Moscow Metro Installs Replica of Stalin Monument
- Moscow Metro installed a life-sized replica of a Stalin bas-relief on May 9 at Taganskaya Station, originally unveiled in 1950 and dismantled in the 1960s.
- This installation follows Russia’s de-Stalinization reversal under President Putin, amid debates on rehabilitating Stalin’s image and plans to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad.
- The replica omits original ceramic panels, colors, and ornamental details, making it more a symbolic gesture than an exact architectural restoration.
- Putin recently indicated openness to restoring the name Stalingrad to the city of Volgograd, while independent media report that 105 of Russia’s 120 Stalin monuments were installed during his 25 years in power.
- The monument’s reinstallation intensifies discussions about Russia’s leadership endorsing Stalin’s legacy despite his brutal purges and historical controversies.
