In Emilio Gentile’s<span> ‘Politics as Religion,’ </span>Gentile describes the sacralising of Stalin’s regime in the following words:

After 1929, the political religion of Russia mainly concentrated on the deification of Stalin, who until his death in 1953 dominated the party and Soviet system like a tyrannical and merciless deity.</span>
