Joseph Stalin's cult of personality became a prominent feature of Soviet popular culture.[1] Historian Archie Brown sets the celebration of Stalin's 50th birthday on 21 December 1929 as the starting point for his cult of personality.[2] For the rest of Stalin's rule, the Soviet propaganda presented Stalin as an all-powerful, all-knowing leader, with Stalin's name and image appearing everywhere.[3]
