"Finally, all the chronicles of the party and the revolution, even those written in the Stalinist spirit, were banned, until at every level of teaching, from the rural party cells to the academic seminaries, students were allowed to draw from one fount only, the Short Course of the History of the CPSU, [2] that bizarre and crude compendium of Stalinist myths, written or inspired by Stalin himself."

history

this is kind of interesting. history of communism, officially approved version under stalin.

eventually things liberalized.
