defenders are going to mark a massive salute to the 67th anniversary of the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. “No tyrant killed so many people, and the day of his death should be a national holiday of liberation – if this had not happened, the number of victims would have been much more,” – said Znak.com in the initiative group.

the Activists wished to remain anonymous for fear of provocations. Fireworks will take place at about 20:00 local time (18:00 MSK) in the center of Yekaterinburg. The exact place and time of the participants is not known. The organizers hope that next year they will be joined by other cities.

meanwhile, the Ural “Memorial” in the day of Stalin’s death for the first time in more than 30 years refused to hold an annual rally in memory of victims of Stalin’s terror. The formal reason for the refusal was the violation of the notification period, said Znak.com to human rights organizations.

“memorial” filed an application on 28 February, falsely stating that the event will be held in the form of a rally. On the same day they sent a corrected version by e-mail in which he said that I must pass a picket, but the Ministry refused to consider it on Friday and had studied the document on Monday.

“that’s the truth about the terror of the current ruling group fears most. Because the denial of a Tradicionou of the action was another attempt to prevent its disclosure,” – said human rights activists. Instead of the prohibited shares “memorial” announced pickets near the former NKVD building on Lenin Avenue, 17.

At the Yekaterinburg branch of the movement “For the truth”, created by writer Zakhar by Prilepine to the state Duma elections in 2021, in turn, offered to restore the bas-relief of Stalin on the building of the District house of officers in the capital of the Urals. In a move sure it “will receive not only a broad understanding among the population (including veterans of the great Patriotic war), but also create a positive image of the military.”

In Moscow, the Communists lay flowers at Stalin’s grave by the Kremlin wall. According to the correspondent of “Rain”, the rally was attended by about a hundred people. Near the monument to Marshal Georgy Zhukov at the Manege square were sold Souvenirs with the leader.

Before the laying of flowers, the Communist party leader Gennady Zyuganov went to the head of the charity Fund “Need help”, photographer Mitya Aleshkovsky, who came out on Manezh square with the portrait of his great-grandfather Naum Eidelman – veteran of the great Patriotic war, the winner of 15 awards and medals. In 1950 he was accused of “Jewish bourgeois nationalism” and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. After the liberation and until the end of life Adelman could not work in the profession.

“I’m out on Manezh square with the portrait of his great-grandfather to people who have every right to adore his idol, went to lay flowers at his grave by the portraits of those whose lives and destinies he has ruined,” explained Aleshkovsky in Facebook.

Zyuganov asked “how” was repressed grandfather Aleshkovsky, he replied that “the same as millions of all others.” The leader of the Communist party called the action of the journalist is a provocation and accused the democratic forces that, with them, in his opinion, in 90-e years killed 20 million Russians, the radio station “Echo of Moscow”.

Cheers, Gennady Zyuganov, called me a provocateur, and said that under my leadership was murdered 20 million Russians in the 90-ies.
