Stalin’s propaganda created a fatherly image of the Soviet leader. • Poets wrote hymns of praise to “the new Lenin” or “dear Comrade Stalin” OI
“‘We receive our sun from Stalin, We receive our prosperous life from Stalin… Even the good life in the tundras filled with snowstorms We made together with him, With the Son of Lenin, With Stalin the Wise.”’ • “‘Spies sought to break up our country and reestablish power of landowners and capitalists in U.S.S.R.-Shoot them!’” • “‘Revolutions are the business of peoples; for individuals they’re too heavy to wield, yet Lenin ranked foremost among his equals by his mind’s momentum his will’s firm steel” • “‘For seventeen long months my pleas, My cries have called you home. I’ve begged the hangman on my knees, My son, my dread, my own. My mind’s mixed up for good, and I’m No longer even clear Who’s man, who’s beast, nor how much time Before the end draws near.’” Quotes & poems
