Lenin should and might be buried in 2017- exactly 100 years after the bolshevik revolution.

I would like to note that while Lenin is perhaps the most famous modern mummy, other soviet leaders were mummified for the purpose of display. Those responsible were chemist Zbarsky and anatomist Vorobiov. Both died under mysterious circumstances. Zbarsky's student Debov took over the care of Lenin and was involved with the mummification of Stalin. Debov, his mentors and eventual students came to be known as Mausoleumists.

The mummification of Ho Chi Min was attempted but horribly botched.

Also Eva PerÃ³n was mummified in a process that spanned a year and displayed for quite some time.

If anyone needs erasing from history - ala - Stalin, it's that scumbag Lenin.
Definitely in the top five candidates for worst person in history.

That figures.

Joseph Stalin, who was trained in Germany and brought into Russia in a blacked-out train desecrates the will of the leader of the county he is sent to ruin.

It makes perfect sense to me.

It's a bit shameful, that de-commied Russia still has this barbarian on display. But I guess the Russians learned over the years that there is great capitalist potential (tourist $) in keeping him there. What's more important, I suppose, is that they've removed his statues, murals, &c., from the non-tourist areas.

I am just amazed that they still can preserve the dead bodies after all these years if they are real.

Ironic that their bodies still survive after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
