Supporters of Russian Communists commemorated the 131st birthday of Josef Stalin, the ex-dictator of the Soviet Union.
They also offered flowers to the grave of Stalin beside the Kremlin Walls. The supporters, who reached almost 500 elderly citizens, waved their red hammer-and-sickle flags and applauded as the speakers condemned Kremlin acts to balance the hero status of Stalin.
According to Gennady Zyuganov, the leader of the Communist party, that they reaffirmed again that the epoch of Stalin was the most exceptional, successful and fruitful in the history of their state. On the other hand, Dmitry Medvedev, the president of Russia, is projected to start a new de-Stalinization force to fight the lingering cult status of the leaders of Soviet Union in January with an education crusade on the million people who died in Gulag hard labor, forced collectivization and purges under his commands.
However, the legacy of Stalin remained as one of the most sensitive subject matter in Russia. Right groups have also expressed fear over the attempts of the officials, particularly during the presidency of Vladimir Putin in 2000 to 2008, to setback his crimes in textbooks and highlight his role in industrializing Russia.
In addition, for the longing supporters who filed onto the Red Square Tuesday, Stalin stays respected for almost 30 years of ruling that led the country to the category of having great power and overcame Nazi Germany in World War II. Stalin died in 1953.
Moreover, Zyuganov also said that the former dictator as their world and atom. He was their way to the stars and their generation of Stalin is in their blood. Others who support the commemorates sang the Soviet Military Marches and some held the banners and portraits of Stalin criticizing the leaders up of Russia, as they laid red carnation flowers at the granite tomb of Stalin and in the Mausoleum of Lenin.
