Stalin Must Give Way ...!


Since his death on March 5, 1953, Yossif Stalin's body has been exhibited in what is now the "Lenin - Stalin Mausoleum" on Red Square.





After the new party leader Nikita Khrushchev Stalin in his secret speech to the delegates of the XX. Thoroughly demystified the party congress of the CPSU in 1956, now follows the next blow against the faded "father of the peoples" ...:

On the last day of the XXII. At the KDdSU party congress on October 31, 1956, Stalin's remains were removed from the mausoleum in a night-and-fog operation and buried at the Kremlin wall.



The inscription above the entrance to the mausoleum is quickly changed again - Stalin's name disappears ...:



 
Good post Martin. Khrushchev and Stalin weren't best buddies but Nikita learned to keep his mouth shut and his eyes open.

Nap, Stalin is not IN the wall he is buried next to it. Every time I have visited I have never seen his grave without flowers 0on or surrounding it.
