YMMV / Epic Rap Battles Of History Rasputin Vs Stalin

• Unintentional Period Piece: This battle portrays Putin in a very formidable and intimidating light, in keeping with his Memetic Badass reputation at the time. Starting in 2022, this image of him would be increasingly damaged by his botched invasion of Ukraine; had the battle been made ten years later, Putin would likely be played as a good deal less badass, and probably significantly more negatively as well.
