The initiative to rename Stalingrad has been raised in Russia

The historical debates in the political environment of Russia are intensifying again. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia officially declared the speech of Nikita Khrushchev at the 20th Congress in 1956 as incorrect and politically biased. The resolution adopted at the congress held in the Moscow region emphasized that Khrushchev's speech on "The Cult of Personality and Its Consequences" contradicts historical truth and is based on falsified facts against Stalin.

Through this decision, the party aims to restore the historical reputation of Joseph Stalin and acknowledge his contributions to the state and party activities. Earlier, Interfax agency reported that the document aimed to restore complete historical justice regarding Stalin, based on the draft resolution.

The Communist Party has expressed its intention to officially appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin to restore the previous name "Stalingrad" to Volgograd and its region. This initiative may further intensify opposing views and historical debates regarding Stalin in the country.

In recent years, statues of Stalin have been erected in some cities of Russia, and new sculptural works have been unveiled in the Moscow metro. At the same time, it has been reported that memorials for the victims of repression are being destroyed.

In April, the name "Stalingrad" was officially restored to Volgograd airport. Zamin.uz will continue to provide prompt and impartial information about significant changes in Russia's historical heritage and state policy.
