If Stalin weren’t around, the canal in the photo wouldn’t have been built, due to the labor for the project being sourced from the Gulags . And I think the probable leader of the USSR would have been either Trotsky, Zinoviev or Kamenev. Quite an interesting what if.
Edit: Molotov wouldn’t be there too, he only got his cushy positions due to being Stalin’s little lickspittle.
Edit 2: The USSR wouldn’t have been able to industrialise that quickly again without the Gulag system
Disclaimer: I don’t support Stalin nor the Gulags both of which have caused much pain and suffering. I highly recommend Anne Applebaum’s book called Gulag: A History if you would like to know more about the Gulag

Nice meme, also without Stalin in the second picture it looks as if Molotov is checking out the other guy’s bottom.
