I read an article a few years back that said that Lenin’s corpse in Red Square is kind of like the dead mouse in the kitchen that no one knows exactly what to do with. I LOL’ed at that one.

How much money from tourists would Russia lose, if Lenin’s corpse is, eventually, buried, or destroyed? Is the curiosity factor from tourists wanting to see the body high, or not?

Reminds me of one of my all time favorite jokes. Did you hear about the Presidential assassin they caught outside the Clinton White House? He had a Super Soaker and a gallon of Holy Water.

Mainly because it’s a tourist attraction I think. They need a UFO sighting to take its place.

He’s basically King Tutankhamun without the bling. It was probably Stalin’s way of making certain that an autopsy didn’t determine the cause of death.

Lots of rumors that Stalin hastened Lenin’s demise.

You are correct. I saw Lenin in 1992 because of curiosity, not ideology.
