This 1942 concrete bust (entitled "Stalin I") depicts Joseph Stalin in an almost cartoonish manner. He is shown as a middle-aged to older man wearing a white shirt and looking over his left shoulder.
Stalin (1878-1953), of course, was the Premier and dictator of the USSR from 1941 to 1953. Tens of millions of executions and deaths have been attributed to his ruthless rule. Read more about him at (
