Was Joseph Stalin a man of vision who led his backward people forward, or was he a ruthless, manipulative villain who forced his country into submission? Today, as change sweeps the Soviet Union, the historical role of the "man of steel" becomes increasingly apparent. Stalin, a compelling three-part series, casts new light on the complex man who stood at the helm of his country for over a quarter of a century, and transformed it into a major world power. Featuring rare, never-before-seen archival footage and exclusive interviews with relatives of Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, and Bukharin, these informative programs trace Stalin's rise to power, and explore the impact he had on his country, his people, and the world. Black and white. Country: USA. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
