Stalin, Trump, and the cult of personality

Великий Сталин — знамя дружбы народов СССР! Great Stalin - banner of friendship of the peoples of the Soviet Union! After reading about U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Number 1 fan”, Gene Huber, I was struck by the similarities between the adoration of Trump and that of Soviet leader, Josef Stalin. Throughout his tenure as General Secretary of the Communist Part of the Soviet Union, a cult of personality developed around Stalin.

Not always what it seems

Спасибо любимому Сталину - за счастливое детство! “Спасибо любимому Сталину - за счастливое детство!" (Thank you dear Stalin for a happy childhood.)
