Soviets On Skull Island

It's a little-known fact that Soviet Russia sent an expedition to Skull Island in the 1930s. Here are some rare, archive photos.

The Soviets never did anything by halves - they brought plenty of troops to 'liberate' the islanders:

Stalin himself led the force, in his 'Steel Man' battlesuit:

But the King of Skull Island - KONG - was not impressed:

There was some fighting:

And, say what you like about him, Uncle Joe remained stoic in the face of reptile halitosis:

Until Kong joined in and stomped him. The rest of the Soviet army fled:

One can only assume that he escaped, or that the Stalin who led Russia during WWII and beyond was a double. History doesn't say.
