926 --> 02:26:33,563
Russian people!
1301
02:26:34,073 --> 02:26:38,500
Your victory is a declaration to the
world that the Russian people
1302
02:26:38,700 --> 02:26:40,734
believe in a better future
1303
02:26:40,735 --> 02:26:42,733
and stand ready to make
1304
02:26:42,734 --> 02:26:47,702
whatever sacrifice is a necessary
to achieve the great construction
1305
02:26:48,303 --> 02:26:50,634
of socialism.
1306
02:27:11,475 --> 02:27:15,353
In the winter of 1950
my father sent for me.
1307
02:27:15,667 --> 02:27:18,016
I had heard
that his memory was fading.
1308
02:27:18,216 --> 02:27:21,261
And that he was suspicious
of everyone around him.
1309
02:27:21,265 --> 02:27:23,315
Now he wanted to see me.
1310
02:27:23,357 --> 02:27:27,367
And for the fist time his grandson,
Josef.
1311
02:27:28,121 --> 02:27:32,285
Wait! Give mama your hand.
1312
02:28:10,997 --> 02:28:13,114
Go to grandpa.
1313
02:28:41,578 --> 02:28:44,222
He has Jewish eyes.
1314
02:28:51,609 --> 02:28:54,179
Look! Who's that man?
1315
02:28:55,706 --> 02:28:59,920
He's someone who makes sure
that everything is all-right.
1316
02:28:59,921 --> 02:29:02,198
Don't ask so many questions.
- Why?
1317
02:29:02,214 --> 02:29:04,805
Because I think you don't have to know.
- Why?
1318
02:29:04,807 --> 02:29:09,507
Why, why... a real Jew.
1319
02:29:14,653 --> 02:29:18,229
I always carry something
for the squirrels.
1320
02:29:18,563 --> 02:29:22,755
See. Now, here. You feed it.
1321
02:29:22,756 --> 02:29:26,989
Here. Hold it out. You feed it.
Feed it.
1322
02:29:27,306 --> 02:29:31,175
You feed it.
1323
02:29:33,194 --> 02:29:36,163
Why that look?
1324
02:29:36,310 --> 02:29:39,006
I want you to free Anya Bukharin.
1325
02:29:39,571 --> 02:29:42,290
It has a beautiful red tail.
It won't bite it.
1326
02:29:43,775 --> 02:29:45,788
Mind your business!
1327
02:29:45,789 --> 02:29:48,071
You haven't the slidest idea of what
you're talking about.
1328
02:29:48,072 --> 02:29:49,782
She's harmless.
1329
02:29:49,783 --> 02:29:52,088
You know about harmless;
what, the hell, you know?
1330
02:29:52,089 --> 02:29:55,060
I know people are disappearing again.
1331
02:29:55,471 --> 02:29:58,133
Enemies!
1332
02:30:00,325 --> 02:30:02,383
Go to your mama.
1333
02:30:02,724 --> 02:30:05,669
They had no adherence to
the Soviet Union.
1334
02:30:05,934 --> 02:30:08,683
Enemies!
1335
02:30:26,905 --> 02:30:30,474
Grandpa's nice.
- Yes.
1336
02:30:37,608 --> 02:30:42,331
Well. For a man your age,
1337
02:30:42,332 --> 02:30:46,383
73,
you have a remarkable constitution.
1338
02:30:46,543 --> 02:30:52,450
In the Caucasus a man of 70 is still young.
He can mount a horse... or a woman.
1339
02:30:54,229 --> 02:30:59,490
But still...
you have had discus spills and...
1340
02:31:00,099 --> 02:31:02,180
perhaps angina.
1341
02:31:03,128 --> 02:31:05,282
And...
1342
02:31:07,341 --> 02:31:10,684
Your blood pressure
is dangerously high.
1343
02:31:10,886 --> 02:31:15,797
What do you recommend?
- As little work as possible.
1344
02:31:16,241 --> 02:31:20,023
Fruits, vegetables, ...
injections of vitamins.
1345
02:31:20,024 --> 02:31:21,909
No injection, no.
1346
02:31:21,944 --> 02:31:24,159
I will write a prescription.
1347
02:31:24,459 --> 02:31:28,227
No prescriptions.
I have my own remedy.
1348
02:31:28,702 --> 02:31:31,693
Go away, don't work, rest...
1349
02:31:32,193 --> 02:31:35,209
Isn't that what they told Lenin?
1350
02:31:35,859 --> 02:31:38,672
Thank you, Vinogradov.
1351
02:31:39,361 --> 02:31:42,397
You may go, now!
1352
02:32:18,609 --> 02:32:21,016
Yes, thank you.
1353
02:32:32,238 --> 02:32:35,030
No!... No!
1354
02:32:35,650 --> 02:32:37,430
No!
