LeGuin had a great essay called The Stalin in The Soul regarding Zamyatin and We, I first read it in her book The Language of The Night about 40 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Language_of_the_Night

Haven't found it online, but did find this description of it http://jesseabrahamlucas.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-stalin-in-... - for some reason I remembered it as the Stalin of The Soul.

on edit: Note the description is anti-LeGuin, and her conclusions of the essay, but is still worth reading I think.
