The Stalin is a Japanese punk band formed by an activist in Tokyo in 1980. The band's name was chosen for two reasons: it is widely disliked in Japan, which the founder believed was beneficial for their image, and as a socialist, he felt that Stalin represented "the downside to every good idea." The first incarnation of The Stalin lasted until 1985. Following this period, the founder formed other related groups, including one from 1987 to 1988 and another from 1988 to 1992. After the death of frontman Michiro, the band continued with various guest players and vocalists.
