The man who would become one of histories bloodiest and most ruthless Dictators, was born from humble beginnings on the outer fringes of the Russian Empire. At a time when Russia was still ruled by the Czars, young Loseb Jughashvili was captivated by the Communist movement started by Karl Marx and carried forward by Vladimir Lenin. So how does the son of a cobbler who initially started on the path to become a priest find himself ruling the Soviet Union and killing millions of his own people. From the Seminary to Siberia (several times) Joseph Stalin's rise to power is almost impressive were it not for the fact the man appeared to be a murder robot with zero human emotion. Join us for part one in exploring the Soviet Sociopath that is Jospeh Stalin.
What's up Highstorians, just letting you know Prof AG's mic wasn't working right for the first 20 min of the episode, you can still hear him but it's a little quiet. Now sure we coulda started over but we were cookin' and wanted to keep the convo genuine, bear with us for the beginning, it's worth it.
