A powerful combination of archive film and witness statements showing the role of Stalin in the Soviet Union in the 1930's. It is said that Stalin's standing ovations were so long because nobody dared to be the first to stop clapping after his speeches. Stalin was an insecure man obsessed with destroying political opponents and then later his colleagues and the senior communists who helped him to power. The clip features archive film showing a Stalin speech, the show trial of Bukharin in the 1930's and interviews with Bukharin's widow and a cartoonist who remembered the trial.
