Roman policier French Edition. I have long been fascinated with Russia and the Soviet Union since high school. I did my AP World History final paper on the rise of communism in Russia, though it's been years since then, I still find it an interesting topic that I still find myself reading about on occasion.

    As Americans as a country and a culture we demonized and continue to demonize the Russians pretty badly.

    We have the tendency to do this to any nation whose government we don't agree with and it also has the bad effect I have long been fascinated with Russia and the Soviet Union since high school. We have the tendency to do this to any nation whose government we don't agree with and it also has the bad effect of lumping the people in with their governments, even in cases when its obvious the people have little to no power like with dictatorships and other oppressive regimes.

    I'm not saying Stalin was good in any way at all, no, he was most certainly an evil man. Millions of people died under his harsh leadership so he was not in any way a good person. Life for the common Soviet people was no doubt Hellish under him, as this graphic novel depicts. Everyone was so afraid of being taken or killed by the militarized police, yet they thought Stalin would protect them from such a fate. The people at the time appeared to love Stalin and from this graphic novel, there is a scene to prove it. Peasants from the countryside flooded into Moscow to attend his funeral, even though they were denied entry and some were shot for refusing to leave.

    The men who swarmed to snatch up Stalin's power are all pretty corrupt politicians, none of whom are likable. Most of them are despicable people and are not above threats, bribery, violence, murder and rape to get what they want. One of the worst of them, Beria is who the story mainly follows. Nikita Khrushchev will eventually be the leader who takes Stalin's place.

    He's in here but he's the enemy Beria and not a main character. I knew Khrushchev would survive so I was assuming Beria had to die which he does. Beria is executed and I felt as if this was a good thing since he's a selfish manipulator and a serial rapist. My favorite character is the violinist Maria, since she knows how truly wicked Stalin and his political allies are. Most of her family is in the gulag because of Stalin and it seems that due to her musical talents she is allowed to live in Moscow society instead.

    Honestly, this is such a creepy story, the art is fittingly creepy. The guys who are the main characters are not likable characters, the artist made most of them pretty gross probably to further repulse readers, if their total lack of a conscious and immorality isn't bad enough. The author mentions that this is a blend of history and historic-fiction since the entire story surrounding Stalin's death is questionable at best which is why I tagged both genres.

    Based on this book alone, considering how the surrounding politicians were acting in the face of Stalin's death, I could believe that someone could have poisoned him instead they claimed he died of a stroke. Beria, especially, seemed so psyched to jump in as the next Soviet leader. I gave it 2. Definitely not enjoyable but somewhat informative and rather scary.

    This graphic novel shows the chaos after a dictator dies, I found it believable, based on what I have learned about Russian history in school and from other literature. The death of Stalin was an interesting book about the death of Joseph Stalin The art was very dark with lots of reds, browns, and whites it was winter and had a lot of dark shadowy shots. I liked the book and found it very informative from a story standpoint it was a little bland but the author obviously has no control over how ex The death of Stalin was an interesting book about the death of Joseph Stalin I liked the book and found it very informative from a story standpoint it was a little bland but the author obviously has no control over how exciting the real event was so overall I would say it is an excellent portrayal of a historic event.

C'est ainsi que j'ai eu l'occasion de lire les deux albums de Mort au Tsar: Le premier des deux volumes s'intitule Agonie: What happened March 2, when Stalin had a stroke? No one has a totally accurate picture but this graphic novel, inspired by real events, paints a picture of the historical events. The book depicts Stalin's illness and the reaction of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Central Committee who gathered to react to the crisis. None of them wanted to make a decision themselves and so they met and tried to decide what to do next.

    Nobody wanted to make a decision that could come back on them an What happened March 2, when Stalin had a stroke? Nobody wanted to make a decision that could come back on them and end up with blame yet most were simultaneously scheming about their future post-Stalin. Wonderful art paired with a significant historic story. I've started it after the film and expected the same level of humour, but was surprised to see so much gritty reality.

    I've enjoyed the little foreword the author left quite a bit!

    An interesting peek into the madness and terror that was Communist Russia's politics. Stalin's successors engage in a game of backstabbing and deceit as they struggle to become the next despot of the USSR. I couldn't find the correct edition of the death of Stalin, so this one will do. I read both volumes and it was interesting however, I found the pacing way off and for me it really interfered with my enjoyment.

    Graphic novel outlining the absurd situation in Russia during and directly after Stalin's death. Facinating for someone like me who previously was unaware of many of the circumstances surrounding that perios.. I found the autopsy scene especially dark and funny.
