<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Natasha, post: 201000, member: 3724&quot;]I told you I have a large collection of Soviet porcelain. Hope you will like this piece and the story behind it. This is a figurine of Stalin, Soviet dictator, who had millions of people sent to GULAG and/or murdered with girl. The girl is real. Her name was Helya. In 1936 she greeted Stalin with flowers. This was captured with different photos and presented as &quot;thank you,Comrade Stalin, for our happy childhood&quot;. Soon her parents were executed for &quot;anti-Soviet activity&quot;. A few years later she was found dead as if because of heart attack. There are a lot of misterious facts in this story. I might tell you later. But the photos were widely used in the Soviet propaganda. Based on them the figurine was made. But I assume, all copies were destroyed later (or never put into production) as I only&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; saw it once. So, it is unique........[ATTACH=full]57509[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