1355
02:32:40,446 --> 02:32:44,476
Taste it, Lavrenti!
- I don't like soup.
1356
02:32:44,913 --> 02:32:47,993
Taste it!
1357
02:33:01,853 --> 02:33:08,352
Look how your father spends his nights -
with this boring bunch of old men.
1358
02:33:09,993 --> 02:33:12,744
Where're you going?
- Home.
1359
02:33:13,044 --> 02:33:14,631
No, no! Stay!
1360
02:33:15,460 --> 02:33:18,228
A promise from papa:
it will get more interesting.
1361
02:33:18,428 --> 02:33:22,146
Now, sit down. Sit.
1362
02:33:23,816 --> 02:33:27,636
You eat, Lavrenti!
1363
02:33:28,999 --> 02:33:32,090
We have so far.
1364
02:33:32,590 --> 02:33:35,827
Fun at the expense of this four
until you eat.
1365
02:33:42,912 --> 02:33:45,669
Dance Nikita!
- No, no, no. With these feet... ?!
1366
02:33:45,670 --> 02:33:49,550
No, you go there!
- Dance Nikita!
1367
02:33:53,921 --> 02:33:56,018
Why don't you go who told me?
1368
02:33:56,165 --> 02:33:59,007
But don't be shy, dance!
1369
02:34:26,826 --> 02:34:29,700
Dance Lavrenti!
1370
02:35:26,225 --> 02:35:28,490
I'm out of breath.
1371
02:35:36,958 --> 02:35:39,707
I'm going old.
- No.
1372
02:35:42,801 --> 02:35:47,169
No, no. You'll live forever.
1373
02:35:49,834 --> 02:35:51,862
Now, we have to...
1374
02:35:54,468 --> 02:35:58,266
Who could follow Stalin,
who would follow Stalin?
1375
02:35:59,307 --> 02:36:01,823
None of you is worthy.
1376
02:36:02,077 --> 02:36:03,674
So:
1377
02:36:03,675 --> 02:36:07,446
I'm going to rid myself of all of you.
1378
02:36:18,459 --> 02:36:21,335
This soup you've eaten...
1379
02:36:22,011 --> 02:36:24,082
was poisoned.
1380
02:36:26,348 --> 02:36:28,916
As you're gonna see,
I didn't touch mine.
1381
02:36:29,365 --> 02:36:31,375
Papa.
1382
02:36:33,789 --> 02:36:36,118
You're joking, Koba.
1383
02:36:36,634 --> 02:36:39,262
No. No.
1384
02:36:42,916 --> 02:36:46,013
You have to be.
1385
02:37:02,994 --> 02:37:05,678
And you see... this is
1386
02:37:06,582 --> 02:37:09,038
fun.
1387
02:37:17,898 --> 02:37:19,772
Yes! Yes!
1388
02:37:25,915 --> 02:37:31,473
But you, all of you:
what do you think would happen...
1389
02:37:35,631 --> 02:37:38,012
without Stalin?
1390
02:37:52,013 --> 02:37:55,300
Svetlana, come.
1391
02:38:14,657 --> 02:38:17,635
Come here. Close the door. Come.
1392
02:38:39,074 --> 02:38:43,223
You know, I loved your mother.
Beautiful,
1393
02:38:44,418 --> 02:38:46,807
but she... was a fool this woman.
1394
02:38:46,838 --> 02:38:48,967
She didn't understand the situation;
1395
02:38:48,968 --> 02:38:51,656
what had happened, what I had to do.
1396
02:38:53,274 --> 02:38:56,935
She listened to certain people and
she turned against me.
1397
02:38:59,623 --> 02:39:01,990
She became my enemy...
1398
02:39:03,934 --> 02:39:09,176
and then she betrayed me.
She killed herself.
1399
02:39:13,661 --> 02:39:18,484
You killed yourself
to strike a plot against me.
1400
02:39:18,928 --> 02:39:20,525
Why?
1401
02:39:21,157 --> 02:39:23,427
It was your fault.
1402
02:39:23,928 --> 02:39:26,464
You caused it.
1403
02:39:38,787 --> 02:39:40,724
You're just like her.
1404
02:39:40,725 --> 02:39:43,894
You listen to my enemy -
Jews full of lethal poison.
1405
02:39:44,394 --> 02:39:46,420
Just that she did.
1406
02:39:46,421 --> 02:39:49,328
You let them turn you against me.
1407
02:39:52,062 --> 02:39:54,578
And who they are
I'll take good care of them.
1408
02:39:54,579 --> 02:39:56,479
Are you thinking
I don't know what you say?
1409
02:39:56,480 --> 02:39:58,576
I know! Stalin knows.
1410
02:39:59,316 --> 02:40:01,244
I know what you say,
1411
02:40:01,245 --> 02:40:04,000
what you do; who you screw.
