Vyacheslav Molotov was a key figure in Soviet politics, serving as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister under Joseph Stalin. He is most infamously known for signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression treaty with Nazi Germany in 1939 that secretly divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence, directly preceding the outbreak of World War II. Molotov also played a significant role in the Great Purge and later became known for his uncompromising stance during the Cold War and having the “Molotov cocktail” named after him.

This miserable, evil creature Molotov was Stalin's pathetic lapdog and lackey. He also bares substantial responsibility and guilt in carrying out and fulfilling Stalin's millions of murders; his part in these murders was essential in carrying out this evil. Even to his end, it appears he never offered any regret, apology, or repentance for his complicity. What a pitiful, pathetic excuse of a person was this diabolical Molotov. Molotov chose an eternity in hell for himself. I believe he now lives in eternity with what he chose for himself. Only now, he is the lapdog and lackey of Satan.
I guess the devil did reside on earth! I wonder why those religious fanatics didn't pick this up
You might want to recheck the dob you mentioned for this Molotov 😂😂
❤❤❤❤
A very eurocentric view.
Molie — its a hot one, lol.
Good video, especially for you tube.
The USSR bombed the finns, and said «No, these are not bombs, it is bread baskets» the finns responded with the cocktail.
This devil Molotov was Stalin's faithful lapdog. I believe the soul of Molotov is in hell.
International terrorism loves Molotov so much that they named their flaming bottle the Molotov Cocktail. Molotov's deal with Nazi Germany's Ribbentropp wasn't a deal, it was a divorce declaration. You see, after a certain day it was GUARANTEED that Nazi Germany would attack the Soviet Union or vice versa, whoever was ready and/or willing first. Since Hitler was, it was Germany that invaded the Soviet Union. The Nazis' ardent hate of Jewish Bolshevism guaranteed the war with the Soviet Union to be a war of absolute annihilation and pure evil, similar to many video games that people play nowadays. The only difference is that the blood and guts were real, and not digital images. Hitler hated the Soviets so bad that Germany's entire war economy and resources was thrown into the Soviet Union to destroy this Jewish Bolshevism that had swept across the Russian empire 20 or so years earlier. Hitler and his Nazi cronies were no fans of Stalin and his supporters. They desperately needed the land for their own use and were willing to kill as many 100,000,000 Soviets in doing so. They failed miserably but they did give the Soviets something to cherish: survival.
It’s a fascinating biography – but for me it says far more about Russian social history and why Putin and Russia are, as they are today. So many people in the west have fixed opinions about Russia’s different fix opinions – this helps greatly to understand the different paths that we have each been on and why, even today, we do not have a natural common understanding.
He had a name. It was Zaur Alexandrovich Gurtsiev. I heard he had a blast!
Stalin and Molotov wanted their pact with Germany or there would have been no war. Therefore they are the real devils and not Ribbentrop and Hitler,
Always curious of invented the Molotov cocktail. Now I know.
I heard he was quite the party guy too.
Even has a beverage named after him 😏
More like a pact between two devils, lets stop pretending the soviets werent just as evil
Bolsheviks were called that because they were many more of them deriving from the word “bolshe” and Mensheviks because there were less of them from the word “menshe” meaning Less.
"Fawning character" indeed!
Whether it's USSR and Stalinism, or some sort of mafia (as in Trump's Whitehouse) there is always spots for morally feckless persons such as Molotov.
It's interesting to see how many individuals like Molotov survived the purges of the 1930s and then kept kind of rising and falling as potential successors to Stalin. Reminds me of today. Who actually would succeed Putin if he died in the morning? It doesn't seem like there's any clear line of succession, and I'm presuming Russia won't magically transform into a democracy again once he's gone!
Eventually the devil comes to collect.
Please could you do a video on Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich of Russia? He was a grandson of Tsar Alexander II and commanded troops in WWI. Also there are no videos about him!
Molotov is the only Russian around Stalin that dressed good and looked normal, all the rest dressed tacky and looked freakish
