I'm guessing it's

Joseph

I had a bad history in a post-II cold land

Joseph Stalin, post-WWII leader of Russia (cold place), possibly referring also to Cold War.

My meaning addresses lookers that just want to lend a hand

Maybe something to do with the meaning of the name Joseph?

I helped bring Nazareth's most important into this place

Joseph, foster father of Jesus (born in Nazareth)

Change the first letter in Tony for the LRA's face

Joseph Kony, leader of Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) from Uganda

  • $\begingroup$ Darn, I need to up the difficulty if these name riddles are getting solved. See #5 in the series for a challenge like that. Good job! $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 9, 2018 at 2:55
  • $\begingroup$ @XavierStanton Yeah I actually checked the #5 before I saw this one. Seems quite tough. Great work with these name riddles though. I find them really interesting. $\endgroup$
