(8 years ago)When in 1924 Lenin died of the third brain attack at 54 years of age, citizens for hours waited in long columns for miles, even though it was winter, to give the last honour. After his death Len is embalmed and his corpse preserved in the mausoleum in Square [...]
After his death Len is embalmed and his corpse preserved in the mausoleum at Red Square in Moscow.
The revolutionary was 165 cm long, clothed in new clothes, and protected from all sides with a steady shield of bullets, and because of artificial lighting, his body is completely enlightened. The guards ask visitors not to stop during the letter-like crossing of the letter W.
No conversations, no pictures, no phones. The last human resort that started the revolution in Russia today is a tourist point and under U's protection NESTO. But Lenin's mausoleum is probably not his last resort. Maybe he's late.
A survey conducted in Russia shows that 58 percent of Russians consider Lenin to be permanently buried; most think somewhere in the Kremlin district, another section requires that his desire be satisfied and buried near his mother's grave in Volkovo at St Petersburg.
On the eve of the October revolution, the Russian Orthodox Church has called for the removal of Lenin's body from the Red Square in the name of “the reconciliation of the Russian people with God” He has even requested the removal of all its monuments.
Vladimir Putin, the current Russian president, has also been hired for Lenin's burial, but he has renounced this idea because of the Communists ' strong opposition.
The maintenance of Lenin's embalmed body costs official Moscow $200,000 a year.
Steven Lee Mayers, former New York Times correspondent from Moscow, points to a fact about the Russian president's approach to Lenin.
“During the marking of big holidays, for example for the May Victory Day parade, Lenin's mausoleum is covered with scaffold”, he says.
