Distinguishing Mark: Gorbachev’s birthmark.He insists that he's one of the Chummy Commies instead. Gorbachev is not presented as cruel like Stalin or even intense like Lenin, since he's much more mellow than them, here.Lenin gets lots of talk about fighting the bourgouisie and such, but compared to Stalin, he looks downright spotless.Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Stalin taunts Rasputin, the infamous hypnotist, with his eyes.Deliberately Monochrome: Lenin is depicted in red and white, meant to represent his portrayal in Soviet banners."Look into my eyes, you perverted witch."

Berserk Button: Lenin believes that Stalin completely ruined his revolution and is extremely angry about it."You'll find the ex-KGB is the best MC in the ex-CCCP!"
