"Stalin" in russian localization!? Oo

Dear Blizzard!
I recently found a goblin in Gadgetzan (in russian localization), whose name in Russian is called (and written) "Ð¡Ñ‚Ð°Ð»Ð»Ð¸Ð½Ð½" (literal "Stallinn" in English). So, if it 's a joke of russian translators, then it is a very bad joke. It's awful. All of you know what this name means in russian and world history.

Plz, supervise the localization more seriously.
And here is a screenshot:

Q u o t e:
Putting "Stalin" as NPC name in game is no worse than "Hitler".

The word "Hitler" is not related to the German word for "steel", making the situation a completely different one.

Locking this thread due to derailment.
