STALIN: MAN OF STEEL
Stalin: Man of Steel is a compelling documentary produced by the History Channel in 2003 that delves into the life of one of the most significant and controversial figures of the 20th century, Joseph Stalin.
This documentary explores Stalin's rise to power, starting from his early life in Georgia, where he was born into a modest family in 1878. Emerging from a background of poverty and a small-town lifestyle, Stalin was initially drawn to revolutionary ideas, eventually joining the Bolshevik movement. His journey from a small-time criminal to a political heavyweight illustrates how his cunning and ruthless nature allowed him to maneuver through the complex political landscape of the early Soviet Union.
The film provides a comprehensive overview of Stalin's role in the Russian Revolution of 1917, highlighting his influence in consolidating power within the newly formed Soviet government. As a key ally of Vladimir Lenin, Stalin gradually positioned himself as the heir apparent, ultimately taking control after Lenin's death in 1924. This period marked the beginning of significant changes within the Soviet Union, wherein Stalin's policies would lead to both industrialization and widespread purges.
Stalin's era is notoriously known for the Great Purge, a campaign of political repression that resulted in the execution and imprisonment of millions of perceived enemies. The documentary delves into the devastating impact of these purges on Soviet society, explaining the atmosphere of fear and paranoia that permeated throughout the nation. Interviews with historians, archival footage, and survivor testimonies provide vivid insights into the traumatic experiences of individuals during this tumultuous time.
Through its detailed analysis, the documentary addresses Stalin's ambitious economic policies, such as the Five-Year Plans, aimed at transforming the Soviet Union into a global superpower. These plans prompted rapid industrial growth, yet they often came at the terrible cost of human suffering, including famine and forced labor. The documentary sheds light on the harsh realities faced by workers and farmers who labored under incessant demands and inadequate resources.
In addition to his domestic policies, Stalin: Man of Steel examines Stalin's foreign relations during and after World War II. The documentary highlights Stalin's strategic alliances, his role in the defeat of Nazi Germany, and the subsequent creation of the Eastern Bloc. It also discusses how his expansionist policies laid the groundwork for the Cold War, reshaping the global political landscape for decades.
The documentary closes with reflections on Stalin's legacy, acknowledging the complex nature of his rule. While some view him as a master strategist who modernized the Soviet state, others remember him as a tyrant whose repressive regime led to immense suffering. The contrasting views on his impact prompt viewers to think critically about history and its interpretation.
Overall, Stalin: Man of Steel serves as a crucial resource for understanding one of history's most enigmatic leaders, offering a balance of informative narratives and engaging visuals that capture the essence of the man behind the title.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
