Home > Stalin Peace Prize

The Stalin Peace Prize was created in 1949 by the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in honor of Josef Stalin's seventieth birthday. Unlike the Nobel Prize, the Stalin Peace Prize was usually awarded to several people a year rather than to just one individual. Following Nikita Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin at the Twentieth Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union held in 1956 the prize was renamed the International Lenin Peace Prize. All previous recipients were asked to return their International Stalin Peace Prize so it could be replaced by the renamed International Lenin Peace Prize.
