Stalin Peace Prize

The International Stalin Peace Prize (renamed ????????????? ????????? ?????? «?? ?????????? ???? ????? ????????», the International Lenin Peace Prize as a result of destalinization) was the Soviet Union's answer to the Nobel Peace Prize. It was awarded by an international panel appointed by the Soviet government to notable individuals who the panel felt had "strengthened peace among peoples". The renamed Lenin Peace Prize is apparently still being awarded by the Russian government.
