The ENTIRE History of The Soviet Union (USSR Documentary)

Editor's Take

From the 1917 revolution through Stalin, the Second World War, and the Cold War to the state's collapse, this multi-hour account traces one of the twentieth century's most contested histories. It lays out the ideology, the leadership, and the events that defined the USSR across its span. Given so charged a subject, the film functions as a chronological overview rather than a verdict, setting out the arc for viewers to weigh. It is a serviceable map of a vast and disputed story.

This documentary covers the entire history of the Soviet Union, one of the defining and most controversial stories of the twentieth century. It follows the arc from the Russian Revolution of 1917 through Stalin, the Second World War, and the Cold War to the collapse of the USSR. Across more than three hours it examines the ideology, the leaders, and the human cost of the Soviet experiment. It is a sweeping account of a superpower's rise and fall.
