"Information stands telling of Stalin"s role will be placed at sites where militia detachments were formed," the source said, adding that the stands will be set up ahead of the 65th anniversary of the Soviet victory.
Stalin"s name, which has not been present in Moscow"s festive decorations since Soviet times, came to the focus of public attention last summer, when the Kurskaya station of the capital"s subway was under reconstruction.
After the station opened in summer 2009 after reconstruction, a wall inside its lobby carried an inscription from the old Soviet anthem: "Stalin brought us up to serve the nation well; he inspired us for labor and feats." The inscription originally appeared on the wall back in 1950, but was removed in 1961.
A human rights organization then sent a protest to Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, saying it deemed the restoration of inscriptions glorifying Stalin an insult to the memory of those who had died in labor camps under Stalin.
