When I first saw all that Volkhan stuff I was like 'Wtf is this?', but seeing it more and more, I've really grown to like the originality, especially in the 'Ikon of ikons' title.
Basically I really rather like how it's not just Stalin or Castro in space, and I'd love to know how you came up with the 'Ikon of ikons' title.
