Wasn't there a Dr. Who comic in which the Doctor meets Stalin and ends up saying that history would misremember him lmao

Edit: found it. Was a short story. https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Closing_the_Account_(short_story)

Summary:

Josef, who has been the president of his country for several decades, is dying. He wants the Doctor to visit him, so he captures Ace.

As Josef and the Doctor talk, Josef reveals that he has noticed a few things about the Doctor. Though they have met several times, and the last time was twenty-five years ago, the Doctor hasn't changed or aged. In addition, when he comes and goes, there is always a blue box involved.

Josef has deduced that the Doctor can see the future and wants to know what his legacy will be. The Doctor tells him that for over a hundred years, people will vilify him, but after that, people will realise that his actions, though sometimes wrong, were the right thing to do and they will continue his work.

Unfortunately, there's also a story where the Doctor saves bathroom. https://tardis.wiki/wiki/The_Assassin%27s_Story_(short_story)

See but both the OP and the story I mentioned are from the 7th doctor. This is the 5th. So maybe the 5th's personality was more lib and the 7th was more commie.

Seems likely.

The character of Helen A was intended to satirise then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The character would say, "I like your initiative, your enterprise" while her secret police rounded up dissidents. In the story, the Doctor persuades "the drones", who toil in the factories and mines, to down tools and rise up in revolt, an echo of the miners' strikes and printers' disputes during Thatcher's first two terms in office.

waow-based
