I would like to point out that it is a RUSSIAN comic book. The signifier "Stalin" is highly polysemic in Russia. Primarily, it stands for kicking Hitler's sorry Aryan ass.

Stalin was a brutal thug, but he was a brutal thug who just happens to have saved civilization. Churchill and Roosevelt didn't do squat. Stalin is a demon-figure in the West, not in Russia. Look at things through their eyes.

BTW, a short while ago, Moscow held a display the uniform Hitler was wearing in the bunker when he shot himself. They were going to exhibit his skull (with bullet hole) but decided against it.
