"Oh hey, this dictator looked good!"

At what point did this train of thought lead to /r/WTF? Put it in /r/pics if you don't know what else it fits in.

[–]WTFMeter 12 points13 points ago

Not WTF

recommended subreddit: I honestly doubt something like this fits in any subreddit. Maybe some humor oriented history subreddit.

(he doesn't look that ugly IMO)

[–]wo0sa 6 points7 points ago

He looks great actually.

Saw this posted in /r/malefashionadvice. Edit:: Here

I read cracked.com too, asshat.

[–]B0gart 0 points1 point ago

This was my first thought too.

[–]spikedoctopus 0 points1 point ago

Hearing, reading, or even thinking the word "asshat" always makes me chuckle.

[–]DisreguardMe 7 points8 points ago

Ridiculously photogenic dictator?

[–]PublicAccessNYC 1 point2 points ago

Didn't he like photoshoping images? Check the pixels.

[–]rb352007 1 point2 points ago

Is that Chesaray from The Borgias??

[–]Iainfixie 1 point2 points ago

More like Joseph "Stylin".

[–]neddyboy59 0 points1 point ago

Heavily retouched. He had heavily pockmarked skin and bad teeth.

[–]DrHaifisch 0 points1 point ago

This photograph taken during the Yalta conference in '45 gives a pretty good impression of his complexion. I wouldn't go so far as to call the guy hideous or anything, but you can certainly understand how eyewitnesses could have reacted when they looked into the face the idealistic god-king of a man as depicted by his propaganda, only to see a man. A flawed one at that. Furthermore, a pretty awful human being. It is completely understandable for accounts to depict Stalin as some kind of repugnant leprechaun.

TLDR: He probably just looked like an average dude.

Left side Keanu Reeves.

Check out young Stalin by Simon Sebag Montifiore...your mind will be blown!

[–]jared1981 0 points1 point ago

This is before he started to look like Borat.

[–]E_Snap 0 points1 point ago

He didn't look too bad later in life either. His moustache even got better.

[–]trumpetsFTW 0 points1 point ago

Funny story, he was studying to be a priest until his college hiked tuition costs a week before graduation. So he dropped out, became a bank robber. The rest is history...

[–]lumpydumdums 0 points1 point ago

He looks like that hipster douche from the Heineken commercials. Great...one more reason to dislike Stalin.

[–]Quackalicious 0 points1 point ago

Hello, nurse! He can dic my tator anytime.

[–]chingyduster 0 points1 point ago

As of late this is what I believe the mods of WTF are doing.

[–]Wumblana 0 points1 point ago

  • Dated clothing

  • What's with the scarf?

  • Hair is messy from the right side

  • Big ears

  • Butt chin

  • Uneven eyebrows

2/10 Would not bang

[–]mrpopenfresh -1 points0 points ago

Apparently in his older days Stalin was basically rotting from the inside out. He had horrible teeth, was a midget and smelled like shit.

State workers, unite! Cast off your panties!
