Stalinism, a term synonymous with the rule of Joseph Stalin, was characterized by his authoritarian leadership and the implementation of various policies that shaped Soviet society. The Palace of the Soviets, completed in 1944 but never fully realized, symbolized Stalin's grandiose vision for a socialist state. Another prominent symbol was the monument to Stalin in front of the mechanization pavilion at the All-Union Agricultural Exhibit in Moscow (1941), showcasing his cult of personality. At political gatherings like the 17th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party in February 1934, Bolshevik leader Sergei Mironovich Kirov spoke under Orzhonikidze's watchful eye. Propaganda played a crucial role during this era as seen through Stalin's propaganda poster from Latvia during its second Soviet occupation. However, before rising to power, Stalin had been part of the Bolshevik underground since 1900. This black and white photo captures him during those early years. Celebrating thirty years since Lenin's death, a stamp commemorates this significant event. Valery Chkalov meeting with Joseph Stalin showcases their close relationship as Chkalov was one of many figures who aligned themselves with Stalin's regime. On another note, Trotsky became an enemy to be destroyed according to Deni's powerful propaganda artwork from 1937. The dark side is evident through lists documenting people deported to Siberia by Russian authorities - highlighting mass repression and forced labor camps under his rule. In contrast, welcoming visitors to the 17th Congress of CPSU were representations depicting communist thinkers such as Lenin and Marx alongside Joseph Vissarionovich Djougachvili himself. Ultimately, "Higher raise the Banner" emphasizes how Marxism-Leninism merged with Stalinsim into an ideology that sought absolute control over every aspect of Soviet life – politically and socially – leaving behind a legacy marked by both achievements and atrocities.
