    Fun fact: these photos were actually doctored by the cia to make him look more like a dictator.

    It's OK to shit on anyone when what they are saying is counter to, you know, REALITY.

    Yes, Stalin was having photographs heavily redacted.

    No, it wasn't "the CIA".

    I never said the purges were un-necessary, and I wasn't shitting on your comment.

    I was shitting on the comment saying Stalin didn't do it, it was the CIA.

    It's CLEAR Stalin did it, both the purges and the photo edits.

    How on earth do you think Stalin would have even accomplished that? By that time the USSR didn't even have access to photoshop - hell nobody outside the cia even knew about it at the time

    Fun fact: the subject of that report is "comments on the change of Soviet leadership" and the header says "This is UNEVALUATED information".

    Copying @ihave69xibucks@lemmygrad.ml's comment

    You mean after he passed classified information to the French and Germans, was part of a sabotage ring to intentionally slow down soviet production, and tried to purposefully make mistakes in his designs as a form of sabotage? So he was thrown in a gulag(Scary word for prison because no other country has those right?), and forced to continue working with strict oversight so as to make sure he did not try to sabotage the designs again?

    I know the lemmy.world user will not see this, but atleast someone else who doesn't know this context might.
