Russian Internet users have taken a shine to Hossein Yazdanpanah, a Kurdish military commander and leading political figure. Why, you ask? The guy looks a hell of a lot like Joseph Stalin.
Yazdanpanah is the commander of the Peshmerga, the military forces of the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, which are at war with ISIL and, so far, have fared quite well against the Islamic State.
