A new sculpture - and more specifically a black bust and two plaques - dedicated to the great Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was unveiled in the city of Novosibirsk, the third largest city of Russia, on May 9th.
The monument was placed in the facade of the local offices of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, after a decision of the city council.
At the same time, a record 70 percent of Russians approve of Soviet leader Josef Stalin’s role in Russian history, according to a poll published by the independent Levada Center pollster last April.
