Totalitarian government is the exact opposite of liberal democracy…
• Suppress individual liberties
• Abolish all competing political parties
• Eliminate or regulate private property
• Use the bureaucracy and technology to impose its ideology and enforce its commands

-the ultimate goal of a totalitarian state is…
• Total control of the individual- what is believed, what values are held…
• There are no private moral judgements, no individual thought, no individual conscience…
• People have no natural rights…, they are building blocks for a new social order...

• Read: A. 0. Advienko- “Cult of Stalin”
• Russian religious tradition: worship of the saints and veneration of the Tsar were common practices…
• Stalin intensified this tradition, leading to the “cult of personality” – the deliberate fixation on an all powerful leader, whose personality exemplified the challenge of extraordinary times.
