1. An observation I had was that Stalin has this friendly attitude towards him by smiling and hugging a kid makes other people want  to trust him.
2. Another observation I had was that Stalin is wearing a uniform insinuating he knows/has been in a battle. This would trust him with war like decisions.
3. The last observation I made was that the kid is holding flowers and a red flag with a smile on his face. This insulates that he likes Stalin and that Stalin is a kind guy.

The message of this poster is that Stalin is a kinda man who anyone can go to, but he is also very strong and leader worthy and should be trusted.

Religion was treated as the enemy. The goal of that was to bring the community together and follow their leader. As a result churches and place of religion were destroyed. Religious leader were attacked, arrested, or killed. Follower weren't allowed to go along and would either change or go down with their religious leader.

Like religion persecution, ethnic persecution is were a race is picked and treated like the enemy in order to bring the community together. They were no longer seen as human and treated as such with violence and so on.

All media was controlled by Stalin in order to push his propaganda. The Government also withheld information as well as twisted it so citizens were believing that they were doing the right thing with a good leader. This manipulation over the media and information controls the citizen even more.
