Enemy At The Gates - Stalin And Khrushchev

[Katyusha666]

lol, such propaganda. Simon Sebag Montefiore, the most credible Stalin biographer says that Stalin didn't "disappear" for a week or more, neither was he scared or whaetever.

[tacoland2000]

This should have been included in the movie.

[insurgentdude]

too da boawss.

[edinscot56789]

Thank god Stalin didn't get rid of Zhukov. He trusted and respected Zhukov because he had the balls to stand up to Stalin and tell him he was wrong. He feared no-one.

Bob Hoskins makes a great Khrushchev, but the director chose to have them use British accents instead of Russian ones. I'm a fan of World War 2 movies, but this one, not so much.

[tacoland2000]

@bjr43 Most of the actors are British. Fake Russian accents would have ended up sounding forced, with the effect of stifling dialogue. It's essentially a Western dramatization of the East, anyway. But I agree with you on one thing, Hoskins makes an unmatched Kruschev on the screen. The actor obviously did his homework.

It is nice to know that Stalingrad was in Greece, and it's command was actually Metaxas, oh wait it isn't. Jump please try to inform yourself slightly, Stalin did a horrible job and the Russian casualty list proves it. The French had 3-1 casualties in the Battle of France, do you really need to tell me the casualty rate the Red Army suffered because of mismanagement? It isn't very hard to find.

[jumpnjza2]

Typical western garbage. The truth is that Stalin did a fucking brilliant job in WW2. Western observers thought the french army would be the most important, well they were finished in 2 weeks...have they forgotten that the fascists lost their first battle at Stalingrad?

[DanLetts97]

@jumpnjza2 I like to think it was the battle of britain.....

[romanlegions]

@jumpnjza2 It was only brilliant when he gave control over his generals, he did a terrible job at managing the crisis at the beginning. You can attribute Russian generals like Zhukov and Yeremenko to the victories in Operation Uranus in the encirclement of the Sixth Army. When he took control again after Stalingrad, the Germans won again at Kharkov. He then gave controls back to his generals.

JUST A BUNCH OF LIES OF THE COVER AGENTS OF TROTSKY-FASCISM. THIS MOTHERFUCKER TROSTSKY SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE OPPOSSING AND ATTACKING LENIN AND OPPORTUNISTICALLY JOINED THE BOLSHEVICS AT THE LAST MINUTE. (AUGUST 1917). STALIN JOINED 1903. HE WAS SO STUPID TO ENGAGE THE POWERFUL GERMAN ARMY WHEN THE RED ARMY WAS BORN, REFUSING TO SIGN THE BREST LITOVSK PEACE AGREEMENT WITH THE GERMANS. THE GERMANS OVERRAN RUSSIA AND TOOK WHATEVER THEY WANTED. DEEP INSIDE HE WANTED TO DESTROY THE REVOLUTION

[InsaneAsJoker]

@huayucachi1 trotsky and lenin were friends for the most part as shown by lenins letters about trotsky to other people and also the fact he was given such powerful positions. trotsky was in charge of the army but not who the country was at war with. the provisional goverment continued the war with germany and it was lenin and trotsky who decided to ask for peace and trosky signed the peace at brest-litovsk. the germans BEFORE the peace treaty had pushed into parts of the russian empire.

[Alexn1067]

this is true, Stalin did try to fold to Hitler at first. But of course this fact didn't become known till recent history. Stalin was so good at hiding the truth, truth of his brutality, the truth of his own lack of leadership.

[zbyti77]

Ники́та Серге́евич Хрущёв as live!

[TrueCommunist]

Interesting how Khrushchev is self-projecting himself...

But on more serious matter... this is pure comedy, propaganda is not worth to call it.

[zbyti77]

@TrueCommunist "propaganda" was all they have...
