In this episode of Ancient to Recent, Joseph Parkinson continues the story of the Soviet Union after the death of Stalin, as the struggle for power begins. As the regime stages a grand funeral to preserve the illusion of stability, figures like Georgy Malenkov, Lavrentiy Beria, and Nikita Khrushchev maneuver behind the scenes to claim control of the Soviet state. But beneath the surface, the empire Stalin built begins to crack. From mass amnesties and sudden reforms to unrest across Eastern Europe, culminating in violent uprisings in East Germany, the system is tested in ways it has never faced before. As fear, propaganda, and power struggles collide, one question dominates: who will control the future of the Soviet Union? Join Joseph Parkinson as Ancient to Recent continues its series on the struggle that would reshape the Cold War world. #Ad This episode is brought to you in partnership with Ground News.
