Now that i think about it for a while, the Catholic Church had Anti-Popes, should the Orthodox Church have Anti-Saints? Should there be an image of Stalin in the icon style, except without the halo?

I think that\'s a misunderstanding of what an anti-pope was. If I remember my middle school history correctly, an anti-pope was a pretender to the papal seat who was not officially recognised by the Roman church.
