The Stalin Cult in East Germany and the Making of the Postwar Soviet Empire, 1945–1961: summary, description and annotation

This book examines the construction, dissemination, and reception of the Stalin cult in East Germany from the end of World War II to the building of the Berlin Wall. By exporting Stalins cult to the Eastern bloc, Moscow aspired to symbolically unite the communist states in an imagined cult community pivoting around the Soviet leader. Based on Russian and German archives, this work analyzes the emergence of the Stalin cults transnational dimension. On one hand, it looks at how Soviet representations of power were transferred and adapted in the former enemys country. On the other hand, it reconstructs spaces of agency where different agents and generations interpreted, manipulated, and used the Stalin cult to negotiate social identities and everyday life. This study reveals both the dynamics of Stalinism as a political system after the Cold War began and the foundations of modern politics through mass mobilization, emotional bonding, and social engineering in Soviet-style societies. As an integral part of the global history of communism, this book opens up a comparative, entangled perspective on the ways in which veneration of Stalin and other nationalistic cults were established in socialist states across Europe and beyond.

This book is a revised and expanded version of the Russian edition of Best Friend of the German People: Stalins Cult in East Germany (19451961), which was published in the ROSSPEN series History of Stalinism in 2014. The opportunity to further develop and deepen my monograph for an English-speaking readership became possible at Bielefeld University. I sincerely thank Frank Grner for his comprehensive support and for a stimulating working environment.
This book is based on my dissertation, The Image of Stalin in East German Public Opinion (19451956), which I wrote under the supervision of Professor Alexander S. Khodnev at the Iaroslavl K. D. Ushinskii State Pedagogical University. There I had the great fortune to work and study with Anna Afanaseva, Lubov M. Arkhipova, Iulia Barlova, Alexander Eremin, Alexander M. Ermakov, Alexei Khmeltsov, Natalia Kolgushova, Andrei B. Sokolov, Anna Tikhomirova, and Alexander S. Khodnev. I would like to thank them for their cordiality and support.
