Theme park called Leninland, where visitors can dodge secret police and relive "the gulag experience".

Russian version of Mickey Mouse land ???

He's rolling in his grave. Oh, wait . . . .

Above URL goes to "The Ballad of Lenin's Tomb".
Part is below:

I need not tell how from my cell in Lubianka gaol,
I broke away, but listen, here's the point of all my tale. . . .
Outside the "Gay Pay Oo" none knew of that grim scene of gore;
They closed the Tomb, and then they threw it open as before.
And there was Lenin, stiff and still, a symbol and a sign,
And rancid races come to thrill and wonder at his Shrine;
And hold the thought: if Lenin rot the Soviets will decay;
And there he sleeps and calm he keeps his watch and ward for aye.
Yet if you pass that frame of glass, peer closely at his phiz,
So stern and firm it mocks the worm, it looks like wax . . . and is.
They tell you he's a mummy - don't you make that bright mistake:
I tell you - he's a dummy; aye, a fiction and a fake.
This eye beheld the bloody bomb that bashed him on the bean.
I heard the crash, I saw the flash, yet . . . there he lies serene.
And by the roar that rocked the Tomb I ask: how could that be?
But if you doubt that deed of doom, just go yourself and see.
You think I'm mad, or drunk, or both . . . Well, I don't care a damn:
I tell you this: their Lenin is a waxen, show-case SHAM.

Such was the yarn he handed me,
Down there in Casey's Bar,
That Rooshun bug with the scrambled mug
From the land of the Commissar.
It may be true, I leave it you
To figger out how far.

If the partyers really wanted to pull a goof, they would haul him of the tomb, put a cigar in his mouth, a drink in his hand, have one of the girls sit on his lap and take a picture.

So a basic form of entrepreneurship seeps into Russia.... Sweet.

Instead of standing in long lines for roller coasters, visitors get to stand in long lines for bread.

Museum staff acted as waiters at vodka-tasting parties and other events hosted by local banks and factories that often degenerated into binges with strippers, local newspapers reported.

[woot!]

So what's the problem?

[SandRat]

....degenerated into binges with strippers, local newspapers reported. It is all a far cry from Soviet times...

No it's not! In Soviet times it was the KGB running the party and pimping the whores on any big-whig they needed to blackmail.

"I think making money out of Lenin's name is a shame."

I think it's pretty f***in' hilarious!

[JimRed]

Gee, you mean Lenin wasn't a party kind'a guy? Who knew?

[Dreagon]

CAPITALISM WINS!

[MNJohnnie]

Damn, now that funny. I don't care who you are, THAT is funny.

[Popman]

Party on!!! Dude.

[Fzob]

"I think making money out of Lenin's name is a shame."

I think it's irony at its finest.

[LtKerst]

Wild Corporate Partys in Russia? and Lenin?

I see no Contradiction.

There never was a Utopia in Russia.

Communism is a Satanic Lie.

The Commie leaders ate caviar and Had Hookers all the while the people Starved...

It was worse than any Tzar.

Stalin was a Butcher and a Lunatic..and Our Media is His bastard Children.

America's Traitorous liberal Media.

Michael Moore
Katie couric
Dan Rather
Peter Jennings
Walter Kronkite
Chris Matthews

All the Scummy Inbreds.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Good old fashioned capitalism to the rescue again! THIS is a supremely delicious irony.

You can rent various Smithsonian museums for parties where booze is served. I've been to a few. Didn't see any strippers though, so I guess that's the difference.

[varyouga]

The bastard killed my ancestors so I'd be happy to dance on his grave.
