Description

Folklore for Stalin examines how Russian folklore became a tool of political propaganda following the 1934 First Congress of Soviet Writers. This scholarly work by Routledge explores the curious intersection of popular culture and totalitarian politics, detailing how folklorists crafted pseudofolklore that often positioned Joseph Stalin as a heroic figure. The book includes synopses and translations of notable folklore examples from this distinctive historical period, offering essential insights into Soviet cultural production and state ideology. Published as part of the Studies of the Harriman Institute series, this analysis serves as a valuable resource for understanding how totalitarian regimes manipulated traditional cultural forms to advance political narratives and consolidate power during the Stalin era.
