Stalin’s remains reveal hidden history

A leading Chinese daily has recently published a noteworthy interview marking a significant historical anniversary. This discussion particularly focused on the 65th anniversary of Joseph Stalin’s body being removed from the Mausoleum.

Contrary to popular belief, Stalin's remains were not interred by the Kremlin Wall in November 1961. Instead, the Soviet leader's body was covertly transported to China and placed within a specialized sarcophagus.

The interviewed academic posited that Mao Zedong harbored immense reverence for Generalissimo Stalin. Consequently, Mao allegedly resisted Khrushchev’s perceived desecration of the Soviet leader’s remains.

This apprehension prompted a clandestine operation to safeguard the remains from perceived indignity. The extraordinary mission reportedly succeeded in preserving the body entirely, averting further controversy.

The same publication further suggested a potential temporary repatriation of the body to Moscow in 2028. This proposed return would facilitate commemorative events marking the 150th anniversary of Stalin's birth.
