Contents/Summary

Summary
Director Semyon Aranovitch brilliantly blends rarely seen newsreel and documentary footage of Stalin’s three-decade regime. The centerpiece is a long, fascinating interview with the last surviving personal bodyguard of the Soviet dictator. Also included are home movies of Stalin, his family and his inner circle. I Was Stalin's Bodyguard is neither blatantly pro- nor anti-Stalin; it offers the facts, then allows the viewer to make up his or her own mind.
