Possessed, almost literally, by a sense of historical mission ... state into an instrument of the ruling party and transformed the economy into a mighty war machine ... far-reaching network of party clubs and political activists ... broad mass of the population subscribed to the utopian vision articulated by its leader ... average citizen applauded the thorough work of the security forces ... no room for doubt, for compromise, or mercy toward opponents ...
