As a young man, Joseph Stalin had been a student at an Orthodox Seminary. Although he quickly disavowed Orthodox teaching as well as any form of religion in favor of Atheism, he skillfully relied on the religious nature of the Russian (and other Soviet) people to create an image of himself closely akin to an Orthodox Saint. He did this by having images of himself displayed in many public places, often as statues.

Propaganda is a form of communication, often biased or misleading in nature, aimed at influencing and altering the attitude of a population toward some cause, position or political agenda in an effort to form a consensus to a standard set of belief patterns. Propaganda is information that is not impartial and used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively (perhaps lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information presented. While the term propaganda has acquired a strongly negative connotation by association with its most manipulative and jingoistic examples, propaganda in its original sense was neutral and could refer to uses that were generally positive, such as public health recommendations, signs encouraging citizens to participate in a census or election, or messages encouraging persons to report crimes to law enforcement.
Rules apply to everyone, so when someone says, "You're no exception" or "You're no exception to the rule", they mean "The rule applies to everyone, even to you."
a rule is written but a norm is a rule that it is not written but is stipulated
Cardinal rule is: A welcoming, relaxed, open, informal atmosphere in office.
Yes it is megalomania.
He used censorship to his advantage by controlling the press and printing only positive news, while all negative news from Russia that could hurt his rule was erased
With no mercy. Stalin made himself a "god" in the Soviet Union, he had his men go to all the churches in the USSR and take everything out and burn them down. Stalin also censored what artists created and what people said.
One things schools were encouraged to teach was atheism. Stalin was strongly opposed to religion. They also controlled propaganda, so other than learning regular history, they probably were told things about the greatness of Stalin and his government.
Stalinβs rule in the USSR was clearly totalitarian, but he didnβt establish it as much as continue with the existing system that he took over.

Stalin's government was known for its anti-Semitic policies. Under Stalin's rule, Russia killed over 20 million Jews (along with millions more political dissidents, homosexuals, and gypsies) in the gulags of Eastern Europe. Stalinist Russia was famous for its ever-present propaganda. The propaganda was led by Grigori Rasputin, Stalin's Minister of Propaganda. Rasputin was so dedicated to Stalin and his policies that, after Stalin died, Rasputin shot, poisoned, and drowned himself, his wife, and their Children. Stalin was not known for his public displays of affection, though he did have a girlfriend for the last years of his life. His girlfriend, Eva Peron, eventually committed suicide when Stalin died. As it was a communist nation, Stalinist Russia was free of religion. As part of the Communist Manifesto (written by John Lennon and Groucho Marx), religion was an impurity of society that needed to be exterminated from the world. Stalin was famous for his love of basketball, and for many years of his life, he had an open invitation for Michael Jordan to visit him.
