Stalin Body Removed From Lenin Mausoleum
The 22nd Soviet Communist Party Congress unanimously ordered removal of Stalin’s embalmed body from the Lenin mausoleum in Red Square. Khrushchev’s denouncement spurred mass meetings and public calls to end Stalin’s display. The mausoleum was renamed Mausoleum of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and a memorial to purge victims was approved. Possible burial sites include Moscow’s Novo-Devichy cemetery with risks of desecration.
