Stalin awakes and finds himself enveloped in his lovers arms. If only he could go back to the days wherein his reputation was being trashed and his crimes exposed by that Gorbachev fellow and tell his younger self that everything was going to be alright!
A muffled snore escapes from Kruschev and the corner of Stalin's mouth turns up in amusement. Lazily, he lets his eyes droop once more and doesn't awaken until the harsh noise of a ringing phone interrupts his dozing.
Josef fumbles for the device and brings it to his ear. "Mr. Stalin" the person on the other end begins "We've received terrible news! A world famous newspaper seems to have snapped you and Mr. Kruschev in the airport last week and has published it on the second page!"
Second page! Stalin was aghast. What a tragedy! Surely "long dead communist dictator re-emerges in Venezuela with fiancé in tow" was a good enough headline to slap on the front page?
"Josef you're missing the point" the voice on the other end of the line continues, almost wearily. "What are you going to do? You can't have the press discover you're immortal!"
Stalin sat up in shock. The horror! Imagine if the whole world found out about him! He'd be killed, or worse, shut up in some grisly prison cell and be unable to tan.
Josef quickly pecked Nikita goodbye and shoved on a fake moustache. Time to reply to the rumours! He met some less well known communists in an abandoned warehouse and got to work. Before dusk, the team had filmed a video where Stalin attempted to convince the public that he was not the infamous generalissimo after all but instead an imposter to which he bared an uncanny resemblance.
"Can I say sir, that french accent is impeccable!" an unimportant communist addresses Stalin. "Oh I know" Josef replied graciously "I've always fancied myself as a Frenchman."
With that the video was uploaded to youtube and the immortal men sat back and watched the views roll in.
"Are people convinced?" Josef asked and in response his counterparts began to read some of the comments out loud.
"What kind of weirdo would want to look like Stalin? 😹😹" one said..
"Who has had more plastic surgery? This french wannabe or Kim Kardashian?"
Stalin reeled back in shock. He knew he had fallen out of favour but is this truly his legacy? He had to fix this! But how could he repair his reputation from beyond the grave..?
