[livejournal.com profile] cmcmck was saying Stalin could have chosen to be a professional opera singer (and wouldn't that have altered the course of history!) and so I was scouring the Net to see if there was any record of his singing voice- but there isn't. One thing led to another and now I have the state anthem of the Soviet Union (as sung by the Red Army Choir) going round and round in my head. It's really rather uplifting.

Imagine going to the opera in NYC to hear the new young baritone talent from Georgia, Osip Djugashvili singing in a piece with ad posters done by the new young German designer Adolf Hitler, the show produced by the new young German talent Josef Goebbels who is also beginning to make contacts in Hollywood with crits written up by the talented journalist Benito Mussolini.............

And Leni Riefenstahl lined up to make a filmed record?

Problem is I can't see Hitler ever making it big as a designer. All the artwork of his I've seen is pretty damn ordinary.

But very much in keeping with poster design of the day.
