    OP why no link?

    Anyway, I have located the source and now would like to know if anyone knows if any of these still exist:

    In the early years of the Soviet Union, there was a tradition of top Bolsheviks drawing cartoons of each other during meetings, and passing each other notes with crude jokes written on them.

    Edit: This article makes this out to be like he was some humorless, friendless, isolated prude, while I would say this looks more like he is just teasing them, you know, like friends might do at times? :stalin-joking:

      No. Stalin had no friends because he MURDERED THEM ALL by his own hand and threw the rest in the gulag.

        You could almost say that Hitler as a person(you know that he liked his dog) is usually portrayed more favorably than the person that freed Europe and the world of this monster.

          Say what you want about Hitler, but he did kill Hitler.

            It would have been pretty epic if some Red Army soldiers could have gotten their hands on him first.
            Very unfortunate, but as every fascist, in the end he was just a scared little coward.

              Imagine being in the reality where he was captured by the Red Army and tried as a fucking war criminal. Can’t have that in the US. Since we have a contingency plan to literally invade The Hague if any American is imprisoned there

      "Your sense of humour says a lot about what kind of person you are. These captions show Stalin wasn't just malicious and primitive, but that he was also very dangerous." :michael-laugh:

      Damn I wish I could bust out a sketch that good in the time of a meeting. Imagine being able to draw that well that you could tease your comrades about their masturbation habits in the middle of a meeting??

      One of the last times Stalin and Trotsky talked Stalin made a crude joke about Kollontai and the young sailor she was fucking at the time. Trotsky responded by getting very offended, attempting to "defend Kollontai's honor," and storming out because he was a big bitch nerd
