Apparently this is a real plotline in the new HBO It miniseries. What the fuck. (Spoilers for It: Welcome To Derry if you care) (hexbear.net)

Pennywise often transforms into the very things his victims fear most—since the monster feeds on fright

The US government captures Pennywise and sends him to Russia but the first person Pennywise meets is Gorbachev so he becomes Stalin and Russia goes communist again with Pennywise in charge and continues to take on the form of Stalin when the collective west shits itself.

Immortal Stalin thanks to Pennywise until the global revolution is completed at which point Pennywise becomes Henry Kissinger. The communists lock him in an airtight box and sink it to the bottom of the ocean like a cursed Jumanji board game.
