  • He said God speed? I thought the Soviets....ah never mind. Good times.

  • neutral switzerland ftw

  • This is my favourite Red Alert video! :D I even have it as a MP3 for years already :)

  • This dialog/acting totally beats the shit out of any high budget big name shit that EA can rush out to get a half assed product on the shelves. Its dark. And deep, and the subtle Kane appearances keeps you guessing/playing until the end of the campaign.

  • I have a few old Soviet bookd (from the 1970's) at home. The language they use, especially when they talk about history or politics is very much like Stalin's in this video.

    Interestingly, Stalin is not mentioned in those books at all. At that time period, the cult of his personality was denounced. Talking about him positively was condiered to be an expression of "bad taste" (and could possibly get you in trouble).

  • they call me killer...

  • when you kill 5 dislikers, it's a statistic.

  • i think its the only briefing where stalyn directly adress a full conversation to the commander, the rest of the time he just give orders

    i do agree with the actor's performance and the use of (one million death is astatistic) quote wich is an actual quote from him

  • Russia?????? It was USSR!!!

  • @Sinelnyy

    Russia, USSR, CCCP, Soviet Union are all the same.

  • @MRRWJ2 For an american dumbass it is!!!

  • @Sinelnyy

    Im English. LOL trolling has been evaded.

  • @MRRWJ2 It's relative, depends on context. But, hey! haters gonna hate, and youtubers gonna youtube (aka trolling) trololololo

  • @MRRWJ2 Hold on! The Soviet Union (English abbrivation is USSR, Union of the Socialist Soviet Republics; and the Russian abbrivation is CCCP, Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик) consisted of many republics. Russia was only one of them, though the biggest of them all. It would be similar to say that Washington state and United States are the same thing =)

  • Russian accent sucks

  • Lol although when this game came out(1996 i think) I didn't really know what communism was, whenever I watch this cut scene today, I think "Damn, this is some serious communist USSR shit!"

  • 5 users are enemies of the people

  • @Narrava make that 6

  • He.. he promoted me!!!

    HUZZAH!!!

    Glorious expedition comrade!!

  • EA=eat asshole

  • Damn. That was fucking brilliant. I don't care if he's not really stalin, that was a brilliant performance

  • Stalin sure uses the word "the people" a lot in his sentences. :P

  • Enemies of the people...be afraid

  • In real life, Stalin would not be so warm to the Command. He would proberly have him killed

  • @RiddleAW He does one cutscence :/

  • If they are russian, why do they speak english?

  • @NIDORAX so you could imagine being russian understanding what he says

  • @NIDORAX LOL LOL

  • Man, this is Westwood

  • lol

  • this guy is such a kickass actor ! and he even kinda looks like stalin himself !

  • @MrKiljeaden89

    Because it IS Stalin.

  • only lenin was for the people

  • @Skinnyoompalumpa

    not really, he was on the face of it just a poltiical scientist who developed theories about socialism and communism. it was stalin who had the guts to use the knowledge and implement the total dictatorship lenin had developed.

    but dont get me wrong - communism was really fucked up, the mistake was kinda lenin and stalin, stalin moreso than anyone else

  • @Skinnyoompalumpa

    lawl you dont know shit... lenin was just as crooked and inhumane as stalin himself. both of them perverted the socialist idea. guess they burn in hell along with hitler, pol pot and all the other bastards, that slaughtered their own people...

  • @morbionicle

    o rly

  • Hwaht !

  • I luv dat map :D

  • For the people!

  • I loved Stalin's quote he spoke at the beginning. There was just something that made it so epic.

  • i thought he is going to promote me a cigar

  • Comment removed

  • did stalin just say "God speed?"

  • geat comrade Stalin ... Ura Ura Ura

  • oh, a medal

    problem is commanders seem to die off when they get a medal from Stalin as much to say, your done, next please

  • Allow me to feel proud by receiving a promotion from Stalin. It's just a game, after all.

  • i dont think i would have dared to sit like this and talk to stalin,make one "funny look" at him and youre dead ;D

  • RA1 was cheesy, but the cutscenes were actually somewhat convincing and could ALMOST be taken seriously.

    Not so for RA2 or anything made afterward. Fuck EA.

  • it was that 'cheesiness' factor that made westwoods games videos awesome...they really put thought and effort into their videos, despite the fact that they didnt have a big budget.

  • RA2 wasn't bad,

    but i tottaly agree with tiberium wars and red alert 3 they started to suck really bad,

    tiberum wars was ok, but the next one and last one will be the greatest pile of crap

  • EA SUCKS, westwood is better

  • Agreed. Westwood was sooooo much better!

  • @jackuy12345 I love you, man.

