Stalin Returns To The Moscow Metro


Josef Stalin's name and image once graced the walls of the Moscow metro, but disappeared during the era of de-Stalinization in the 1950s. Now Stalin is reappearing underground -- just as his reputation is slowly being restored throughout Russia.

Produced by Alexander Kulygin of RFE/RL's Russian Service.
