L. Feuchtwanger: It is manifestly irksome to Stalin to be worshiped as he is, and from time to time he makes fun of it... Of all the men I know who have power, Stalin is the most unpretentious. I spoke frankly to him about the vulgar and excessive cult made of him, and he replied with equal candor... He thinks it is possible even that 'wreckers' may be behind it in an attempt to discredit him. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
