I made a post about this in "The Stalin Thread" a while ago, I don't think many people with better things to do than participate in The Stalin Thread saw it. Here it is with the translations attached to some of the photos:

Stalin is widely reviled by communists of all stripes for the ban on "buggery" (anal sex) of 1934 which went into effect 1935, reversing the legal gains LGBT people had made in 1917. But could the "Great Leader" have secretly been gay himself, like so many conservative politicians?

A recent exhibit in Moscow, "Messages from the Great Leader," has shown some autographs of nude lithographs by Stalin, which according to the exhibit organizers have been confirmed as his handwriting by state officials, some even using his infamous red pencil. If they are real, it looks bad: He doodles on some of the pictures, makes disgusting homophobic comments, and writes angry message to dead men - Plekhanov, Bukharin, Kalinin, etc.. rhetorically of course? Some experts doubt the authenticity since Stalin did not go totally bonkers until later in life.

BBC says that among explanations offered include that Stalin had homosexual tendencies, or that he was just bored. Some of course say these are forgeries. Alternate explanations are welcome. Personally, I doubt that Stalin - depraved as he was - actually wrote these, but the handwriting looks like his and he was known to write rude, angry remarks on official documents, using a different color of pen for different circumstances, so it's a good joke at least.

"Why so thin, Mikhail Ivanovich [Kalinin]? Do some work. Onanism is not work. Try Marxism!"

"One thinking fool is worse than 10 enemies. I. Stalin"

On this one, Stalin has drawn a stupid hat.. fitting I suppose:

"Is he afraid of the sun? Coward!!! I. Stalin"

"Plekhanov! Why are you pointing backwards? Coward and enemy of the people"

"Ginger bastard Radek, if he hadn’t pissed into the wind, if he hadn’t been angry, he would still be alive. I. Stalin.”

The funniest comment has got to be "Do not sit on the stones with your bare ass! Enter Komsomol and the workers’ faculty! Give out trunks to the fellow! I. Stalin." Underpants were drawn on this particular nude but I can't find it online

Slanderous lies! Typical Anarcho-Trotskyite propaganda against our Dear Comrade Stalin. </Anti-Revisionist>

[Tablo]

They are pretty good drawings.

[scarletghoul]

:laugh: Xaxaxa.

But really, this isn't that surprising. Everyone who researched JVS would know that he had a strange and good sense of humour.

[IllicitPopsicle]

This truly wins life.

[Sir Comradical]

Wow, Stalin and I have similar handwriting.

[Honggweilo]

Stalin, the true dada'ist. Also probably the first /b/tard;

I mean cmon :lol:

Why so thin? = why so serious?
Ginger bastard radek = Gingers have no souls

and lots of other proto meme's, the guy was a prophet!

but hey, Ludo Martens used to write poems about orgies of catholic university patriachs :rolleyes:

[scarletghoul]

Also, I don't see how these prove or even really suggest he was gay. Nudity has been a feature of art since time immemorial. Michelangelo's David is not a homoerotic piece, afaik, to use the most famous example. Really these are just funny and well done drawings of naked bolsheviks..

Also could someone list who are the people in the drawings ?

[RedStarOverChina]

And Hitler was the one who wanted to be an artist:

:D No wonder he hated Stalin so much!

[Kléber]

Stalin didn't do these drawings!

He just doodled on them (supposedly).

Those are not actually Plekhanov and Radek, they are nude models who Stalin may or may not have thought looked like other politicians.

Yeah, it didn't make sense to draw hats and underpants on them if he would have actually made them.

I have come to this conclusion: Stalin was the first /b/-tard. LOL

Edit: NVM, DR+1 made that conclusion first. xD

what was the name of that very mean queen roman poet who had an habit of composing nasty epitaphs for not-dead opponents?

he is gold too...

Could it be that I've misjudged him? No one with a hobby that hilarious could be that bad.

I just showed these drawings to my dad, who is an art professor. His mind is blown.

Called them "height of Soviet portrait". Said half his colleges at the university can't compete with Stalin.
:D:D:D


If anyone's got more of these, please post them so I can share with my Chinese comrades. They're loving it.

Nevertheless, that is one well-drawn blue rectangle hat!

Stalin would often make comments on a lot of things. He read Trotsky's works and made plenty of notations about them, for example (though I doubt they went along the lines of "TROTSKY SHOULD NOT THINK WITH HIS ASS" followed by drawn underpants or whatever). Also when Trotsky sent a letter to the Politburo in June 1937 (during the time of the Moscow Trials when the defendants were noting Trotsky's activities) calling on its members to join the Left Opposition, the NKVD intercepted it and Stalin took it and wrote "Ugly spy. Brazen spy of Hitler." Then he hid it.

Lenin would often scribble "Wrong!" or "Nonsense!" to Rosa Luxemburg's words on her views of self-determination and such, and of course Lenin's serious notations were so long that they made books out of them (http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/cw/volume38.htm). It seems it was a pretty well established practice for people to do back then, and it obviously included relieving boredom. The more artistic equivalent would be Bukharin's drawings, which had humor similar to Stalin's.

I guess that's what people would do back in the days when there was no TV or when they couldn't look up failblog or youtube.

[L.A.P.]

He had a fucked up sense of humor.

[Widerstand]

He had a fucked up sense of humor.

It's the only thing I like about him :/

[Ismail]

He had a fucked up sense of humor.His aide, Kaganovich, would often make jokes about people "spinning around on his dick" into his 90's. I think it's peasant humor.
