Heartwarming / The Death of Stalin

Go To

  • Molotov tearfully reuniting with his wife whom he had thought long dead.
  • The Presidium actually working together after Stalin's death to get him doctors and cover their backs. Malenkov even puts his arms around two of them and comments on how well they work together.
  • Svetlana watching out for her sot of a brother, even trying to stand up to Zhukov and the Presidium members.
  • Zhukov teasing Khrushchev.
  • The substitute conductor has a moment of this, combined with Tear Jerker: when the police start calling his name, he thinks it means he is about to be arrested for a political crime and begs his wife to go along with the accusations. While he ultimately isn't in trouble, it speaks volumes about how much he loves his wife that he was willing to do anything to spare her a terrible fate, even at his own expense.
