lenin v stalin

The characters of Lenin and Stalin are really key - I need to be able to make them very recognisable. Here are some tests:

Stalin has a very recognisable big moustache, once he came into power he would often be depicted in military uniform with his achievement badges so he would be seen as superior to the rest. He made sure propaganda after he was in charge was centred around him - thrived on adoration. 


Lenin was more modest; hated being photographed/painted. Dressed in casual, working class attire as he wanted to viewed as one of the people. Often seen wearing or clutching his hat. Had a pointy beard. His image was only really propagandised after his death.

I think these turned out well - definitely recognisable. Not sure which version our of the stencil and paper cut out I prefer, but will develop further.
