As a student I lived in Paris near Montparnasse Cemetery. Alekhinešs
tomb was there. I remember it being in pink granite and the lighting
was bad so I could never get a good photo of the inscription * it was
always in deep shadow. I believe his wife, né Grace Wishart (?), was
there too. It was dedicated in 1956 and I guess rehabilitation was
complete because there was also The Alekhine Memorial Tournament in
Moscow. Several Soviet chessplayers were at the dedication in Paris.
In 1999 there was damage to the grave, it is easy enough to use
google to find the picture. I have heard that Polugaevsky is buried in
Montparnasse as well.