  • excellent acting Westwood ftw

  • Comment removed

  • YEah excellent acting...

    its a game for god sake dont take it too personal .. his acting is so good it made it seem real!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Ok :D

  • Godspeed, huh? Interesting use of word for a communist who doesn't believe in God. ;)

  • I always loved this video, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.

  • In this context, the red star became infamous as a symbol of totalitarianism and state terror, as well as an occupation symbol, in many countries. The star has since served as a symbol representing socialism of all varieties.

  • A lesser known suggestion is that the five points on the star were intended to represent the five social groups that would lead Russia to communism: the youth, the military, the industrial labourers, the agricultural workers or peasantry, and the intelligentsia. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels used the red star as a symbol. It was also one of the emblems, symbols, and signals representing the Soviet Union under the rule and guidance of the Communist Party, along with the hammer and sickle.

  • The five-pointed red star, a pentagram without the inner pentagon, is a symbol of communism as well as broader socialism in general. It is sometimes understood to represent the five fingers of the worker's hand, as well as the five continents.

  • Commander...I am proud.

    Gradenko...I am dissapoint.

    A Soviet-star-shaped cookie for who finds the reference xD

  • Disappoint dad huh?

  • And here is your cookie!! *gives cookie*

    Have a memetastic day!! :D

  • The only think I can do now (since fuc*ing EA ruined C&C) is to play RA1 over and over again...and dream :(

  • Westwood forever buddy.

  • Yeah And the most pathetic thing for me is when horny teenagers who are only interested in boobs on RA3 cover nuke me whenever I say RA3 sucks. And they never played first two RAs. :(

    What's wrong with this world?

  • This world is fucked up now as much as EA has fucked up Command & conquer.

  • I felt the same way back when I was eight...

  • That's so strange. You sit in front of one of the top3 dictators of all time, he promotes you and you feel proud. :-)

    Very well done by Westwood; the most dangerous people are reasonable "normal" villians fully aware of what they're doing and be able to use their head to think. Good acting. EA obviously fucked up C&C.

  • That quote was stated exactly as Stalin himself put it. This game had much better voice acting than RA3.

  • Yeah, that game is just a cheesy line dispenser.

  • He likes his vodka, no?

    lol

  • The Electronic Arts company killed the Comand & Conquer series. Just because of the polictical freedom aproach from the Westwood Studios company. Westwood Studios are the best game makers ever.

  • When I played as the Empire in RA3, I saw a building unlike any other and when I read the description that said it was the EA Los Angeles HQ, I turned it to a pile of rubble. It said that it would lead to a time paradox, but I thought : "That would just be a good thing. Then Westwood could keep up making their awesome games."

  • This had so much heart!

  • as kradenko said in the first mission briefing

    'no prisoners, no survivors.... that is all'

  • perfecto. as Stalin himself would've put it.

  • Great acting, Great game.

  • Bring back these FMVs!!!!!!!

  • I really miss Westwood.

  • lol, the acting is so good, i find myself from time to time talking with the computer, pretending im actually there in the meetings

    O.o

  • "kill one is a tragedy, kill 10 million is a statistic"

    "carry on like this and your future is as bright as the soviet star"

    omg awesome phrases ;D

  • You know that the first pharase actully was used by Stalin himself

  • Original: The death of one is a tragedy, the death of one million is just a statistic"

  • Is a good actor indeed

  • One of the best games ever

  • For some reason Stalin sounded Mexican for the first sentence.

  • 'God speed?' i didnt think Stalinism endorsed divinity.

  • It did. With Stalin as God.

  • the person who played stalin was suprisingly a good actor. red alert had the best briefings in the whole C&C history, hands down.

  • Eugene Brinasrky was great as Stalin!

  • that totally looks like stalin

  • seriously. When i played this game for the first time i was like "OMG, they brought him back to life just for C&C" hehe

  • i think stalin misquoted himself bless his communist, satanic heart

  • "When you kill one, it is a tragedy. When you kill ten million, it is a statistic."

    OMG I loved this game, I bought RA and the two add-ons and played it all the time. :)

  • Stalin actually said that.

  • @FrostPegasus yes he did ! 

  • @FrostPegasus, well, that's bullshit. It's just ascribed to him. For example, Kurt Tucholsky wrote: «Der Krieg? Ich kann das nicht so schrecklich finden! Der Tod eines Menschen: das ist eine Katastrophe. Hunderttausend Tote: das ist eine Statistik!» as far back as 1932.

  • so you don't mind australians.

  • Australia isn't in Europe.

  • wow how'd u manage to figure that corker out. i know that i live here. my point was that when people usually have rants about the western world we get left out which is good and bad

  • It is good not bad at all..but personally I think it's kinda strange calling Australia Western when we clearly are not. Kiwi land classes it's self as South Pacific perhaps we should to.

  • i mean western in the economic sense as opposed to geographical. but ur right we're usually classed in the asia pacific region

  • how come austrillia doesnt have wars?

