The Death of Stalin

The Death of Stalin

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a significant figure in world history. He was feared by absolutely everyone, including even his closest associates, not just ordinary people. But on March 5, 1953, the great leader and dictator passed away. The entire Soviet Union breathed a sigh of relief. Well, almost all of them, because now the real struggle for the place of the Secretary General of the USSR will begin. Malenkov, Khrushchev, Beria, even Vasily Stalin are ready to take on the difficult burden of the ruler. The most cunning, the most eloquent, the most devious of all will win. Had Stalin known what would happen after his death, he would have refused to die. Read more The film is an adaptation of the graphic novel by Fabien Nouri and Thierry Robins.
