Yes, he most certainly did use dictatorial methods in Russia.
Russia, later known as the Soviet Union, had a totalitarian system, which meant that Stalin would control the country.
Stalin utilized education and indoctrination as key tools to consolidate his power by implementing a curriculum that emphasized Marxist-Leninist ideology and glorified his leadership. Schools were transformed into instruments of the state, promoting loyalty to the Communist Party and instilling a sense of Soviet nationalism. Through control of educational content and the propagation of propaganda, Stalin aimed to cultivate a generation that embraced his regime's values and suppressed dissent. Additionally, the state also monitored educational institutions to ensure adherence to party lines, reinforcing his control over public consciousness.
A common theme in both Fascist and National Socialist propagada is the leader's love of children, and in return, the children's love of the leader. I would imagine that this is a step at early indoctrination and a tool to increase the longevity of a personality cult
Joseph Stalin used indoctrination as a key tool to consolidate his power and control over the Soviet Union. He promoted a cult of personality through propaganda, emphasizing his leadership as essential to the nation's success and portraying dissenters as enemies of the state. The education system was heavily influenced by state ideology, teaching citizens to revere communism and the Communist Party while suppressing alternative viewpoints. Additionally, propaganda in the form of art, literature, and media was employed to reinforce his narratives and ensure widespread acceptance of his policies.
Stalin had a great many tactics and methods for achieving his goals. Stalin would use control and manipulation for example.
He could use his troops on the western front and not worry about the eastern front (Russia).
The indoctrination into the school club was a difficult choice.
The Czars were overall not the kindest to their people however Stalin was probably many times worse. His systematic killing of political opponents and undesirables made him one of the biggest mass murderers of all time. More people died under Stalin than under Hitler.
Many dictators have used various forms of propaganda to indoctrinate their subjects. The government tried to indoctrinate the country's youth.
You can say "Germany used the form of indoctrination on youths to manipulate their views on the Jews". Indoctrination is the act of instructively teaching something with specific ideology.
No you can not boat to Russia well you can but it would take like a month.
