Since 1924 visitors from around the globe have flocked to Moscow's famous Red Square to view the body of former revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin. But now, the Bolshevik could be relocating six feet under if the Russian people have their way with him.

So what will happen to Lenin's body? Mr Putin has said it should be up to the people to decide. And perhaps, in true Communist spirit that is exactly what Lenin would have wanted.................................... Maybe they should put it on a world tour, like P.T Barnum would have done.

I heard that Obama asked Putin if we could display the body in the Capitol Rotunda.

Put it into that medical freakshow museum in Philadelphia - the Mutter?

PIty they didn’t think to auction it off, it owuld have gotten a fortune in LA alone.

” Mr Putin has said it should be up to the people to decide.”

Meanwhile our elected officials simply do what they want and tell the people to like it.

The reason they are doing this is because he was not to be buried until they had completed his long term goal; take down the west and create global socialist state.

If what I’ve read is correct, there’s very little left of Lenin’s actual body. I guess they could bury the mannequin that’s wearing his clothes.

I think they should give him a “Weekend At Bernies” movie franchise.

I wonder what would happen to Mausoleum - that ugly tomb of his on the Red Square. It is an eye sore, but destroying it will drive russians nuts: many of them are still clinging nostalgically to the communist era and it's symbols.

I see a potential new show on Bravo....."Queer Eye for the Dead Guy."

I was there in ‘95. His body wasn’t in the tomb. I was told they had discreetly buried it. I guess not.

Send him to D.C., I am sure Obama is holding some type of Czar position open for him.

[broken_arrow1]

eBay is an option.

My thoughts exactly.

[DejaJude]

The body should come to California, he’s been voting here for years. ;-)

You're putting me on, right? If this was done in 'true Communist spirit' a bunch of high level government thugs would make the decision and impose it on the people of Russia.

Maybe it was in the lab for maintainence..?

Givn that Putin has been pumping up the Russian Orthodox Church (including attendinng services), I wonder if he will be given a Christian burial.

If they’re prudent they’ll put a stake through his heart first.
