Biographer James S. Williams describes Cocteau's politics as "naturally Right-leaning."[9] During the Nazi occupation of France, Cocteau's friend Arno Breker convinced him that Adolf Hitler was a pacifist and patron of the arts with France's best interests in mind. In his diary, Cocteau accused France of disrespect towards Hitler and speculated on the Führer's sexuality. Cocteau effusively praised Breker's sculptures in an article entitled 'Salut à Breker' published in 1942. This piece caused him to be arraigned on charges of collaboration after the war, though he was cleared of any wrongdoing and had used his contacts to his failed attempt to save friends such as Max Jacob.[10]

Yes it’s a degenerate mustache certainly. In keeping with CCCP propaganda it is very printable and reproducible aside from that comedic ‘tache. Probably not angular and strength-projecting enough for CCCP propaganda. Wonder Stalin thought Picasso could create that type of strong-man comic-book style.
