    • 2020 July 20, Jonathan Waterlow, It’s only a joke, comrade! Why even Stalin couldn’t kill the political quip‎[1]:
      If the Soviet media crafted a cult of personality for Stalin which tried to place him beyond criticism, some ordinary citizens hung his portrait in the toilets, mocked his heavy Georgian accent, or replaced the “t” in his name with an “r”, making him “Sralin” – not the “Man of Steel”, but the “Man of Shit”.
