High Stalinism

This refers to a period in the USSR, from the middle to the end of the Thirties. That was probably the most repressive and violent in Human History. Stalin was responsible for more deaths than any other person, including Hitler.

And at the same time, the government tried to make people happy! Quite often successfully. Many people were content to accept the increased consumer goods - and the many activities, such as dancing to jazz music, and the many movies that were also designed to keep people happy and contented.
