Technically Stalin wasnt Stalin either.

Cantigny Rocks just underwent a remodel. The whole building is now the 1ST ID Museum.

This may be the last of the WW2 derived heavy tanks but I feel like Western MBTs feature crept so hard that they became heavy tanks in all but name; regularly hitting 60-70 tonne weight ranges.

I do recall reading that the early Soviets had manufactured (in extremely small quantities) a more direct copy of the FT. It was a Tank Encyclopedia article iirc.

That is correct. That experience would allow the Soviets to start developing off of the FT.
