To the devs: Why are there posters of Trotsky in some of the maps?

Marxist-Leninist · Sep 13, 2011

I've seen portraits of Trotsky in some of the maps, like Barracks. They are right up alongside with Stalin. I believe this is historically inaccurate, as Trotsky is considered to be anti-Bolshevik.

Was this a simple oversight or is that poster of someone else?

Can you take screenshots for added lulz?

Clearly an alternate reality where Trotsky and Stalin were lovers. How can you refute their love?

I think it is Trotsky. (second poster)

For a game that emphasis realism and historic accuracy, this is a big blunder, if it turns out that the poster is Trotsky.

Hitler put them up to troll Stalin.

That's not Trotsky, it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Kalinin

LOL, Stalin had Trotsky hunted down to Mexico and assassinated. He continued the humiliation by putting his likeness on tacky posters for the peasants to spit on?

It looks like Grandpa Remembering issues...

I can see the resemblance.

This reminds me of the Monty Python episode where the tourist bumps his head while visiting the USSR and thinks he's Trotsky ... but only after he first thought he was Clauda Rogers and went on tour.

Marxist-Leninist · Sep 14, 2011

Wow, I did not realize Kalinin looks so much like Trotsky.

Brandmon · Sep 14, 2011

That's certainly Kalinin.

Fatalshott · Sep 14, 2011

That would be Kalinin, not Trotsky.

GossamerSolid · Sep 14, 2011

I lolled when I first saw the picture because I immediately knew it was Kalinin from the large amount of time I spent playing hearts of iron 2
