In the settlement of Kureika, district of Turukhansk, unknown persons pushed
Stalin’s statue from its pedestal. This information was received by „Press-Line“
from a circle of businessman, who were directly involved in the planning and
realization of the erection of this monument to the honour of the head of the
former Soviet government.
„The people who committed this barbarian dead were masked and camouflaged. The
action was carried through on the 12 September. Locals tried to hinder them from
destroying the statue, but, unfortunately, there was an imbalance of power. Now
they are mulling in Kureika over how to get Stalin’s statue back to the pedestal“,
- said one of the businessman.
The solemn inauguration of the statue was planned to take place on the 16
September. Among the invited guests was Stalin’s grandson. The statue of the
generalissimo was to be part of the pantheon to be rebuilt to the honour of the
Leader of all Peoples, which had been closed during Khrushchev’s era.
