Go beyond the numbing statistics of horror and misery to probe the soul of one of the 20th century's most reviled figures. * Secrets held for decades are exposed in this incisive series. * Highly-placed sources and leading experts reveal long-suppressed stories. * Meet the men and women whose support was critical to Stalin's campaigns. They are the stories that have been suppressed or overlooked for years and even generations. They expose the dark side of heroes, the humanity of villains, and the behind-the-scenes deals and bargains struck on the eve of history's most important events. Filled with extraordinary footage and interviews with eyewitnesses and those who have dedicated the lives to exposing the truth, DECLASSIFIED illuminates fresh facets of some of the most compelling personalities and moments of the past. Joseph Stalin remains a powerful and dark figure even 50 years after his death. His legacy as a personification of evil in the 20th century rivals Adolf Hitler's. Using newly unearthed materials and testimony, DECLASSIFIED reveals a never-before-seen Stalin. Archival material helps illuminate the vast foundation--human, psychological, and physical--that supported and encouraged him. And experts present portraits of the men and women who did his bidding, lived in fear of him and, more often than not, were betrayed by him.

To his supporters, he was a Caribbean Robin Hood who created free-of-charge medical and educational services for the rural and urban poor and stood up to the US. To his foes, especially Cuban Americans, he was a ruthless tyrant who crushed political freedoms and ruined the Cuban economy, making Cuba the tropical USSR. But Fidel Castro survived several challenges to his rule -- the Bay of Pigs invasion, assassination attempts, the fall of the USSR, and economic embargo. Relying on interviews with historians and Cuban exiles, but also historical footage, "Castro the Survivor" details the life of the man who mastered all skills of survival to outlive not just all Cold War-era American presidents and Soviet leaders but also the Cold War itself.
