Explanation:

As a totalitarian political regime, Stalinism is characterized by the presence of a single party, whose command is exercised in a dictatorial way by its leader. The decision-making processes are centralized and the state takes control over all spheres of social and individual life, directing economic production and monitoring artistic, scientific, cultural and intellectual creations. Stalinism was also marked by the presence of ostensible policing and the setting up of one of the largest spy systems in history. The persecution of opponents of the regime was brutal and justified as necessary for the protection of the course that the supposed communist revolution should take. The media were censored and religions persecuted. The propaganda played an important role and was based on Stalin's nationalism and personality cult (which took on bizarre dimensions in the last years of the regime, culminating in constructions of statues and monuments of grotesque sizes with the figure of the leader).
