First Monument to Stalin in “New Russia” Inaugurated by Pro-Kremlin Communists in Occupied City of Ukraine, Marking 80 Years of Soviet Victory Against Nazism

A bust of Joseph Stalin was inaugurated in the city of Melitopol, in the Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian territory currently controlled by Russia. The ceremony took place on Friday (9), marking the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Soviet Union.

The Communist Party, aligned with the Kremlin, was responsible for the event. According to the group, this is the “first” monument dedicated to Stalin in “New Russia,” a name used by Moscow to designate the occupied Ukrainian areas claimed as part of its territory since the start of the military offensive three years ago.

Local residents reported on the installation of the statue. Photos show the bronze bust of the Soviet dictator, with his characteristic mustache and a closed military jacket.

Despite the legacy of repression and the millions of deaths caused by his regime, Stalin is still seen as a hero by many Russians today.

He led the Soviet Union during World War II. Under Vladimir Putin’s government, his image has been increasingly rehabilitated.

Surveys place Stalin among the most respected and admired historical figures in the country. The inauguration reinforces Russia’s symbolic presence in the occupied areas of Ukraine.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
