Everything about Lenin Peace Prize totally explained
The
International Stalin Prize or the
International Stalin Prize for Strengthening Peace Among Peoples (renamed, the
International Lenin Prize for Strengthening Peace Among Peoples as a result of
destalinization) was the
Soviet Union's equivalent 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 International Stalin Prize for Strengthening Peace Among Peoples was created in
21 December 1949 by the
ukaz of the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in honor of
Joseph Stalin's supposed seventieth birthday, although it was actually after his seventy-first. 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, on
September 6 the prize was renamed the International Lenin Prize for Strengthening Peace Among Peoples. All previous recipients were asked to return their Stalin Prize so it could be replaced by the renamed Lenin Prize. By a Decision of
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of
December 11 1989 the prize was renamed the International Lenin Peace Prize and ceased to be awarded two years later, in 1991.
The International Lenin Prize shouldn't be confused with the
International Peace Prize, awarded by the
World Peace Council. There was also a
Stalin Prize (later renamed the
USSR State Prize) created in
1941 which was awarded annually to leading Soviet writers, composers, artists and scientists.
