Stalin: Inside the Terror

Year: 2003
Runtime: 90 min
Type: Movie
Genre: Documentary

Overview

This program is an overview of the life and career of Joseph Stalin. It concentrates on describing and attempting to explain the origins of the policy of โ€œterrorโ€ instigated by Stalin as leader of the USSR. There are interviews with surviving family members and experts all of whom attempt some sort of personality โ€œanalysisโ€ of the dictator to explain his behaviour and policies. Another question that is examined is, given his record of โ€œterrorโ€, why was he so popular? Why did so many Russians mourn his death in 1953? This could be an overview and introduction to a study of both Stalin and USSR in the post revolution period.
