Abstract
The Introduction starts by describing in detail the events surrounding the removal of Stalin's embalmed body from its burial place in 1961. The book focuses on the complexity of the episodes of remembrance (and forgetting) of Stalin that followed. The first episode was characteristic of Soviet efforts to rethink both the Stalinist past and also Soviet memory itself throughout the first decade and a half after Stalin's death. Iconoclasm, terror testimony, and lustration, in life and in literature: the implementation and discussion of Stalin's removal from the mausoleum involved several different approaches to memory, some familiar, others more unusual or even unprecedented in the Soviet context. How has the memory of Stalin changed since then? What shape does it form today?
