This book examines the favorable portrayal of Stalin in Russia today. Putin and he political elite have co-opted the processes of discourse formulation in Russian society, using these to advance positive perceptions of Stalin, while exercising control over the arenas in which any sort of alternative narratives on Stalinism might emerge.
