1.) Glory to Stalin! - Instytut Pileckiego

Not widely known, but on the first floor of the famous Siegessäule, there are small replicas of Moscow's St. Basil's Cathedral, the Lenin Mausoleum, and the most striking exhibit of all—a painting depicting a march where people carry a portrait of Stalin with the inscription 'Glory to Stalin.' Last year, like numerous other countries, the Bundestag recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide against Ukrainians, orchestrated by Stalin himself.
