Students of a military-sponsored school attend the opening of a series of Russian leaders, including Vladimir Lenin, background right, and Josef Stalin, background center, in Moscow, Russia, Friday, Sept. 22, 2017. The Russian Military-Historic Society, an organization founded by President Vladimir Putin and led by his culture minister, unveiled the sculptures Friday to expand its "alley of rulers" at a Moscow park, which until now had featured busts of Russian monarchs. It described the new display as part of efforts to preserve Russian history. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko), APTOPIX
