Soviet film question

[Kathleen Ahern]

My class recently watched the Abram Room film, "Bed and Sofa" In the film,
the husband returns from a trip and notices that the calendar "days"
haven't been ripped off. He asks if time had stopped while he was away.
The calendar clearly displays what looks like a picture of Stalin--the
film, according to my DVD jacket, was released in 1927--wasn't that a bit
early for such a prominent display of Stalin adoration? Were there
calendars that simply featured prominent or popular Soviet leaders at the
time? Please enlighten me!
