20 Questions: Game 133

[Jamiet99uk]

Outstanding questions (for Han's assistance when they return):

10. Was this person primarily known for artistic works supporting or criticizing Communism and/or a Communist Government?

11. Was this person an actor?

12. Born 1875 or later?

[han-shahanshah]

Sorry I'll change the previous question to make it more detailed: primarily known for artistic works supporting or criticizing Communism and/or a Communist Government?

He definitely had strong views on communism, but that’s not necessarily what he’s primarily known for.

An actor?

Yes, but not primarily known for it.

Born 1875 or later?

Yes. Sort of unnecessary if you’d waited to hear answer 10.

[JECE]

Was he from a nation ever occupied or invaded by the Soviet Union after WW2?

Uh, that's only Afghanistan, although I guess that you could argue that WW2 occupations of Iran, Korea and Japan extended beyond the end of the war.

No.

Uh, that's only Afghanistan, although I guess that you could argue that WW2 occupations of Iran, Korea and Japan extended beyond the end of the war.

How would you argue that?

[JECE]

No.

Uh, that's only Afghanistan, although I guess that you could argue that WW2 occupations of Iran, Korea and Japan extended beyond the end of the war.

How would you argue that?

Because Europe is ruled out if we're looking for somebody born in Africa or Asia

Edit: oh, because Japan still claims the Kurils, for instance, and Soviet troops left Iran and Korea after VJ Day
