Stalin Were The Signs Of Propaganda

Decent Essays
I agree with you that these were signs of propaganda because they had motives to portray Stalin this way. By portraying him these two different ways they are capturing two different sides of him. I don’t believe he was exactly a bad person because he caused a certain stability with the 5 year plan which helped his people. He cared for his people but was a communist ruler. These types of propaganda gives people a choice to what they want to believe which you pointed out with at the end speaking about the different views.

    The evidence previously discussed in the investigation allows the conclusion to be drawn that aspects of Stalin’s reforms of the curriculum did increase Stalin’s cult. Stalin’s cult of personality was based on propaganda portraying Stalin has a protecting and caring fatherly figure. Stalin’s insistence on the positive qualities of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great to be emphasized (while their negative traits were ignored) was the primary instance in which Stalin adapted the history material taught in Soviet schools in order to enhance his image as a great leader among the people, especially the youth, as both Ivan and Peter were great role models for him. Most of his other educational reforms called for a focus on communism, the Communist Party and patriotism in all types of exercises; however, they were not directly linked to Stalin’s personality cult, but rather centered on general indoctrination practices to instruct children on the great achievements of the Communist Party and the inevitability of communism in order to produce loyal citizens and ensure a stable government. Thus, it can be concluded that while some aspects of Stalin’s reforms of the history curriculum contributed to his personality cult the majority of his reforms had a greater effect on generally…

    The singular narrative of the Communist Party, characterised by it’s doctrine of a public committed to unified socialist Utopianism, does not match the social or individual realities of the three friends whose mental coming-of-age forms the focus of the novel. Whereas Dmitri is saved from his suicide attempt by a truck driver, Utkin’s accident is trivialised by those around him and Samuri’s rape spawns an inherent distrust of others. The overly simplistic Party propaganda ignores the social complexities of human experience, which go beyond economic doctrine. When exposed to the western media of ‘Belmondo’ the boys experience a profound mental transformation. The potential of the collective is replaced by that of the individual, meaning,…

    In Morton A. Kaplan’s article Degrees of Evil it is stated, “There is important evidence that Stalin employed terror for reasons of personal pleasure and eventually for reasons of sheer paranoia” (Kaplan). In this instance, by what Kaplan is saying, it can easily be seen how Stalin’s actions were morally wrong. In some cases his actions had good intentions, like with trying to end the food crisis with collectivization, but the saying goes that the path to Hell is paved with good intentions. Stalin originally tried to fix things but his way of fixing it was not good, his actions were not…

    During the 1920s, the word “propaganda” did not have the passive connotation that it has today, especially in the Soviet Union. Most of the Bolsheviks’ leaders and even Soviet artists had a positive view of propaganda and considered themselves as propagandists (Russell 2009, 58). After they succeeded in their revolution, the Bolsheviks looked forward to build what they called the new social Soviet society; they wanted to enlighten the Soviet people and to create a new socialist human being. Influenced by Marxism, the Bolsheviks’ leaders believed that their role was to “raise the cultural level of people to rival that of the Western Europeans” (Kenez 2003, 26). They also believed that propaganda must be used in order to achieve their goals.…

    The film also wants to expose “bad press” about Stalin as false. It shows us “the real Stalin.” Here, Stalin is portrayed by Mikhail Gelovani, the Georgian who looks extremely like him, and who spent a great amount of time trying to sound and act like Stalin. The film can be called a pure fabrication, as it showed Stalin as a caring leader, who was only strict when it came to the military conflicts. Generally, he was pretty easy-going and pleasant to talk to, according to the film.…

    However, from the start, the alliance between the world's leading economic power, the world's largest colonial empire and the world's first Communist state was marked by mutual distrust and ideological tension. The Cold War began shortly after the end of World War II over disagreements on how postwar Europe should be rebuilt. While neither side ever “officially” fought the other, as the consequences would be too appalling with the Soviet Union’s Red Army and the Americans possession of the A-bomb, they did wage an incredible war of…

    The ideology presented in the source argues against a democratic society stating that the requirements to provide citizens with a great deal of freedom affects the stability of the country.

    TITLE TO BE DETERMINED “My last warm feelings for humanity died”, spoke Joseph Stalin, a megalomaniac and manipulative ruler, who also went by the name Uncle Joe (“Joseph Stalin-Psychopathology Of A Dictator”). Stalin used tactics that are similar to the ones used by Oceania’s Party in the novel 1984, by George Orwell. In this novel a totalitarian society is controlled by Big Brother, a symbolic figure for the ruling Party, who wields all power over the population. Strategies that are indistinguishable from the Soviet Unions’ are embedded in the text, mirroring what was happening in Russia during the time 1984 was written. The novel 1984 reflects what was happening in Stalin’s Russia, because of the similar methods of physical and psychological…

    Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union by Germany, was a massive undertaking by an ambitious dictator during World War Two. It was an undeclared attack, breaking a non-aggression agreement, and came as a smashing blow to the Stalin and a welcome development to the Chamberlin. It changed the course of the war, affecting foreign relations, resulting in the Axis and Allied Alliances we know today. The failure of Operation Barbarossa is commonly seen as a direct cause of Hitler’s downfall as it opened a two front war for Germany, created a massive enemy out of an ally and ultimately led to the Big Three Alliance that came together to end the war. Although Operation Barbarossa is notoriously viewed as one of Hitler’s greatest blunders,…
