A small church near the Moscow Kremlin features an icon depicting Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. A similar image was at the center of a major scandal back in 2008.










This is not an icon, it is a painting. There are even paintings in churches of Jesus in front of Pilate. This not an icon and should not be venerated even though there is a saint shown.
