You’ve run away with this a bit too far.

Firstly, I am staunchly anti-Stalinist, anti-communist, and anti-socialist. I’ve been to former Soviet states and seen the devastation that Stalin and his ilk wrought.

Secondly, the library is a wordplay on the name of the city (or perhaps the well-known battle) of Stalingrad. That’s already a step removed from being named after Stalin.

Thirdly, stop trying to turn the world into a humourless wasteland. The policing of jokes of questionable taste screams of moral panic.
