Stalin: The Power of Fear
- 1978 ----- color ----- 24 min ----- 16mm
- By 1939, Stalin had supreme power inside Russia. No individual or group dared threaten his authority. Every aspect of Soviet life, from economic policies to architectural styles, was subject to Stalin's approval. Stalin's total control of people and events in the Soviet Union was based on fear. The secret police, Stalin's eyes and ears, were everywhere; sham trials, imprisonments and killings had become routine. To his heirs, Stalin left a system that is maintained by deceit and terror, and a legacy of power based on fear. Although the man is dead and his actions condemned in official Soviet history, Stalin's spirit lives on.
