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 under Stalin's reign was used to create a cult of personality around him, portraying him as a strong and infallible leader. This propaganda also served to manipulate public opinion, suppress dissent, and control the narrative of events in the Soviet Union. It played a crucial role in consolidating Stalin's power and maintaining his regime through fear and indoctrination.
Totalitarian leaders used censorship to control the flow of information, suppressing any dissenting views or criticisms of their regime. They used propaganda to manipulate public opinion, glorifying the leader and their policies while demonizing any opposition. This helped create a sense of loyalty and obedience among the populace, allowing the leader to maintain power and support for their rule.
Lenin and Stalin used propaganda to promote their ideologies, consolidate power, maintain control over the population, and shape public opinion in their favor. Propaganda played a crucial role in shaping the narrative of their rule and legitimizing their actions to the masses.
The rise of totalitarianism, to some historians, was a logical process, but still has caused much discussion over the years. Many prominent dictators had fulfilled the yardsticks of totalitarianism to a large extent and one of these yardsticks is the use of propaganda. As for many of the yardsticks, there are a number of pertinent reasons that make propaganda such a prominent feature of totalitarian regimes. One important reason would be the fact that propaganda helped many achievements to actually come about.

After coming to power, Stalin implemented widespread censorship to consolidate his control over the Soviet Union. He restricted access to information by controlling the press, radio, and other media, ensuring that only state-approved narratives were disseminated. This censorship suppressed dissent, glorified the Communist Party, and promoted Stalin's image as an infallible leader, while also erasing or distorting historical events that contradicted the official state line. Through these measures, Stalin aimed to eliminate opposition and maintain a tight grip on the ideological landscape of the country.
Stalin and Mussolini maintained power through a combination of repression, propaganda, and the establishment of totalitarian regimes. Stalin utilized state terror, including the Great Purge and secret police, to eliminate opposition and instill fear, while promoting a cult of personality around himself. Mussolini leveraged propaganda to promote his fascist ideology, suppressing dissent through violence and censorship. Both leaders centralized authority, dismantled democratic institutions, and controlled the economy to consolidate their power and enforce loyalty.
Increase support for communism.
