Good news are coming from the northwestern Russian region of Vologda where a full-size statue of Soviet leader and architect of the People's Antifascist Victory, Joseph Stalin, is going to be installed.
According to Georgy Filimonov, the region's Governor, the decision to commission the monument, which he said was nearly complete, had come about following multiple “requests from the public”, adding that it would be installed at a local museum housed in a building where Stalin lived briefly while in exile in 1911–1912.
