Give it to the Fascist Chinese.
Perhaps one of the Las Vegas casinos could purchase the mummy and put him on display in one Elvis' rhinestone studded costumes. That would be poetic justice...
Damn. I'm not much of a poetry person, but that was pretty good.
Bury him already...
Communists don't starve millions of people to death on accident. Only liberal morons believe that.
The alternative wasn't a Tsar. The alternative was a liberal representative democracy under Alexander Kerensky. Lenin took over before the planned elections for a Russian Assembly and kicked off a civil war that resulted in one of the worst governments in modern history, while Kerensky ended up teaching undergrads at Stanford.
Why not take him around the world and put him on display for a price? I'd pay a few bucks just to say I saw one of the great monsters of history. Also, charging admission would provide a useful example of "irony" for English teachers.
As horrible as Lenin was, that is no reason to desecrate the body. Just bury him and have done with it. God will take his vengence...
The same characters in charge of Lenin, frequently have to give Ho Chi Minh similar up-touch in his Hanoi freak house (likewise built by the Soviets).
I've seen Lenin, in his tomb, back in the day when the Russians thought it was cool, and brides and grooms would make a stop there between wedding and reception...
I think we should keep the old boy right there, where we can watch him.
Seriously, I don't think it's good for a country to bury its history. Let his body stay where it is as a reminder to the Russians to "never forget" what happens if you let your government get out of your control.
My best friend saw Lenin on a vist to the Soviet Union back in the early 80's.
She said the place smelled like spit.
Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov - yeah, LOTS of fungi!
I'm thinking wood chipper shot into into the local waste treatment plant.
Har!
When Lenin died, Stalin ordered the best doctors and scientists to come up with a scheme whereby they could preserve Lenin's body. This scheme was successful and Lenin's mummy was placed in a specially constructed crypt on Red Square. Lines of people came to view the body. When Stalin died, his body was also preserved and he was placed in the crypt alongside Lenin. Later during a period of de-Stalinization undertaken by Krushchev, Stalin's body was removed under cover of night and buried in a modest tomb alongside the Kremlin wall. Krushchev ordered thick layers of concrete to be placed over the tomb so that Stalin could never rise again.
Still, I think eBay is the best idea. ;-)
Or how about honorary "missle" to inaugurate this year's Punkin' Chunkin'?
Looks like he's got a bit of fungus on the back of his neck, there.
