Stalin's arms were apparently of significantly different length. He adopted a variety of strategies to hide this fact, often tucking one hand into a pocket, keeping one hand inside his vest or keeping both arms folded on his lap, he was almost never seen walking with ar, down by his sides. Photos and drawing would of course be edited to show a perfect version of him. I'd imagine anyone that drew/photographed/painted Stalin with a shortened arm wold be sent to a gulag along with his family.
