At the same time, the cult cemented an imperial hierarchy, where Moscow constituted the uncontested center. Besides, it remains to be seen, whether debates of perceptions of the Stalin cult by the German man in the street win by the use of regional or local archives.
In these multiple contexts, Ulbricht had to secure his own personality cult against emerging criticisms, but at the same time could seize the opportunity of greater latitude to strengthen his position against factional and public challenges. In this context, the projects called for new endeavours and held the promises of a golden future for loyal socialist citizens—measured by standards of a more or less capitalist consumerism.

The part about his ascent to power was a bit boring, but it's a short and eminently readable book. The part where the author explains how, under Stalin, references to Communism and Marxisms were slowly purged and substituted with "homeland", "fatherland", and "Mother Russia" gave me chills.
