    Videographer: Pls focus on the photos when the speaker is talking about them. He displays those slides to augment his talk. Pls direct your camera at all times to where you'd expect members of the audience to direct their attentions. Thanks.

    Oddly enough though Beria was no doubt a monster, he was way ahead of his time in the reforms he proposed, ending the arms race, allowing the eastern European countries to make their own decisions(sort of), reunification of Germany, the end of the Gulag(Beria knew the slave labor system was inefficient) and I think he was even proposing a return to the new economic system that Lenin had created.

    Stalin has to be one of my favorite leaders of all time
    I think he was also a fabricated or placed world leader
    I think this because his story is to convenient
    He is the ultimate self made man
    The early days of the Russian revolution were filled with treachery and political espionage.
    Town hall like revolutionary meetings would take place. They would be raided by the government or tribal war would break out between revolutionary members.
    Stalin excelled in this political environment. Then while attending fight the government political meetings he robbed a bank with a gun to fund them...
    Balls...
    Then after he started making a name for himself with his balls of steel he started being the message boy or errand boy for the head general or rabble rouser and politician of the revolution Lenin.
    He was like Billy the kid and a super villains side kick at the same time.
    Before he grew up into the full leadership role when Lenin died.
    Then stalin beats Hitler and not just beats him...its like the ultimate underdog come back in history...
    Russia at first gets it ass kicked all they can do is lose while they rebuild every factory and tank on the opposite side of country away from enemy because every thing gets destroyed
    Hitler gets to like squinting eye sight of Moscow
    Then winter and cold saves the Russian army because the nazi's are all on meth in summer uniforms
    Then the Russian tanks and factories finish and it's so close Russians are gassing and loading the tanks with ammo as they weld em and drive em out to the front lines of Moscow battlefield without even painting the tanks
    Then the Russians hold the fronts and push them back all the way to Berlin retaking and waving Russian flags as they go
    Hes like the ultimate underdog self made man
    And his name means
    Steel
    In English it translates to Mr Steel
    Coincidentally?
    Or maybe propaganda myth made to inspire others
    Maybe every Russian was Mr. Steel...

      Under the Lend-Lease Act Roosevelt sent the Soviet union supplies, and tear and steel and ammunition to the Soviet union to fight against Germany. I wonder how well the Soviet union would’ve faired without those supplies. PS very interesting on our part as it just brings up more questions.

      How many people died under capitalism over 150 years for to achieve what the SU achieved in 30 to 40 years. 14 capitalist countries attacked the SU at birth and tried to throttle it-but it survive in desperation and on a war footing and a war economy until 1990. How many nations were wiped off the face of the earth for to make way for the USA? How many millions were killed in Congo by the (little) Belgium just to provide rubber......6 million. How many did the British (Great) kill by the gun and by starvation in India? The 'study' of Stalin is a means of selling books to people who have been mentally primed by anti-communist propaganda from the 1910's to the present day.
