Russian Calendar with Stanislav: Stalin, the Bureaucrat Dictator
Stalin is the name that some people fear, some hate, and some adore. A boy born in a poor family in the mountains of Georgia was easily the most successful dictator of the XX century: he won the most disastrous war in human history, caused millions of deaths, and divided Europe ruling the fates of numerous nations from Kremlin. Stanislav tells in simple Russian about the youth and deeds of Jughashvili (Stalin's original name), his tragic family life, way to power, and how he is viewed in today's Russia. For intermediate students interested in Russian and Soviet history.
