There's nothing wrong with having Stalin in an icon with Blessed Matrona, but look at the way he's portrayed! He is closer up in the foreground in a heroic contra posta, and his face has more detail than St. Matrona's. He has the whole propagandistic Great Leader look going for him in this icon... he is the real center of the icon, not Blessed Matrona.
