The Russian Myth of Power versus Personality Cult
Abstract
The considerations in this paper focus upon the Russian idea of which consequence and
extension is mythology of the Soviet times. We refer to the myths of tsarist Russia and to
a specific relation to the authorities in Russia. The main theme of this paper concerns
mythology of the Soviet times, especially one of its elements namely, the myth of power.
The attention has been shifted to the history of personality cult, which revolved around
Joseph Stalin.
The position of the leader in the Stalinist soviet state can be conditioned by a relation to the
authorities of which origin may be traced back to pre-revolutionary times. In the summary,
an attempt has been made to unmask the myth of the leader on the basis of selected works
from the circle of Russian samizdat literature.
