How did it happen that millions of soviet people never saw the living Stalin, but were convinced that they "saw" him? Who and how baked the myth of the "beloved leader"? How did the kitchen of soviet propaganda work? This book is not going to get lost in an endless stream of Staliniana. Jan Plamper (UC Berkeley) studied the industry of creating Stalin`s image in time and space, and of creating Stalin`s myth through various genres and mechanisms. Bibliography. Illustrations. Name index.
