Synopsis

The life and career of the Soviet dictator, Josef Stalin, is depicted through the eyes and memories of Anna Aliluyeva, Stalin’s granddaughter. The film traces the rise of the Bolshevik leader from Lenin’s return from exile to his conflict with Trotsky, the establishment of his feared secret police, and the harsh realities of his regime. As Anna recounts her grandfather’s life, the film offers a personal perspective on the paranoia and purges that caused even those closest to Stalin to live in constant fear.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
