History is full of conflicting events related to the dispute which is the subject of both researchers and scientists, and ordinary people.These ambiguities is, of course, the life and death of Generalissimo Stalin's Soviet Union.

Now, few young people know where Stalin's funeral, and did not think about how people lived in the era of his reign.But once he held a thought almost all the country's citizens.

Joseph Dzhugashvili was born in a working class family.His mother was the daughter of a serf, his father worked in a shoe factory in Tiflis.Georgian accent was on Stalin's life.

His mother wanted him to become a priest.It is because of that, he entered the seminary, where he first became interested in politics.

Over time, occupying the post of Secretary General of the USSR, Stalin became known worldwide as one of the most controversial and mysterious figures.Reviews contemporaries about him astonishingly varied.Someone called it a very pleasant, such as HG Wells wrote about him as a sincere, decent and honest man.Others describe him as an ignorant and cunning trickster.Most good reviews left by famous foreigners, while criticized his countrymen.

His name is shrouded in mystery.Now we can not understand, how could so happened that he was hated, feared, but the funeral of Stalin had half the country, and many sincerely grieved.

Stalin's death, like his life, is incomprehensible, mysterious and caused a lot of speculation and questions.Nearly 60 years after his death continues to haunt the minds of puzzles people, because, for example, many ask the question, where is buried Stalin actually.

He died on March 5, 1953.The next day his body was put up to bid farewell to the Hall of Columns.

day and night on the streets waiting for their turn to say goodbye to the leader of a huge crowd of people who came not only from all over the Soviet Union, but also from abroad.

farewell to Stalin was held for three days and three nights.During the ceremony, there was a terrible stampede near Trubnaya Square, which killed more than 200 people.Accurate data currently classified.

cause of this tragedy is that go to say goodbye to the body could only Trubnaya Square, where military equipment was vygorozhena only two narrow passages, curved in the shape of "L".New arrivals crowd pressed back to those who have not yet managed to pass the passage, people were clenched, to get out of this crowd was not possible, many fell and could not crawl.Some, even after going through the crowd, Stalin did not see

Actually, Stalin's funeral, a crush that occurred in the streets, is a unique socio-psychological phenomenon.After all, people are throwing everything and ran to look at Stalin.They were ready to sacrifice themselves to get to the tomb.We can not say that it was a manifestation of love for the leader.But people feel that there is something very important, life changed forever.Few people today know that at the news of Stalin's death, many ordinary people crying (quite sincerely).They tried to say goodbye to the "beloved leader", to visit the place where Stalin's funeral.Perhaps their tears were related to the fact that all unconsciously felt and experienced the end of the era of fear always comes at a turning point.Or maybe the reason is that the mass consciousness at the time was captured by propaganda and ruling idea.People do not come to mind to doubt the greatness and power of the "father of nations."

Stalin was truly odious figure, there was not a single person in the country who would apply to it with indifference.And while people have never seen him alive, only chronicles.And now an opportunity to see for themselves already secure dictator, a man of legend.It is the desire of many people was stronger than reason.

Stalin's body was embalmed, hoisted the coffin in the mausoleum next to the body of Lenin.And in 1961, after 22 Congress of the CPSU, it was decided to remove Stalin's body from the mausoleum.He was reburied in a grave at the Kremlin wall.

body was taken secretly, at night, Red Square was cordoned off under the pretext of preparing for the parade on the 7th of November.

It is because of the fact that the entire procedure was carried out so as not to attract attention, many now doubt where buried Stalin on the very fact, and suggest that his body was even removed from Moscow.

Now we are left to speculate and assumptions that motivated people obrekshimi themselves to death in the crowd out of the desire at least once in life to look at the leader.But in some ways their behavior is understandable.After dark and mysterious figure of Generalissimo still captures the imagination of both historians and ordinary people.
