Joseph Stalin, front and center, leads a vast parade of workers and citizens from around the world in the coming Communist revolution. The Soviet Union will lead the way, but signs in German, Spanish, Hindi, and Chinese show that the rest of the world is not far behind. The title is taken from one of Stalin’s own books, published in 1931.
