Light cruiser ''Lazar Kaganovich''

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 is responsible for the use of the "eggs and omelette" metaphor in reference to the Great Terror ("Why wail over broken eggs when we are trying to make an omelette!"), a usage commonly attributed to Stalin himself.<sup>[13]</sup> The expression was first used in 1742 in reference to a French Royalist counter-revolution.<sup>[14]</sup>

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 3rd, 1951.<sup>[15]</sup> Svetlana in her memoirs denies even the existence of such a son.<sup>[16]</sup>
