Case Study: Stalinist Russia A GOVERNMENT OF TOTAL CONTROL (Pages 440–442) What is totalitarianism? The term totalitarianism describes a government that takes control of almost all parts of people’s lives. A very powerful leader leads this type of government. Usually the leader brings security to the nation. The government stays in power by using different ways to keep control. The weapons of totalitarianism include using police terror. Police may spy on people, use brutal force, or even murder them. The government might also control schools and use them to mold students’ minds. Another weapon is propaganda. This is false information that is spread by the government to make people believe the government is working for their best interests. At other times the government will censor, that is block, certain information from becoming public. Totalitarian rulers might also choose some people to persecute. The group may be blamed for things that go wrong in the country. Often these are people from a certain ethnic group or religion. They may be forced to live in certain areas or have rules that apply only to them.
