The Disappearance of Stalin's Advisers
The disappearance of Stalin's advisers. This picture was taken in 1926 and portrays Stalin with party bosses Nikolai Antipov, Sergey Kirov, and Nikolai Shvernik (from left to right). One by one, all except Stalin disappeared from the picture.
A four-panel historical image shows Joseph Stalin standing with Soviet party officials in 1926, followed by edited versions in which the other men vanish one by one. The joke refers to Stalinist purges and the historical erasure of people who fell out of favor, making it a dark reaction meme about someone gradually removing their associates or enemies.
