Lazaro Cardenas was the last of Mexico's "revolutionary" Presidents. During his regime in the depression decade of the thirties, he expropriated powerful foreign oil interests and completed many of the democratic reforms begun by his predecessors. He was awarded a Stalin Peace Prize. The presentation of the prize took place on February 26, 1956 in a theatre that was literally packed to the walls. Gregory V. Alexandrov, Soviet movie director sent from Moscow to represent the Stalin Prize committee, beamed as he made his presentation speech.
