Sylvester Stallone

Leningrad's Communist Party had earlier released a statement saying that for those born and raised in the Soviet Union, "Rambo/Stallone" will always be an embodiment of Cold War and the US military machine.

The statement said that the character represents someone who kills countless Soviet soldiers and our Vietnamese comrades, a maniacal fighter against the so-called "red threat".
