Haha, maybe this would be indeed an "image boost". I have heard people compare the young Stalin pic to the famous Che photo.
No problem, comrade. Your avatar is an interesting choice rather than the usual middle-aged Stalins people usually have. I was wondering if Stalin would be more popular in the West if that was the image of Stalin that was more famous; the young resolute revolutionary rather than the middle-aged chairman.
Thanks for the add, comrade!