  • wtf bitch? we had 2 fight in WW1 WW2 vietnam war and now the iraqi war we always get dragged in wars because dumb shits like bush panic at the word nuclear

  • Australia is considered to be of the same general cultural heritage as Western Europe and North America - hence Western.

  • im guesing you only konw how to play as allies huh...

  • he doesnt look like stalin

  • I think it will be a lot worse if Joseph Stalin become a dictator compared to Hitler.I think he will be a lot more evil!

    quote `a single death is a tragedy,a million death is a statistic' is a word of a mass murder

  • That quote (when you kill...) is totally false because Stalin never really sayed. It's only a quota from a Remark's book... revisionist...

  • "Where the romans failed i will succeed"

    like Hitler's "Where Napoleon failed i shall succeed".

  • I absolutely devoted myself to Red Alert as a schoolkid. My fellow C&C addict/friend named Phil confessed to having a tear of pride in his eye when 'he' 'received' this medal from 'Stalin' here.

  • lol

  • I think that is my favourite Joseph Stalin quote.

  • you know C&C 3 wasnt half as fun as the red alert series

  • yeah the Stalin character is a good actor i think, perhaps the best in all the red alert series. I wish red alert 2 soviet briefings were more serious like this.

  • Me too man, the RA2 briefings are just so cheesy....

  • i agree the RA 1 briefing where the best

  • Stalin is GreaT!!

  • What do the people think of this video? :p

  • RA3? when? where? !!!

  • man those were good times, stalin briefings rocks xd

  • ..You know, he actually does a not too bad job acting considering he's emoting into a camera lense.

  • when u kill 100,000,000 the enemy is pathetic

  • roflmao ..good one

  • Shut up nobody gives a care.

  • STALIN OWNS VIVA LA SOVIET UNION

  • in other words, a medal for being a jackass?

  • He serve the pepole? And how it could that he killed 20 milion(in real life) EVEN MORE THAN HITLER DIT!

  • lol europe is ok but why he is attacking turkey ? half of turkey was red?were turks allied with europe in the scenario?

  • i can see it now: one day Hungary is going to invade Turkey

  • What is that Stalin presents when he says "I wish to promote you"? Is it some sort of badge or a medal? I can't make it out.

  • it was a medal i think. or one of those ribbon thingies with a medal attatched

  • "When you kill one, it is a tragedy. But when you kill ten million, it is a statistic."

    One of the more memorable quotes of this great game.

  • i used that quote on my MySpace profile.

  • Strange thing, Stalin conquering Europe. Historically, it seems he only made the iron curtain (not that weapon from this game) between east and west, because he wanted to have zones to protect Russia. Stalin's doctrine was Socialism in One Land (every country in its own time to socialism) while his opponnent Trotsky believed in using war of spies to spread socialism.

    Wow, hear me talking in a dull way....:S

  • I think he didn´t expand because of nazism and facism.

    They were a threat to the Soviet Union and he wouldn´t like to have more countries against him.

  • Romanov was mind controlled by Yuri, Stalin seemed in control, just was being fed bad info by his advisors

  • na... actually according to the Black Book of Communism Mao killed 60 million people. The Soviet Union killed "only" 40 million and not all of those 40 million where killed by Stalin. But of course this is only a statistic /-:

  • i always thought stalin would be rollin in his grave at the thought of this portrayl haha

  • meglomaniacs always think better of themselves. He was a murdering bastard as bad as Hitler and Mao, worse in terms of pure death they caused. As a fan of Russian history, this guy doesn't look like Stalin but he's not bad as an actor.

  • stalin is a terrible leader.The command and conquer priemires are idiots.

    The first is stalin that can only act with someone helping him.

    The second is Romanoff that loses his position to yuri in red alert 2 easily.

  • Only act with someone helping him? Well, you can't be a dictator when you have no henchmen or something...

  • I´m just telling that he trusted so much in his "comrades" that he was betrayed.

  • He was betrayed by his advisors.

  • Erm, EVERYONE is a comrade in Soviet Russia. His advisers were his comrades.

  • i like the fat guy in Red Alert 2. he's kinda funny. i like how in briefing 5 Yuri steals Romanov's tea and quickly comes back to talk about the French and Germans leaving their homelands exposed to you ect.

  • Do what you must for the people.

  • omg what he said is exactly coping Hitler. .. Hitler: " Where Napoleon failed, I shall succeed. I shall land on the shores of Britain." this video: " where the Romans failed, I will succeed. "

  • 'your future is bright as the star of the soveiet union' er last i checked the star was a bit dull :( now im worried about my future :(

  • For the people

  • Stalin says teh WoRd!

  • stalin's speach reached me

  • Lol.

  • Theses briefings rules!.

  • Looks like stalin though.

  • hwath dose dogs are doing ? pricles !!!
