Nikolai Vlasik grew up in the village of Bobynichi in the Grodno Governorate, but he was destined to become one of the most influential people of his era. For two decades—from the late 1920s to the early 1950s—Vlasik headed Joseph Stalin’s security detail. During this time, Nikolai became practically a member of the leader’s family—he not only ensured Stalin’s safety, but also helped him and his friends and family with everyday matters. Vlasik witnessed unknown chapters in the story of Stalin’s life, and he was always devoted to his superior. Nikolai greatly valued and remained loyal to his friends under any circumstances—even when those circumstances required him to despise the «enemies of the people». A serious tragedy occurred in Vlasik’s personal life—a true love that was not destined to end well.
We invite everyone interested in biographical melodramas to watch online the Series «Vlasik. Stalin’s Shadow», inspired by real events.
