Communism Peak
Communism Peak (Pik Kommunizma), Tajikistan Mount Garmo, Mount Stalin Following Joseph Stalin's† fall from grace, this mountain peak in the Pamirs, discovered in 1928, was renamed in 1960, having adopted the name of Stalin in 1933. At 24 590 ft (7 495 m), it is the highest peak in the Pamirs and in the former Soviet Union, and thus naturally was reserved for Stalin when the Pamir peaks were being given new names to honour the Communist leaders in the 1920s and 1930s.
