Yeah, that image meant to be a joke.

Any Sov tank at that time capable of holding up a German armoured division would have been a KV-1

There was a KV-2, which is probably where the makers of the image got the idea,
but that was a special purpose tank for use against fixed fortifications, carrying a slow firing 152mm howitzer. Against armour, it would have been quickly overwhelmed.

And the supposed fates of the "KV-6"s are exactly what you might guess from looking at the picture.
