Update The cellfreak has tracked down a picture of th Stalin phone in one of Moscow's brick and mortar stores, and found out how this phone ended up getting sold in the first place. 

Nokia mobile phones with the image of Joseph Stalin appeared in the sale in Moscow shops, APA reports.

Nokia officials said they had no relation with a phone with Stalin, and called such a move a great blow to the brand of the company. “Even if Nokia was on the brink of ruin and release phones or panel with a portrait of Stalin was the only chance to save our business, Nokia will be has not done that”, said a Nokia official.

Haven't found a picture of the Stalin phone so far. Will post as soon as I do.
