Regardless of what they actually did I would be wary of calling a real person the token evil guy.

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

That seems pretty far from calling real life people evil. Countries are not people and the work is clearly portraying Russia in a particular way. My problem with the suggestion is the logo in the bottom right corner.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

Well if we are historically accurate nor Churchill nor Roosevelt were saints either, but compare to Stalin who bumps head with Hitler for the worst genocidal dictator on history... thing is the image is not about history but about an in-universe example of a cartoon version of the event.

The logo part can be edited out.

I have no problem using Richard again, even if the previous pic works better on Stupid Evil. The fact that he's Obviously Evil compared to his teammates and prone to Comedic Sociopathy goes a long way towards demonstrating the trope. For example, the last panel from this.

[up]That could work as long as it's still clear when it's shrunk down.

He's listed in the trope page, and depicting him with Nazi or Klan material is pretty easy shorthand to convey the "evil" part of the trope.

Here's the suggestion I was talking about above, cropped and scaled down:

Past time to call this one. The tag was already set to what it needed to be for this crowner result, so nothing needs to be changed there; locking up.
