Picture: Stalin (1915) looks like Borat (2006)

img224.imageshack.us — I was doing a little research on Stalin and went to Wikipedia (French). I started reading and came across a picture of Stalin in exile, in 1915, on which he looked just like Borat.

  • chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+103My name a Stalin. I like a sexy time. Very nice!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+93Ignore him, he's just being a ***** retard. Haven't you noticed the incredibly lame "it's fake!" trend on the net lately? He's just trying to get attention...
  • gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -1/+84ReaperJam, you fail.
  • IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+75What do you mean it's fake? If you mean the 1915 Stalin picture, well I took it from here:

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+66Quit quoting Borat guys.. he's funny. You're not.

  • ajchavar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+50i originally wanted to reply to that, then i thought, "no, not worth it," i've finally decided on just calling you an idiot.

    idiot.
  • anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37This is one hell of a slow news day on digg.
  • Chaotyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34(spoiler-ish)

    I wonder if, like Borat, Stalin has ever chased a naked fat man through a hotel lobby waving a plastic fist.

    If so, this would explain so much.
  • FacesMan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+35Aw, would you like a shmoke 'n' a pancake?
  • kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32ok explain why its obvious, cause i obviously dont see it. looks legit
  • snipes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Why would anyone want to fake a picture of Stalin?
  • IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32That's the closest Borat picture I could find. If anyone can find something better, be sure to post it.
  • asskey, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26It wasn't bad then, and it isn't bad now.
  • MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -14/+35anyone else sick of seeing and hearing people quote Borat endlessly ? It's becoming the Austin Powers of 2006
  • airencracken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Very Nice! Great Success!
  • ohhhL3ThaL, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20WOW! You're annoying and not funny! AMAZING!!!
  • MattL920, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15The only thing that spoiled was my appetite for reminding me of the scene. High five!
  • 2Deluxe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12"heh, attempt to see reactions."
    - The mating call of the loser.
  • patrickloggins, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10We buy the computers, he buy computers. We buy the rifles, he buy the rifles. We buy the missles, he cannot afford. Great success!
  • dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9what the hell are you trying to say?

  • CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10You're joking, right? Please say that you're joking, please.
  • CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8So long as you do it well and on occasion it's not bad, but I know a few people who quote him as often as they breathe, and it is a little irritating.
  • kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Can I have a light?
    Yes, everyone gets a light.
    Great Success!

    -Astounding similarity's between Borat and communism . . .

    Cigar and a Waffle?
  • shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -1/+6dude, thats funny once, not the second time
  • furst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Ohh, Stalin! That dude is hilarious!!!
  • ulyssesyt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7yeah, dumbass, surely intentional.

    "hey, i know. i'll alter my appearance to look like the leader of Russia from almost 100 years ago, then not say anything about it. it'll be hilarious!"
  • lhnz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7If by handshake you mean kiss?
  • BlueInGreen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So you're saying these comments inspired yours?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5why are american men tormented on the idea of friendly kissing? do women do it?
  • unre4l, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Not really. This Stalin fella looks like Borat with a large moustache, but that guy looks like a guy with a large moustache.

    In fact his one isn't even much like Borats at all. ;(
  • nocode, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5you gotta also consider the photo is from 1915. didn't exactly have good cameras compared to today's standards.
  • RunnyBabbit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't know why I dugg this.
  • supermanred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2To quote Borat when he was accompanying a politician while campaigning
    "He is very strong, like Stalin"

    Very nice! I like sexy time explosion in anus!
  • compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You mean it's just another day on digg?
  • Soldierboi, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Dude, some of you people are just WAY too uptight. This is the best chit on Digg right now. Like I really want to read another, "Bush approval rating -46%!" Give me a f**ing break already.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yes
  • ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Stalin in 1915... and 1915 diggs.... Vaary nice.
  • simpson100, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Borat nice. Stalin, not so much.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3i still wonder about the movie, why those two on the street were literally *tormented* on the idea that cohen wanted to have a handshake with them.
  • FuManchu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Granted, there is some similarity.
    But both pictures are not such great quality resolution.

    It's a bit of an exercise in stereotyping to imply that all Jewish men with large moustaches look the same.

    Just remember that a lot of people on "no-fly" lists probably got there with less reason, though!
  • mcottier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's funny, the internet's primary purpose is to get information, so if you don't believe anything you read or see on it, then it defeats the purpose of it.
  • FreakTrap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"waving a [rubber] fist."
  • sumskater41, on 10/12/2007, -9/+9But... what if the jew comes at me with the claw...? Or the double claw??
  • AaronMT, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3How does stupid stuff like this make to the first page......
  • Thumper13, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Can I point out that Borat looks like Stalin...not Stalin(who is dead) looks like Borat.
  • dtpollitt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Shouldn't it be "Borat looks like Stalin"? Stalin did precede Borat by, oh, 90 YEARS. No digg.
