Josef Stalin: Difference between revisions

Line 178:

* The man himself shows up in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' as Russia's leader during the [[WW 2]] strips, where he's shown as being an abusive, manipulative prick. Though Ivan does turn the tables on him by the end.

* In Arthur Koestler's novel ''[[Darkness At Noon]]'', he's referred as "Number One".

* ''[[Command ~~and~~ Conquer|Command and Conquer: Red Alert]]''. As much as a [[Jerkass]] as in real life. He dies differently depending on which side you're on.

* ''[[Command & Conquer|Command and Conquer: Red Alert]]''. As much as a [[Jerkass]] as in real life. He dies differently depending on which side you're on.

* Makes several appearances in [[Alternate History]] stories by [[Harry Turtledove]]:

** In ''Worldwar'', he's the same as the historical Stalin, leading the Soviet Union through [[WW 2]] after the aliens invade, and eventually being succeeded by Foreign Minister Molotov (who was sidelined and forced out of the Party in real life).

Line 189:

* The ''[[Samurai Cat]]'' books have him and Hitler as relatively genial buddies, oddly. [[World War II]] was just a bet between them to see who could kill more Russians; the loser ended up working for the winner. {{spoiler|And they all became werewolves. Even Hitler. And, oddly, neither Tomokato nor Shiro could kill him.}} For the series being very loose with reality and history (a samurai who's heard of the Chicago Cubs ''in 16th century Japan'', while discussing their awfulness with Prohibition-era gangsters).

* In ''[[Superman: Red Son]]'', Communist Superman initially reported to Stalin, before taking over leadership of the Soviet Union after Stalin's death ("The Man of Steel is dead!").

* Appears as part of The Terror's [[Legion of Doom]] on ''[[The Tick]]''.

* Appears as part of The Terror's [[Legion of Doom]] on ''[[The Tick (animation)]]''.

** Or rather, a guy who ''really looks'' like Joseph Stalin and has done some research on him. For The Terror, that's close enough for him to make the team.

* And of course, [http://johnl.org/2009/08/27/stalin-vs-hitler/ Stalin Vs. Hitler].

Line 196:

* An episode of ''[[Animaniacs]]'' had the Warners visiting the Yalta Conference, and jumping on [[Winston Churchill]]'s big belly. [[Actually Pretty Funny|Uncle Joe decides that looks like fun, and joins them]].

* In the ''[[Wild Cards]]'' superhero setting, Stalin's death is shrouded in mystery; there's a rumour that he was done in by one of his aides after turning into a vampire.

* Also in the game [[Stalin VS Martians]].

* Also in the game [[Stalin vs. Martians]].

* In Adam Robert's novel Yellow Blue Tibia, in 1946 he commissions a group of young Soviet science fiction writers to devise a fake propaganda story about an invasion of the Soviet Union by radiation aliens in order to unite the Soviet people in opposing them. Forty years later, one of the authors,Konstantin Sckvorecky, believes that the story is becoming reality when the events of Chernobyl and the Challenger disaster mirror the ones in the story. He dreams that Stalin appears to him and informs him that he (Stalin) is an alien himself and knew the invasion would come, although the book is vague as to whether this was a dream or not.

* ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' lists him as one of four [[Knights Templar]] who orchestrated [[World War II]] (the other three being FDR, Churchill and Hitler), and who controlled his subjects using an artifact that granted mind control over the populace. He was eventually killed by one of the eponymous assassins.
