At the end of the movie Holes, one of the boys says that he didn't know that Marion was a boy's name. The person named Marion tells him that it isn't. I've always assumed it to be a subtle John Wayne joke. (I'll admit that I myself can't reliably remember Stalin's real name. It just seemed relevant.)

Oh, and Gillian, my congratulations on actually getting Lenin, Stalin, and Wayne into the same paragraph and in an inclusively positive context. Neat feat.
One of my college professors always did tell me that I have a knack for putting two bits of information together that no one else would think to.
