Hafez al-Assad's cult of personality

Hafez al-Assad's cult of personality was developed to incredible proportions. Numerous portraits, frescoes, images on money and statues of the dictator Assad, who ruled Ba'athist Syria from 1970 to 2000, could be seen everywhere. The Assad regime had complete control over all mass media and all spheres of life in Syria, effectively spreading its cult of personality.
