Lenin Peace Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from International Lenin Peace Prize)
The International Stalin Prize or the International Stalin Prize for Strengthening Peace Among Peoples (renamed Russian: Международная Ленинская премия «За укрепление мира между народами», 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 Josef 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 (Russian: международная Ленинская премия мира)[1] and ceased to be awarded two years later, in 1991.
The International Lenin Prize should not 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.
