In Belarus Republic there is a museum called “Line of Stalin”. It is supported by president of Belarus (as stated on their website) and it is not about Stalin as a mass killer or Stalin as a dictator, it is about Stalin’s fortifications system to protect the Soviet Union. So they have a monument of Stalin with flowers and wreaths, their official logo is featuring Stalin in what looks to me heroic image:
This place is located thirty kilometers from Minsk, an entrance ticket costs some 3 euros.
This was one of the opposition areas but Minsk was invaded by the Nazis too fast and most of the objects of this Line were exploded, still some have been preserved.
They started to restore the Line of Stalin nine years ago, the museum was finally opened by the 60s anniversary of the Victory Day.
“Soviet borders are sacred and inviolable”.
