In Soviet Russia, image modifies you!

Image and even film edditing has been around for ages now. After stalin died he was eddited out from a lot of their propaganda viddeos by filming some random soldier ovr him shouting a patriotic slogan or some such crap. And this is just one example, they were doing the same sort of thing even centuries ago, lke painting a hunch on a particular englih kinds name just to gain political ground after his death etc.

On a more serious note, yeah, lots of image editing went on during the Soviet Union, and for that matter in other countries too. I suspect it was either done using the negatives or a very clever chap with a paintbrush.

Ah, here we are, there's a link for everything these days:

Let's put it this way - If Josef Stalin orders you to remove people's faces from pictures, you do it.

The order is a hint to what happens if you say it can't be done.
