“Perhaps a slight demotion, Minister for Fisheries.”
You cannot trust a weak person - Steve Buscemi
He wasn't that weak. He and Lazar Kaganovich were the last of Stalin's inner circle to die, 1988 and 1991 respectively. Kaganovich lived to see the birth of the Soviet Union as well as see it go well into its death throes. The union itself died six months after he did. Malenkov also was around at the beginning and lived through most of Soviet history to the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union. Two of the last of the O.G. Bolsheviks gone just like that back then.
@@chrismc410 He should have chosen to remain General Secretary of the party instead of prime-minister. Within the party there was the source of power!. Imagine he'd have ruled the Soviet Union after Stalin into the 80s. Probably the whole world would be Sovietized by now
One reason why he did not survive was because he tried to stamp out corruption/extra cash payments. This angered the bureaucracy and gave Nikita K. more grounds to take power. He was not weak, he was effectively Stalin’s right hand man until the end of Stalin’s life. Beria and Molotov were next to be shot had Stalin lived longer.
@@oviatb " Probably the whole world would be Sovietized by now"
Delusional like all communism.
@@nonegone7170 anyway let's wait 3 more decades to catch up with his prediction that in 100 years from then communism will have won
Bye bye, Georgy Maximilianovich!!!
Some Soviet Leaders look like their bellies are full, like they never missed a meal. Interesting.
your point?
@@user-dc9oq2pr6v Can you read? Try to decide for yourself what I mean.
@@hereef1 leader are fat = people starving. nice logic. also youre probably arabic so youre one to talk
If you look a little closer, every Soviet or now Russian leader or military officer has a big belly. Only maybe Putin jumps out of that matrix, but everyone else doesn't miss a single meal and every meal is plentiful.
Funny because after dragging their agricultural production out of the medieval era and slaughtering the nazis the Soviet people ate better than the Yankees did and if we're gonna be honest still do compared to modern America, land of with the freedom to starve to death and home of the bootlickers that worship their butchers
Sorry Malenkov mate, might've overestimated the USSR a tad there.
@Martin Parvanov 🇧🇬 He was a smart fella but he just didn't have the strength within the Politburo to keep himself on top. If he had somehow stayed, I envision he would've transformed the union into something more akin to modern china as he was far more pragmatic with his economics and realised how fabulously wealthy and powerful the country could be if only it took steps towards integrating itself economiaclly with the rest of the world.
@@georgegeorgsonsonofgeorgea2940 Sadly he was close allied of tyrant and mass murderer, Jozef Stalin during his bloody regime.
@@shahrulamar5358 He was even a perpetrator of some of the atrocities. He is no angel!
@@adjeiboateng6720 RIP Mikhail Gorbachev (1931 - 2022) A peacemaker. 🇷🇺
@@shahrulamar5358 From the Soviet perspective, he was a weak leader
Well at least he had good looks...
