Stalin boom in Russia. One of the worst dictators in world history, Joseph Stalin, is appearing in more and more places across Russia. At the same time, monuments and museums about forced labor camps, starvation, and mass murder are disappearing. In addition to statues and monuments, textbooks and study materials for higher education have been revised. Putin's advisor and former Minister of Culture, Vladimir Medinsky, is himself a co-author of the new history books used in Russian schools, which include a special chapter on the so-called military special operation. In parallel with the growing enthusiasm for Stalin, new exhibitions about the war in Ukraine are opening in several Russian cities and in occupied Ukrainian territories. There, Ukraine is equated with Nazi Germany and Russia is assigned the role of liberator. See the feature on SVT News.