1412
02:40:04,329 --> 02:40:07,031
I know everything.
1413
02:40:09,750 --> 02:40:12,622
Get out of here.
1414
02:40:28,882 --> 02:40:31,113
Papa.
1415
02:40:46,874 --> 02:40:51,829
This is a baby pig. For you.
1416
02:40:53,067 --> 02:40:54,701
Thank you.
1417
02:41:13,421 --> 02:41:16,034
Two bad girls.
1418
02:41:25,993 --> 02:41:29,457
Jimmy Druedack.
1419
02:41:29,866 --> 02:41:34,787
My time has come.
Jimmy Druedack.
1420
02:41:36,742 --> 02:41:38,112
Here!
1421
02:41:38,113 --> 02:41:40,165
Paste.
1422
02:41:43,122 --> 02:41:46,822
March 5, 1953
1423
02:41:57,202 --> 02:41:59,538
Come with us, please!
1424
02:42:01,992 --> 02:42:04,458
Go! Go forth!
1425
02:42:10,797 --> 02:42:12,836
You're a doctor, aren't you?
1426
02:42:12,837 --> 02:42:14,870
Why don't you take care
of his hand properly!
1427
02:42:15,270 --> 02:42:17,393
I'm sorry.
1428
02:42:40,783 --> 02:42:45,488
A hemorrhage... in his brain.
1429
02:42:47,366 --> 02:42:50,732
He can't... breath.
1430
02:42:54,947 --> 02:42:58,133
Let him suffer!
1431
02:42:58,688 --> 02:43:02,326
Murdering bastard!
1432
02:43:03,499 --> 02:43:07,631
Oh, forgive me! Forgive me!
1433
02:44:03,456 --> 02:44:05,594
Have you wondered... ?
1434
02:44:05,928 --> 02:44:08,013
Why did Beria...
1435
02:44:08,014 --> 02:44:11,176
waited a day, before calling
the doctor?
1436
02:44:11,376 --> 02:44:13,690
Now, I've wondered.
1437
02:44:15,390 --> 02:44:18,051
He'll try to take power.
1438
02:44:18,351 --> 02:44:21,216
It'll be as bad as before.
1439
02:44:22,391 --> 02:44:25,180
You said "as bad"?
1440
02:44:27,586 --> 02:44:30,771
I did?
- You did.
1441
02:44:30,772 --> 02:44:34,285
What have you thought about it?
1442
02:44:34,764 --> 02:44:37,692
About what we'll say
after Stalin dies.
1443
02:44:39,200 --> 02:44:43,428
About what?
- His crimes.
1444
02:44:44,020 --> 02:44:48,787
What crimes?
- Millions.
1445
02:44:50,504 --> 02:44:53,810
Nikita. You are too emotional.
You talk too much.
1446
02:44:54,110 --> 02:44:57,080
Who are we to judge Stalin?
1447
02:44:57,380 --> 02:45:00,263
Before him we were a weak
backward country... and now look at us:
1448
02:45:00,661 --> 02:45:04,388
we control half of Europe.
The whole of China.
1449
02:45:05,103 --> 02:45:07,159
We have the atomic bomb.
1450
02:45:07,259 --> 02:45:09,682
We command a respect.
1451
02:45:09,683 --> 02:45:13,599
Without Stalin...
it would've taken 20 years longer.
1452
02:45:13,634 --> 02:45:16,035
I don't believe that.
1453
02:45:17,540 --> 02:45:23,308
Without the purges, the arrests,
the killings...
1454
02:45:23,942 --> 02:45:26,183
Without Stalin
1455
02:45:26,184 --> 02:45:28,958
we could've been a great nation.
1456
02:45:29,687 --> 02:45:34,414
Our history required Stalin.
1457
02:46:14,574 --> 02:46:19,654
Papa!
Papa!
1458
02:46:50,435 --> 02:46:52,596
Stop it, please.
1459
02:46:52,796 --> 02:46:55,695
Can't you see the man is dead?
1460
02:47:13,800 --> 02:47:18,939
in Russian: To whom
you are leaving me... My God... .
1461
02:47:23,095 --> 02:47:26,294
in Russian: I'll be waiting for you...
1462
02:47:50,704 --> 02:47:53,695
Three months after Stalin's death,
1463
02:47:53,696 --> 02:47:58,277
Lavrenti Beria was executed
by his former associates.
1464
02:47:58,862 --> 02:48:02,312
Three years later, Nikita Khrushchev
began to reveal publicly
1465
02:48:02,313 --> 02:48:05,305
the nature and extent
of Stalin's crimes.
1466
02:48:20,350 --> 02:48:26,053
Svetlana Alliluyeva is alive
and lives in England.
1467
02:49:01,673 --> 02:49:12,613
Josef Stalin's crimes caused the deaths
of tens of millions of Soviet citizens.
