The Soviets Are Great Record Keepers. Yeah. They're Just Probably Good on Those.

The Soviets were great record keepers, which is why we have all this stuff. Often the notes that we would have from like their meetings of the Politburo would include doodles and sometimes Stalin would take out a crayon to write on the doodle of like a colleague as well. There's apparently one drawing of the countries of the USSR's finance minister at the time hanging from a rope by his genitals. If they hold up, he should be considered not guilty as if in a court of law. We will Stalin humor for there.
