Abstract

This article has the intention to investigate on the concept of political religion with the aim to apply it to the historical-political fact of Stalinism. Different points of the Marxist-Leninist doctrine will be studied in order to show how they suit to the premises of a political religion. Finally, the distopic novel will be analyzed as an element arised as a reaction to the Stalinist experience, which in its development contains, on its turn, elements of political religion.
