Two men impersonating Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin got into a fight on Manezh Square on Monday when Stalin accused Lenin of working with another Stalin behind his back, city news agency Moskva reported.
Latifa Valiyev, who works as a Stalin double, accused his partner Igor Gorbunov — a Lenin double — of working with his rival, another Stalin impersonator posing for photos with tourists on Manezh Square.
During the heated exchange, Valiyev hit Gorbunov with an umbrella three times, the report said.
The Moscow metro Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the incident, as the incident occurred in the entrance to the Okhotny Ryad metro station, Moskva reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
