Arthu Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 (We at Finland know pretty well who that VERY evil man was...Sure showed him at fenno-russian war). Yeah... I can't believe that you people don't know who Josif Stalin was... Well, Finns weren't any better for Russians... They just thought so. Finns are same kind of bastards than Russians.

Keiphus Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 It was a daily sketch assignment on a different forum I'm a part of. "Memories of Russia" or something like that.. I forget now.... It was the first thing that came to my mind, besides the Kremlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugenyG Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Just for historical reference, the insignia is incorrect. There was no (and still isn't) such rank as two very large stars on the shoulder-board. There can be either two slighly smaller stars, meaning a lieutenant-general, or one very large star, meaning field-marshall or generalissimo (which Stalin was). The correct insignia for that rank is one large star (as large as the second-from-the-edge star on your picture), followed by an almost as big logo of the Soviet Union. Secondly, Stalin (or anyone else for that matter) never had shoulder insignia with red background. The collar-insignia was red (which you drew correctly), but the shoulders cannot be red. It should be golden for a dress/parade uniform, or green for an everyday-uniform. Overall, this and this pictures will tell you exactly what the shoulder-boards should be like on good old Uncle Joe. The leftmost insignia on the first picture would be Stalin's parade insignia, and the leftmost on the secound would be his everyday insignia. You are probably trying to replicate this image, so I see how it's easy to make the mistakes you did. On that picture, the shoulderboards are indeed golden, although they seem reddish, and they do indeed display properly a star followed by the Soviet logo. Finally, to be really accurate, the buttons on Stalin's shirt must have the soviet hammer-and-sickle on them, the outer edges of the collar red patches must have a golden embroidery and the outer edges of the collar itself must have a red embroidery. All that is properly shown in the picture I linked to. BTW: Although technically it's not required, I never saw a picture of Stalin in parade uniform without his golden star, Hero of Socialist Labor. This a good picture of it. Should NOT be confused with a similar golden star, Hero of the Soviet Union, which, while having, Stalin did not usually wear. Live free or die. First option is exhausted, so guess what remains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
