Great interview. Those people were the pinnacle of creepy and diabolical animals. Not too unlike what we have in washington today. Gotta read the book to better wrap your head around what kind of creeps run this zoo we live in. I’m certain that most normie Americans could never believe such animals exist.

“Such a collection of murders, drunks,sadists,” HFS!!! Sound familiar? Diabolical characters…don’t think we aren’t faced with the very same cast here and now. There are Berias and Stalins among them as sure as I breathe.
Great find JP

A MUST SEE and HEAR interview! Montefiore is a brilliant analyst and historian.

It explains three major issues we face:

1) the “scamdemic” — see Stalin’s absolute distrust of medicine when it presents TRUTH to POWER, 21:5t mark (crush all objective science and treatment) and

2) the “Bolshevik way” — mass killings for the sake of killing. It induces terror and fear to bring people in line and compliance, (mass psychosis that we see today) and

3) the “Terror” of 1936-1938, starts at Part Two 57:05 to the end, where the Reds saw war coming and no 5th Column or Russian patriots could be tolerated, so a million “insiders” Communists themselves had to die!

Loved how Stalin was referred to behind his back as “a religious fanatic of terror much like an Islamist.” This was back in the 1930s! That’s a key issue here: terror becomes their religion.

Another: General Grigory Kulik, one of Stalin’s most trusted inner-circle from day-one of Communism’s founding is brought to Moscow to be promoted to Field Marshall. Ironically, the very night before his promotion, Stalin and Molotov just for kicks and giggles, have Kulik’s pretty wife, Kira, kidnapped and imprisoned in a cell below Molotov’s office. The Field Marshall is distraught: “My wife is gone! Where can she be?” Molotov in his office tells the Field Marshall: “We will search all of Russia for her.” She’s shot in the head.

One take-away from this interview and book: how a tiny group of deviants and sadistic murderers can take control over a vast country and people. Worth your time.

…can’t help myself in sharing these:

SPOILER ALERT:

Vladimir Putin–yes THAT Putin of today. His grandfather, Putin, was the personal cook for Josef STALIN. That same grandfather also cooked for Vladimir LENIN in the Kremlin! at the 1:49:00 mark

…prior to that episode in the interview, it’s Operation Barbarossa–Minsk falls–the Wehrmacht cannot be halted. Stalin meets with Zhukov: “Georgy Konstantinovich! What the hell’s going on?” Zhukov’s eyes water, he breaks into tears and leaves the room. Stalin, speechless leaves and holes up in his dacha for 72 hours–Russia hangs by a thread.

Here is a helping of what is briefly described at 1:36 of the interview. The words are damning but the acts, even acted out in film, are painful. I fear the rhyme of history is close.

Just finished this one. Good work Mr. P. You’re digging out some high quality and highly relevant material from the old C-Span interviews!

Not a Putin Lover or Hater, or someone naive about his behavior, but just think it’s off base to always characterize him as a modern day Stalin. I’ll give two simple examples:

1. Stalin was a notorious sadist. There is a famous story of him as a young man who, while hanging out with friends one day, swam across to a small island during a flood where a young calf was stranded. Upon reaching the island, instead of rescuing the the animal, he broke its legs in front of everyone and laughed.

Here is video of Putin jumping out of his seat to relieve a dog which was being gifted to him, but which was in obvious discomfort:

2. Russian patriot Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (author of the Gulag Archipelago and many other books once popular in the US) spent years of his life being brutalized in the Soviet gulag for criticizing Stalin while serving as an Soviet army captain during world war II.

Here is a photo of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his later years with his face lit up when meeting Putin:
