Folklore for Stalin: Russian Folklore and Pseudo-folklore of the Stalin Era

By Frank J. Miller

After the First Congress of Soviet Writers in 1934, folklore, like literature, became an instrument of the political propagandist. Folklorists began to produce works of pseudofolklore that often featured Joseph Stalin in the hero's role. This study includes synopses of some of these works.
