Stalin monument update:

Moscow mayor's press service has announced they aren't gonna erect a monument to Stalin at Poklonnaya Gora (via Korrespondent.net, in Russian).

Mikhail Solomentsev, first deputy head of the press service, said the monument at Poklonnaya Gora would not commemorate Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill (as announced earlier by Oleg Tolkachev, Moscow's representative at the Russian Duma's upper house, the Federation Council), but would feature the figures of four soldiers of the anti-Hitler coalition.
