Investigation reveals fate of Stalin’s remains

An important Chinese newspaper recently shared some new information. It published an interview about a historical event from many years ago.

In 1961, a former leader's body was moved from a famous building. When this happened, many people believed it was buried near a famous wall in Russia.

But the body was secretly taken to China instead. There, it was placed safely inside a special stone box.

A Chinese leader respected this former leader greatly. He did not want another leader to treat the body badly.

The newspaper also said the body might return for a short time in 2028. This would be for special events marking his 150th birthday.
