The Last Meal of Joseph Stalin

Описание: Joseph Stalin was one of the most powerful and feared figures of the 20th century. He transformed the Soviet Union into an industrial superpower, played a pivotal role in defeating Germany, and ruled through terror, purges, and paranoia.

But on the night before his death in 1953, he sat down for a surprisingly humble final meal of cold cuts, pickled vegetables, Georgian cheese, rye bread, and his favorite red wine. In this video, we explore Stalin’s final dinner, the eerie calm of his last hours, the slow unraveling after his collapse, and the legacy he left behind.

It’s a story of power, fear, and food served cold.
