Stalin speaks against the manifestations of the cult of personality.
In Stalins letter to Comrade Stunovsky, from August 1930, we can read this thought: You talk about your "devotion" to me. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Maybe, but if the phrase wasn't accidental I would advise you to throw away the "principle" of devotion to humans. This is not the Bolshevik way. Be devoted to the working class, to his party, to his country. This is a good and useful thing. But don't confuse it with attachment to humans, that vain and useless jewel of weak intellectuals.
