The Hall of Evil: Joseph Stalin | Paul Kengor

Author: PragerU February 11, 2025 Duration: 6:22
"One death is a tragedy. A million is a statistic." That line perfectly captures Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin’s nihilistic worldview. Millions suffered under his rule—through forced labor, purges, and starvation. In thie PragerU 5-Minute Video, Paul Kengor reveals the truth about one of the 20th century’s most ruthless individuals. This video was made possible through a generous donation from the Robert W. Plaster Foundation, part of the Robert W. Plaster Foundation Playlist: Free Enterprise Will Set You Free, which educates Americans on the virtues of our nation's founding principles and the consequences of straying from them.
