这本书探讨了共产主义对个人的崇拜如何不仅是苏联的现象，而且是一个国际现象。当斯大林在1953年去世时，各国共产党人团结起来悼念这位代表他们事业的人物。尽管它的国际性是共产主义个人崇拜的显著特征之一，但这是第一次从真正的跨国和比较的角度来探讨这一现象的较长时期的扩展研究。至关重要的是，它与苏联列宁和斯大林邪教的国际化有关。但它也涉及不同时期和不同国家的案例，以考虑更广泛的官僚、法庭、英雄和烈士的阵容，他们既象征着对压迫的抵抗，也象征着政党国家的专制。通过研究邪教的不同表现方式，凯文·摩根不仅吸收了共产主义运动的许多主要人物，还包括一些寻求代表他们的文化名人，如毕加索和巴布斯。对个人的崇拜是斯大林主义共产主义最令人着迷、最令人不安和最显露的特征之一，正如这里重建的那样，它为人们提供了对20世纪定义政治运动之一的新见解。
This book explores how the communist cult of the individual was not just a Soviet phenomenon but an international one. When Stalin died in 1953, the communists of all countries united in mourning the figure that was the incarnation of their cause. Though its international character was one of the distinguishing features of the communist cult of personality, this is the first extended study to approach the phenomenon over the longer period of its development in a truly transnational and comparative perspective. Crucially it is concerned with the internationalisation of the Soviet cults of Lenin and Stalin. But it also ranges across different periods and national cases to consider a wider cast of bureaucrats, tribunes, heroes and martyrs who symbolised both resistance to oppression and the tyranny of the party-state. Through studying the disparate ways in which the cults were manifested, Kevin Morgan not only takes in many of the leading personalities of the communist movement, but also some of the cultural luminaries like Picasso and Barbusse who sought to represent them. The cult of the individual was one of the most fascinating, troubling and revealing features of Stalinist communism, and as reconstructed here it offers new insight into one of the defining political movements of the twentieth century.
