A cult of personality refers to a leader's ability to make himself godlike in his people's eyes, or the people's ability to think of their leader as absolute evil. This was the cause of a rift between the Chinese and the USSR residents, because the USSR looked at him as a god. They thought his “puppet governments” were defensive against the imperialist Eastern forces. The Chinese thought we was oppressing those countries, including their own.
