How would "Stalinism" be an apologetic term?— With this claim, I. S. Kowalczuk propagates disinfo & I wonder, to which objective (if there's one). "Stalinism" was employed by Stalin's comrades/inner circle & foreign spectators; it wasn't designed to separate commies from Stalin. In fact, it was a word coinage analogous to "Leninism", purportedly being a systematic way for dealing with the world. To emphasize ideological grounds and personality cult features in Soviet political culture by no way implies denial of its mass-movement nature & public support. Image
