Hey, Joe ...

... where you going with that pipe in your hand? But seriously, folks.

Can't get enough of Uncle Joe? If so, don't miss the Magnum Photos essay about the late Soviet dictator Josef Stalin over at Slate. Party like it's 1939, right here. Be forewarned, comrades: few, if any, of the photos conform to the glorious Soviet standard of socialist realism, and I suspect that some of them may be even serving counterrevolutionary purposes!

I love the photo of the female standing in front of the gov't panel modelling clothes in order to decide what clothes will be sold to women.

Nice freedom...

I don't understand how people continue to defend Stalin.
