Lazar Kaganovich - Miscellanea

Miscellanea

In 1944, the newly launched light cruiser of the project 26-bis was named after Lazar Kaganovich. It entered the Soviet Pacific Fleet in December 1944.

Kaganovich seems to have been responsible for the "eggs and omelette" metaphor commonly attributed to Stalin himself.

According to Time magazine and some newspapers, Lazar Kaganovich's son Mikhail (named after Lazar's late brother) married Svetlana Dzhugashvili, daughter of Joseph Stalin on July 3, 1951. Svetlana in her memoirs denies even the existence of such a son.
