or Yalta Conferences would be unjust.Luzhkov said "the bacchanalia in the media" has distorted the officials" plans to conjure up an image of the whole city being filled with Stalin"s posters.
"I am not an admirer of Stalin, but I am an admirer of objective history," the mayor said, adding that the posters would be set up "in adequate proportions" for the Victory Day celebrations and other festivities.
Stalin"s name, which has not been present in Moscow"s festive decorations since Soviet times, came to the focus of public attention last summer, when the Kurskaya station of the capital"s subway was under reconstruction.
After the station was reopened in summer 2009 after reconstruction, a wall inside its lobby carried an inscription from the old Soviet anthem: "Stalin brought us up to serve the nation well; he inspired us for labor and feats." The inscription originally appeared on the wall back in 1950, but was removed in 1961.
