Stalin's grave, Kremlin Wall Necropolis, Red Square, Moscow, Russia

            Immediately after his death in March 1953, Joseph Stalin's body was embalmed and put on display next to Lenin's in the latter's Mausoleum on Red Square. However, de-Stalinisation meant the body was removed in October 1961 and transferred to a grave in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis, behind the Mausoleum, alongside other Soviet politicians, military officers, scientists and (later) cosmonauts.  The statue, by Socialist Realist sculptor Nikolai Tomsky, was added in 1970.

Stalin's is one of twelve individual tombs, whilst the cremation urns of 107 men and 8 women are interred within the Kremlin Wall itself. The visible plaques mark the urns of Boris Shaposhnikov (1882–1945), Marshal of the Soviet Union, and Klavdia Nikolaeva (1893–1944), revolutionary and campaigner for Soviet women's rights.
