On June 20, 1933, Clara Zetkin died in exile in Archangelskoye near Moscow, just short of 76 years old. She was buried next to the Kremlin Wall with full state and political honours.

Only when the Nazi regime had been smashed by the Soviet Red Army and its allies did she receive the recognition she deserved in her homeland. The German Democratic Republic instituted the Clara Zetkin Medal to honour outstanding champions of women's rights.
