Stalin: The First In-depth Biography Based on Explosive New Documents from Russia's Secr Kindle Edition

by Edvard Radzinsky (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

4.3 381 ratings

See all formats and editions

From the author of The Last Tsar, the first full-scale life of Stalin to have what no previous biography has fully obtained: the facts. Granted privileged access to Russia's secret archives, Edvard Radzinsky paints a picture of the Soviet strongman as more calculating, ruthless, and blood-crazed than has ever been described or imagined. Stalin was a man for whom power was all, terror a useful weapon, and deceit a constant companion.

As Radzinsky narrates the high drama of Stalin's epic quest for domination-first within the Communist Party, then over the Soviet Union and the world-he uncovers the startling truth about this most enigmatic of historical figures. Only now, in the post-Soviet era, can what was suppressed be told: Stalin's long-denied involvement with terrorism as a young revolutionary; the crucial importance of his misunderstood, behind-the-scenes role during the October Revolution; his often hostile relationship with Lenin; the details of his organization of terror, culminating in the infamous show trials of the 1930s; his secret dealings with Hitler, and how they backfired; and the horrifying plans he was making before his death to send the Soviet Union's Jews to concentration camps-tantamount to a potential second Holocaust. Radzinsky also takes an intimate look at Stalin's private life, marked by his turbulent relationship with his wife Nadezhda, and recreates the circumstances that led to her suicide.

As he did in The Last Tsar, Radzinsky thrillingly brings the past to life. The Kremlin intrigues, the ceaseless round of double-dealing and back-stabbing, the private worlds of the Soviet Empire's ruling class-all become, in Radzinsky's hands, as gripping and powerful as the great Russian sagas. And the riddle of that most cold-blooded of leaders, a man for whom nothing was sacred in his pursuit of absolute might--and perhaps the greatest mass murderer in Western history--is solved.

Amazon.com Review

Granted privileged access to Russia's secret archives, Edvard Radzinsky has broken down the iron curtain of myth, secrecy and lies that has surrounded Stalin's life and career, painting a picture of the Soviet strongman as more calculating, ruthless and blood-crazed than has ever been described or imagined. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

From Publishers Weekly

Russian historian and playwright Radzinsky, whose bestselling The Last Tsar chronicled the assassination of the Romanov royal family, has produced a vivid, astonishingly intimate biography of Joseph Stalin. By drawing heavily on previously unavailable primary-source documents in recently opened party, state and KGB archives, he portrays the Soviet dictator as even more sadistic and methodically demoniacal than Western historians had supposed. Pointing to the young revolutionary's repeated escapes and trips abroad, Radzinsky builds an intriguing circumstantial case that Stalin was a double agent working for both the Bolshevik cause and the czarist secret police. He documents how Lenin recruited Stalin into terrorist violence and used him to tame and crush dissidence within the party ranks. Through interviews with Stalin's granddaughter and with the niece of Nadezhda Alliluyeva, the dictator's wife, Radzinsky pieces together the violent quarrel between Stalin and his wife that led to her suicide weeks before she was to have major surgery. Using oral testimonies, the author deduces that Stalin's murderous anti-Semitic campaign of 1953?whose goal was the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Jews to Siberia and Kazakhstan?was a prelude to his plan to launch a third world war. Radzinsky also tracked down one of Stalin's bodyguards, Peter Lozgachev, whose testimony that Stalin's guards deliberately denied him medical attention and left him to die adds weight to the author's hypothesis that Stalin was eliminated by close aide Lavrenti Beria (who reportedly boasted, "I took him out") as part of a conspiracy to avert nuclear Armageddon. Stalin died in 1953, aged 74 by standard sources, although Radzinsky maintains he was a year older. Photos. 50,000 first printing; major ad/promo; author tour.

From Library Journal

A well-known Russian playwright and historian, Radzinsky (The Last Tsar: The Life and Death of Nicholas II, LJ 7/92) has examined mountains of rare archival sources and interviewed many who lived through decades of Stalinist (mis)rule. The result is the best general biography of Stalin to date. Radzinsky strips away layer after layer of myth, falsehood, and enigma to produce a riveting portrait of a man whose primary role model was Ivan the Terrible. Stalin's motives and actions are presented as part of a consistent pattern. The forced collectivization of the kulaks, the Great Terror, and Cold War barbarisms represent not motiveless malignity but malignity with a coherent purpose. Rich in anecdotes and dramatic events, Radzinsky's volume is more important than his previous work and clearly superior to Gen. Dmitri Volkogonov's Stalin: Triumph and Tragedy (LJ 9/15/91), also based on newly available sources. A mandatory purchase.?Mark R. Yerburgh, Fern Ridge Community Lib., Veneta, Ore.

It took me a while, but I finished my reading of Radzinsky's biography of Stalin, "Stalin," last night. The writing could be better, and there may be better Stalin biographies available, but Radzinsky's is certainly a good, educational start. Many of us 'think' that we know a lot about history, including we history scholars, but one really has to read about history and not just listen to Veterans stories and/or read the texts in the course of our formal education. An entire century and more encompasses just much of this information about Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, Marx, et. al.

We are not today a lot further down the road from this behaviour and history of Stalin's. Putin is bringing it all back, and as Radzinsky pointed out in his Afterword, it was only in 1995 that a massive pro-Stalin demonstration was held just down the street from where Bill Clinton was standing. This was not lost on Bill nor Hillary who are both two of our most criminally bent of our current national figures.

