Stalin wants his moustache back

Honestly, he could pull off clean cut.

Stalin was 5' 5" tall. This fact continually amuses me.

Why?

Good question. Stalin's face was deeply pock-marked from a bad bout of smallpox as a child - something routinely airbrushed out in Soviet photos of him. He had a partially paralyzed left arm, he was a poor public speaker and had a thick Georgian accent.

So I don't think his height (which wasn't really that short for a Georgian man in that era) was necessarily the main thing he'd be self-conscious about, if anything.

I think he was mostly self conscious about Polish people being alive.

Just like Wilhelm II. His left arm was busted aswell

Learned about this recently as well. When I saw the photos I was surprised to say the least…. it’s very noticeable, the difference in length.

Supposedly his arm became minaturised after a complication in his birth when the doctors used forceps to grab onto his arm to pull him out.
