Question

How did Stalin's use of propaganda create a 'cult of personality'? How much do you agree with the following statement: "Visuals are more powerful than words." Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Soviet propaganda depicted dictador Joseph Stalin as a wise and effective leader, practically infallible. He was referred to as a great Marxist-Leninist thinker; his quotes and speeches were used as guidelines for right actions for Communist Party members and citizens. Propaganda efforts sought to portray him as a hardworking comrade who tirelessly worked for the well-being of Soviet people, someone who cared about the workers, peasants, children, women, etc.

We have to agree with the phrase "Visuals are more powerful than words," because a picture, a movie or a graphic composition will get more attention and will better convey an idea or message.

Soviet posters with carefully crafted images of comrade Stalin occupied an important place in communist propaganda.
