==unsourced statement==
I am asking opinion on this statement and whether it should be kept, ''Stalin's death also came exactly 13 years later to the minute of signing Katyn execution orders on March 5 [[1940]] at 9:50pm.'' The page was fully protected for a few moments after I removed it and it was reverted by the user that added it. It is unsourced and the statement does not appear at the Joseph Stalin and Katyn Massacre articles at enWP, and at the Joseph Stalin article here. Threads that relate to this topic maybe found [[User talk:Goril|here]](user who added statement), [[User talk:NonvocalScream|here]] (admin who protected page), and [[WP:ST|here]] (where I posted a copy of this message).

:::Personally, I would say it is irrelevant, even if it can be sourced. For my part I would also like to see that most of the text be split into "Moscow kremlin"; I have seen multiple Kremlins in other cities. Given that this article is still quite short I would however wait with the splitting until it is longer. We don't want to create two-line stubs unnecessarily. --[[User:Eptalon|Eptalon]] ([[User talk:Eptalon|talk]]) 13:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

== stalin and kremlin ==

Because of the [[Katyn massacre]], [[Joseph Stalin]]'s body was removed from Lenin mausoleum on [[November 1]] [[1961]]. This was very ironic, because it was during a holiday ([[All Saints Day]]) that he had banned when he came to power. Stalin's death also came exactly 13 years later to the minute of signing Katyn execution orders on March 5 [[1940]] at 9:50pm. 
[[Nikita Khrushchev]] ordered his body be very deeply reburied behind the Kremlin Wall in a simple [[grave]]. Removal was part of the successful destalinization process started by Khrushchev in March [[1953]]. By 1956, all towns named and cities named after Stalin were renamed worldwide.
