The Soviet Control of Thought Through Language
The Formation of the Soviet Man (1988)
The communist regime in Soviet Russia also used this ideological technique of bending language to their purposes. Russian historian Mikhail Heller (1922-1997) highlighted this aspect of the socialist planned society in his insightful work, Cogs in the Wheel: The Formation of Soviet Man (1988).
From the rise of Vladimir Lenin with the Bolshevik Revolution in November 1917 through the near twenty-five-year reign of Josef Stalin, to the Soviet leaders at the end of the regime in 1991, language was made to serve the objectives of the socialist system.
