tightened State control over the economy
and society, leading to the harshest period of
Soviet rule, which lasted from 1928 until
Stalin‟s death in 1953. Comprehensive state
planning of the economy, centralized control
of output and prices, agricultural
collectivization, and a priority on heavy
industrialization characterized this period.
These policies were enforced through
coercion – Stalin is famous for his rule by
terror, mass purges, and gulag system. The
role of propaganda during this time was to
promote the benefits of State policies such
as collectivization and industrialization and
mobilize the masses behind them, as well as
to provide an ideological justification for
Stalin‟s terror. Propaganda artists also built
up a cult of personality around Stalin,
portraying him as the beloved father of the
Soviet Union. Under Stalin, the purpose of
Soviet propaganda became the glorification
of the State, its policies, and its leader.
