German bisexual Stalin was popular on Tinder
A German journalist conducted a senseless but funny experiment by registering in a popular dating service on behalf of Joseph Stalin. Having spent a little time in the role of the leader, the joker shared his observations and impressions on his blog.
Journalist Paul Schwenn tried to make the profile of Comrade Stalin as realistic as possible. To do this, he found on the web some of the most attractive, in his opinion, photos of the young Joseph Vissarionovich and diluted everything, as it should be, with a touching quote.
The famous words of Stalin, uttered in 1942, were taken as a sample of the statement: "The experience of history says that the Hitlers come and go, but the German people, and the German state, remain." Schwenn changed it according to the requirements of the time, turning it into "Relationships come and go, but love remains."
Paul told his readers that initially the "groom" was not in demand among Tinder users, but as soon as he changed his sexual orientation to "bisexual", the young Dzhugashvili became in great demand. Schwenn notes that almost only men wrote to him, and on a frightening scale. In a few hours, the young Koba received more than 200 responses and the popularity of the fictional character grew like a snowball.
This is how a German troll describes typical fans of the young bisexual Stalin. Already about to wind down his activities on Tinder, Paul Schwenn received an invitation for his character to a meeting in the eastern part of Berlin. Of course, no one showed up for the date.
In the evening, the account created by the journalist was blocked by the administration of the service with the wording "publication of offensive materials". Almost simultaneously with the ban, calls from Russian numbers began to arrive on Paul's phone, indicated in his character's contacts. Paul picked up the phone several times, but he heard nothing but static. After that, the journalist decided that the experiment had come to an end and deleted the account.
