Stalin Monument Replica Installed In Moscow Metro

MOSCOW, RUSSIA - MAY 15: Passengers walk past to a new monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, installed at Taganskaya station of Moscow Metro on May 15, 2025 in Moscow, Russia. A monument to Soviet dictator Josef Stalin installed in a Moscow Metro station this week is a replica of one that was removed from the same station in 1966. Following Stalin's repressive reign during the Soviet era, many of his likenesses were removed from public view, but have slowly reappeared in recent years under the rule of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
