Novodevichy cemetery
More background info: Novodevichy cemetery has long been a burial site second in prestigiousness only to the necropolis by the Kremlin Wall, where most of the leaders of the Soviet Union were buried from Lenin (who has his own separate mausoleum) and Stalin to Chernenko. The only exception is Stalin's successor Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), who was buried here in Novodevichy, after he had been ousted in a non-violent coup by Brezhnev and his associates who forced Khrushchev to “retire”. He had so fallen from the Politburo's grace at the time of his death that he was denied a state funeral and was banished to the second-best burial ground.
Khushchev's close ally, Anastas Mikoyan, later also ended up here, as did independent Russia's first president Boris Yeltsin and the wife of the last leader of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev’s wife Raisa.
Stalin's second wife, Nadezhda Sergeevna Alliluyeva Stalina, is buried here too. She infamously shot herself in her bedroom in 1932 after a public row with her husband at a dinner party (apparently the marriage had already been strained and rows a frequent occurrence). The case was covered up and it was claimed that she had died from an intestinal illness. She was only 31.
