Joseph Stalin Wasn't Afraid of Photoshop, Either
This photo is actually one of the most famous historic photos that were photoshopped. Stalin, like other dictators, didn't want any traitors or ex-friends in any photos with them. So, he had them photoshopped out. To the left of Stalin is Nikolai Yezhov, the head of the police force...
Removed From History
Yezhov ended up falling out of Stalin's good graces, so Stalin tried to get him removed from history. Any photos of Stalin and Yezhov together had to be redistributed after the photoshop job was complete. Once again, dictators really love their image.
