“The installation of any monument with the figure of Stalin is blasphemous. - said in the statement of the Memorial. - It is in no way about deleting Stalin from history and prohibiting his mention, as Stalin himself did with the former associates destroyed by him. But the place of dictators - in museum halls, textbooks, historical monographs - in the context of their acts, and not in the squares of cities. "
