Cult of personality

Soviet Azerbaijan, 1938
A
cult of personality, or
cult of the leader,
[1] arises when a country's regime – or, more rarely, an individual – uses the techniques of
mass media,
propaganda, the
big lie,
spectacle,
the arts,
patriotism, and
government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning
flattery and
praise. A cult of personality is similar to
apotheosis, except that it is established by modern
social engineering techniques, usually by the state or the party in
one-party states and
dominant-party states. It is often seen in
totalitarian or
authoritarian countries.
