In this short historic documentary about Joseph Stalin, the leader of the USSR, we shall explore his final 24 hours. If you look at the reign of Joseph Stalin as the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, you get an image of Stalin as a ruthless, politically crafty, and dangerously paranoid individual. He held power in large part due to the fear he instilled. That insidious fear, not just of Stalin himself, but the mistrust he fostered between people themselves let him stay in power for 30 years. It eventually also led to Joseph Stalin lying in his own urine, the heads of state surrounding him, too afraid to lift a finger to help. Live by the sword, die by the loss of bodily functions in a narratively interesting way, as the saying goes.
