Почему Железный Феликс не вернулся на Лубянку / Редакция спецреп

The video examines the controversy surrounding the Iron Felix monument on Lubyanka, detailing how Mayor Sobyanin halted the online vote and the subsequent questions about who actually made the decision. It features commentary from Gennady Zyuganov, who argues the monument could not be demolished, and Alexey Venediktov, who claims Sobyanin consulted with higher authorities. The discussion also covers a group of bloggers and writers who urged the return of Dzerzhinsky’s statue, Dmitry Glukhovsky’s claim that the debate was a distraction from the Navalny situation, and Venediktov’s insights into the real decision‑makers. The video explores whether Stalin disliked Dzerzhinsky, the history of Lubyanka before Felix, the workshop that created the statue, the dangers involved in its removal, the fountain that replaced it, public opinions on what should be on Lubyanka, and whether reinstating Dzerzhinsky would signal a return to Soviet times. It concludes with a look at when the monument issue might be revisited. 0:00 – Sobyanin stops the vote; 1:44 – Zyuganov says the monument cannot be demolished; 2:37 – Venediktov claims Sobyanin consulted higher leadership; 6:48 – bloggers and writers call for Dzerzhinsky’s return; 8:27 – Glukhovsky says it’s a distraction from Navalny; 11:20 – Venediktov on the real decision‑makers; 14:36 – Stalin’s view of Dzerzhinsky; 17:16 – Lubyanka before Felix; 19:50 – the workshop that made the statue; 23:16 – the removal process and its dangers; 27:17 – the fountain that replaced the monument; 28:45 – public wishes for Lubyanka; 31:35 – does Dzerzhinsky’s return mean a return to the USSR?; 34:15 – when the monument issue will be revisited.
