Forty Percent of Russia Support Lenin Reburial, 1 out of Every 5 Say His Body Should Stay in Mausoleum - Poll
Interfax ^ | 9/18/20

Moscow, September 18, Interfax - Forty percent of the respondents surveyed by the research center of the site Superjob.ru believe body of Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the October Revolution, should be reburied at a cemetery as soon as possible.

Forty-five percent of the respondents aged 35-44 would welcome such a decision, according to the results of the poll seen by Interfax.

According to the poll, an argument for such position is the opinion that Lenin played a complex role in Russian history and for that reason it is strange to say the least to artificially keep his remains on the main square of Russia.

Seventeen percent of the respondents said Lenin should be reburied later, but not now. Twenty percent of the respondents aged 45 and older said so. According to the poll, the main argument of this category of respondents is that reburial would be appropriate after the generations to whom Lenin is still dear are gone.

Twenty-two percent of the respondents believe it is right to keep the body of the leader in the Mausoleum. The percentage of such respondents among the respondents aged 45 and older is 29%. These respondents say Lenin is part of Russian history and for that reason his body should be left alone.

According to Superjob.ru, 21% of the respondents were undecided on what should be done with Lenin's body.

The poll was conducted on September 14-15, 2020. It surveys 1,600 respondents aged 18 and older who represent the economically active population of Russia living in 323 populated areas in all federal districts.

Sounds like the younger Russians understand Communism FAR BETTER than younger Americans.

I would vote to keep him ever present, but I would change his plaque to include his crimes to humanity.

Keep his stiff there, that way we know he really is dead and its good for the tourist business. Vlad would probably have been appalled at the idea of his mausoleum and displayed body. Not very progressive.

A Funeral Prye was not one of the options?

Burning Man.

Would be a great time.

That may not even be Lenin’s real cadaver.
I suspect the actual corpse had become desiccated and simply fell apart some forty years ago, like a top heavy Sand Castle.

What is on display is some inert, non organic material that is less likely to attract vermin.
Wax, polyester or acrylic. There is likely a vault jammed full of Lenin replacement Corpses. Once in a while, the Cleaning Lady’s string mop will wrap around the wheels of the display case and tip it all over.

Bury him in Seattle where everybody loves him. Intern him in one of the police stations or federal court buildings, maybe it will keep the Marxist thugs from burning them down.
Or maybe in a 7-11, I like their coffee.

So 40% say bury him, 20% want to leave him on display and the other 40%?

They could just bury the entire mausoleum with him in it. Win, win!

It is said that only the skull in the mausoleum actually belonged to Lenin.

Following his death they removed his brain to study it and determine the source of his communistic genius.

Put RBG in his place. Nobody would notice. They both look “waxed”.

Lenin is nothing but a skeleton covered with a wax face mask. It should burn nicely.
