Full Description
Was the deification of Lenin a show of spontaneous affection—or a planned political operation designed to solidify the revolution with the masses? This book provides a startling answer. Exploring the cult's mystical, historical, and political aspects, Tumarkin demonstrates the galvanizing power of ritual in the establishment of the post-revolutionary regime. In a new Preface and Postscript, she brings the story up to date, considering the fall of the Soviet Union and Russia's new democracy.
Contents
Russian roots of the Lenin cult; Vladimir Ilich Ulianov-Lenin; Lenin and the Bolshevik myth; illness and immortality; the nation mourns; the body and the shrine; Lenin's life after death.
