This is a hard puzzle to review. The puzzle itself was an enjoyable solve, and the image is certainly evocative and full of life. The American flag is what is throwing me for a loop. Is the 'speaker' in this puzzle supposed to be a US politician? Because it bears a striking resemblance to Hitler. If that was the intention, I must say I am befuddled at the political stance the image/constructor is taking. I cannot accurately comment on something I don't fully understand, so I'll just leave it at this: I find comparisons of country and world leaders to Hitler to be shallow, unintelligent and often shocking merely for the sake of it. I would love some clarity from the creator so I might more accurately critique this puzzle!
As an interesting side note, a google image search for "Hitler next to US flag" only returned results with images of former President Trump and former Secretary Spicer. Hitler didn't appear until almost the bottom of the first page of most relevant images.

Apart from it being what appears to be a white male, I hardly see any resemblance to Hitler at all.

The position of the arm, the shape of the face, the way is nose is defined by the darkness underneath, which could very well be a shadow, but looks suspiciously like Hitler's iconic mustache. I could be wrong (have to wait and see if the creator weighs in on this) but my immediate reaction upon completion was "that looks like Hitler!" Surely I can't be the only one.

Nikita Khrushchev? The author has done many portraits of famous Russian politicians.
