Anger as Stalin returns to Ukraine

Statue of the Soviet leader is erected outside Communist Party offices.

Russia marks Stalin anniversary

A controversial new statue of Joseph Stalin, the former leader of the Soviet Union. has been unveiled in Ukraine, to the horror of many people living there.

For some Stalin is a hero figure, but those Ukrainians who remember the atrocities committed under his rule in the 1930s – during which millions were killed – the statue is an insult.
