Are you feeling well?
Probably your extreme activity about Stalin and Mussolini was triggered by Hitler's trending?

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

stalin wasn't his name.

[–] TimeTunnel (4769) 2 years ago

Oh, I see, you want to make Stalin trending.
I don't care what the original name of this murderer was.
But go ahead.
Don't think that a Stalin-Cola will make it.
Adolf-Cola sounds better. ☺

You try pronouncing Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili, which was his real name.
Lenin's real name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.
Tito's real name was Josip Broz.
Hitler's real name was Adolf Schickelgruber.

Taking a pseudonym was in back in those days.

And now let me check who's currently "trending". ☺

Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin were all monikers or aliases. Under czarist rule they used fake names/passports to avoid detection by the czar's secret police. Hence the reason for using these fake names.
