Lenin has a team of people who spend hours every week keeping his body preserved.Just out of morbid curiosity, what do they do to him to keep him preserved?

I found this on the web. Also looking at photos of him he looks like he has a lot of wax on him. I wonder how much of his body is really "his" any more.
For four months, biochemist Boris Zbarsky and anatomist Vladimir Vorobiov worked night and day to preserve the body so that it looked as it had done in life.
Ever since, Lenin's body has been checked twice a week for deterioration. Every 18 months it is taken to a laboratory beneath its mausoleum to be undressed, examined and immersed in preserving chemicals. Nowadays, Moscow's 'mausoleumists' earn most of their money by preserving the bodies of dead mafia bosses.
