It isn't going to be easy to transfer the cult of personality from Stalin to Beria. :-) If they consolidated the police state by then they could transfer that, not so much the cult of personality.
- atemerev 1y agoThe cult — maybe. But if you are bringing a comparison with the Soviet system — the autocracy itself remained for 40 more years, only to be promptly reinstated through Putin.
- intended 1y agoYou dont have a cult. You have an ecosystem that created an alternative reality. Its structural, not individual. This idea that its a strange aberration of faith - Trump isn't the problem, hes just evidence that the efforts to counter watergate are working. Its the Bannons, Stones and Murdochs of the world that create the media world for someone like Trump to exist.
