Comments on the Material Titled “Changes in the Way Stalin Is Referred to in Soviet Propaganda”
(April 28, 1954)
Comrade Liu Shaoqi:
This document (I), together with another document compiled last winter by the Central Propaganda Department concerning the struggle against personality cult and dogmatism [2], are both important documents. They should be circulated internally to members of the CPC Central Committee and alternate members of the Central Committee who are stationed in Beijing and in various localities, as well as to comrades who ought to read them annually (such as Li Weihan and An Ziwén11 1). Please consider and make a decision accordingly.
