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.

@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.

This should have been included in the movie.

too da boawss.

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.

@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.

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

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?
Interesting how Khrushchev is self-projecting himself...
But on more serious matter... this is pure comedy, propaganda is not worth to call it.

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.