I would have to do further study of Machiavelli's "The Prince" to get a better sense of what these two volumes together can tell a reader in search of power, but 'Stalin" is certainly instructive. Reading it from night to night is somewhat reflective of our morbid fascination with driving slowly by vehicle crashes, or train wrecks, or scenes of mayhem, evil, darkness, etc. It is fascinating and enlightening and remarkable to see just how close we came to Armageddon and the Apocalypse. As usual it began way back in someone's unpleasant childhood. The maps and charts of life start at the start of one's life. Our courses are already pre-determined.

Lenin asked "What is to be done?" Stalin answered the question. It is symptomatic of our times that there are more folks who are part of the problem and posers of questions than there are people who are problem solvers and answerers of questions. In his own highly describable way Stalin answered the questions of his time. Even today we have characters such as "Dirty Harry" who memorably said, "Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot." As illustrated by the daily headlines we have not come far at all from the Biblical Cain killing Able, or the actual first homocide.

The life story of a dedicated despot. an amazon sourced book based on recent document revelations.
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2014

I grew up during World War II, when Joseph Stalin was one of the "Big Three" world leaders, and an ally along with President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He was an enigma, having been originally associated with Adolf Hitler in a pact to take over Europe and divide it up between them, but switched sides when Hitler sent a couple of Armored Divisions east through the Ukraine to attack Russia at Stalingrad. This book is very well written, with the reader in mind, as a rolling, detailed account of the life, from birth to death, of a man born into poor, beginnings in a small mountain town, who rose through political activities to assume the powers of the czars that he had opposed as a violent revolutionary figure most of his life. The book carries the reader through the violent and raw times of the Russian people prior to, during and following the revolutions into the Communist era, and through World War II. Stalin, who chose his name as a symbol of his staunch role of "steel" during the revolution, was arrested by various government police during his early political career, and spent years in extremely harsh prisons, some near the arctic circle, in primitive conditions. He wore the bitterness of his early life on his sleeve, and ruled with an iron fist, though known to his friends and family as a very affable, likable fellow who used his charismatic personality to gain influence and trust on this way up. He was the prime example of the modern politician who endears himself with the public and his fellow politicians, but readily disposes of them when they become inconvenient. I recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the course of the world from the introduction of the 20th century until this date, While our school textbooks have bent facts to suit an idealistic if not socialistic false-history, this one lays out all the gory details of the things that are ground up to make the stew we now are experiencing as world-politics. Stalin was the model after which the modern leaders, including Mr. Putin were fashioned and trained. The iron-fist of the Soviet system has always been the grim, steely-eyed enforcement arm most recently called the KGB. Mr. Putin was the most recent chief of the KGB. His training prepared him well for the job he now holds, as he seems to hearken back to several premiers ago, eschewing the comparatively timid regimes of people like Kruschev and his successors, all the way back to the stocky, dark and ruthless rule of the peasant revolutionary leader with the bushy moustache and the peasant jacket soft leather boots, pipe and ready wit -- Joseph Stalin.

Can't be the best biography
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2016

"Stalin" is a historical biography that I admired but … did I enjoy it? Let me put it this way: Reading this 600-page beast often felt like being banished to Siberia with nothing to do but page through the telephone directory. I do respect the blood, sweat and tears that must have gone into the research and writing of this massive tome about the 20th century’s greatest villain, Joseph Stalin (yes, I’m including Hitler), but the result is mostly a plodding bore.

In addition to presenting the usual agglomeration of unpronounceable and confusing Russian names, Radzinsky’s book demands a basic knowledge of Russian history and the major political players of the time. If you are unfamiliar with the historical relationship between Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, the troubled history of Ukraine and Russia, etc., well, too bad for you. Radzinsky simply offers a chronological survey of what Stalin did and to whom he did it. Stalin himself remains an enigma. So many details, so little insight.

It’s a shame, because if we know one thing, it’s that history repeats itself, and if a genocidal despot like Stalin could place an entire country under his malevolent spell, then understanding the factors that created such a monster is something we all need to know. – grouchyeditor.com

This counts as one of the best biographies, I have ever read. Radzinsky is able to relay the story from two perspectives. First, Radzinsky is a Russian. His family lived through the Stalin years. He is able to relay information, from a personal viewpoint. Secondly, Radzinsky spent a great deal of time, researching the Russian archives. Most of the documents relating to Stalin, have only recently became available to the public. Many of the recently released files, contained shocking information.

Radzinsky breaks down Stalin`s life story, into three segments. He starts with his childhood, then his youthful revolutionary period, and lastly Stalin`s time as the all powerful leader of the Soviet Union. Somewhere along the line, the reader suddenly realizes; this book is a lot more then just a biography. The transition period from Tsarist Russia over to the Bolshevik rule, is extremely violent. A civil war breaks out, which eventually leads to a Bolshevik victory. Stalin places himself, right in the middle of these events. He works his way through the party, and ends up as Lenin`s right hand man. This of course, will later lead to Stalin becoming the party leader. The details on the Russian Revolution, and the Bolshevik rise to power, is very interesting. I believe a lot of Western readers, will find the Russian historical data, as appealing as the biographical information.

The reader will also go through all of Stalin`s gory details. The man was a complete psychopath. Stalin not only had zero sympathy for his victims, he would often laugh at their plight. Friends, family, enemies, co-workers, peasants, soldiers, officers, you name it, he killed them all.
At the same time, Stalin is a very cunning political animal. He seldom makes mistakes, and he does not suffer fools. Yes he was evil in the extreme, but he was also a political mastermind.

I highly recommend this biography.
