Политическая оценка Октябрьского переворота 1917 года как начальный этап становления культа личности Сталина в эпоху пролетарской диктатуры

Abstract

The question of the starting point of the ascent of I. V. Stalin to unified authority is still the key in the historiography of the October Revolution of 1917, which had a great influence on the formation of I. V. Stalin as a politician. The revolution has fostered in him a sense of purpose, a will to win, a desire not to overturn a political opponent. His role in the uprising is very modest. But from the speech to the speech on the pages of the Soviet mass media, Stalin more and more clearly emphasized his closeness to the leader of the revolution - V. I. Lenin, which was important for creating the image of one of the leaders of the armed uprising. Thus, the ascent to individual power began even before 1921, when Stalin became Secretary-General of the RCP (B).
