Lenin As He Is Today

Many of our readers know that in the middle of Moscow, right on the Red Square, next to the Kremlin there is a Lenin’s tomb, called “mausoleum”.

There, inside, mummy of Lenin lies. Really, not only Egyptians made mummies but Soviet authorities decided to make a mummy of Lenin as a symbol of Soviet Era and October Revolution.

This Lenin’s tomb was a real shrine for all the Russian people who came all over the vast Russia to visit the Red Square and mausoleum. There were alway long lines on entrance, people had to wait a few hours as minimum in order to enter and take a fast glance of Lenin, or the piece of what 70 years ago was called Lenin.

Nowadays many people demand to remove the body or the mummy from the middle of the Red Square and bury it, but still there are many people brought up in communist style who are against this so powers afraid on making some sheer action on the tomb.

And because its all made of flesh and bones, at least it was made of it, it needs some cleaning and service a few times a year. Here we have some screenshots from Russian TV channel where the operation of regular service on Lenin’s mummy was shown.

Please be informed that some of the pics may be a little bit not a nice thing to look at.

    1. Jesus, he looks alot worse when shown there naked.

      Granted, what did I expect from someone dead about 80 years. ;D

    2. firsak says:

      Ленин жил, Ленин жив, Ленин будет жив!

      Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live!

      • Nebu99 says:

        Lenin died, Lenin is dead and Lenin will stay dead. Thank god.

      • Mayor says:

        Thank God, he is dead. I hope future generation make a real balance, who was this man. He changed the history of the world, no for good things. He is responsible of the death of millions and millions of person around the world. His stupid ideas and behavior affected and still is affecting billions of people in this world. Unfortunadely his ideas are still around and are a flag for others who think he was right. Some of then have master soul, the rest of then slaves soul.
        I want a free world, where people can be itself, where I can think in my way and not in the way of some want or impose to us.
        For a free world of dictators, under God.

        • firsak says:

          Who knows better that Lenin was wrong, stupid, etc, etc, etc than a 15 year old kid like you?

          • Mayor says:

            I am not a 15 years old. I am 52 yo. I am a victim of a communist regimen, who have to left my country because my own ideas were again a dictatorial regimen implant there for the former URSS. I am not a common citizen of USA, I am an emigrant who coming to this country (USA)for freedom. I don’t know what old are you, I am not criticized you. You only need to learn more about the real history of the world.
            Probably you are a victim like myself, in your case worse because you are still defending something it’s indefensible.
            You are a brainwash victim of the communist. My intention is not at all offense you, again for me you are a victim.

            • firsak says:

              Most “victims” of the communist regime were scumbags, traitors, whistlers and other riffraff. The country that you left for built its so called freedom on the bones of hundreds of millions, not just millions of people.

            • Chasseur says:

              Mayor is right. I have no experience at all with communism, so you can call me dumb, but you can’t excuse the millions of deaths that lenin and his gang caused.

    3. The body shown during procedure is NOT Lenin`s body. It is a “test-dummy”, that was used during the research in 1920`s, to measure the compounds of solutions and to polish the “technology”. As I remember, it belonged to unknown homeless person, who died on one of Moscow`s railway stations in 1924.

      The tomb itself is designed to house a coffin at below-ground level, so it is technically a crypt. A lot of people are buried in crypts all over the world.

      And what I personally recommend to everybody - do not disturb the dead. Leave it where it is.

    4. maxD says:

      I read that Mao’s embalmers in the 70’s did some extra restorations on Lenin’s body since it was in pretty bad shape back then. Like his ears were falling off and were replaced with wax models. Pretty gross.

      As far as I am concerned, bury the man and let him rest in peace. I guess if he would have known he was going to be put on display after his death he wouldn’t agree with that. Anyway.

      • ttlsd says:

        It was part of communism’s ideology -they haven’t believed in God, Jesus Christ and so on… There was atheism. Lenin also was atheist. I think he wanted to be in such condition in our times, he was a real lider with faith in what he was doing. I don’t want to say that all what he has done - good for Russia. I mean that he was unusual person.

        And photos 4-10 - it isn’t Lenin, you can find a differences.

        • Doug says:

          Jesus is no longer in his grave, Lenin is. Lenin will rise again with the rest of us to be judged.

          • John A says:

            You said it brother! God bless you!

            • “Praise Gawd-uh! Praise Jaysus-uh! Kick a queer for Christ-uh! Send in your donations now-uh! Phone lines are open-uh! Operators are standing by-uh! If we don’t get enough to build a 30,000 seat church and buy me a Bentley, the Lawd will call me home-uh! Please pay no attention to the man in the airport bathroom stall blowing a twink and smoking crank-uh! Forgive me for I have sinned-uh!”

              Christianity is for con men, hicks and closet cases.

      • Doug says:

        I find it hard to believe that the Red Chinese would provide such assistance to the Soviet Union after the split and became rivals, but strange things have happened so maybe they did.

        Also, I read that every four or five years the Vietnamese fly Ho Chi Mihn’s body to Moscow, quietly and without ceremony, where it is then given the same treatment.

    5. R.B. says:

      “The body shown during procedure is NOT Lenin`s body”

      +1.
      Have seen this NTV programme years ago myself.

    6. Nebu99 says:

      Russia is a great country! And Lenin is her great leader! Hail to mother Russia! Hail to “grandfather” Lenin and his son, Vladimir vladimirovich!

      yeah, they do have one thing in common: they both speak fluent GERMAN and were both supported and sent by Germany! (the Wilhelm II-Lenin, Hitler-Stalin, Kohl-Yeltsin and Schroeder-Putin connection is obvious).

      All the same shit.

    7. Wowa says:

      There is only face and hands preserved from Lenin

    8. Chris says:

      Far out! This is very interesting. Thanks for posting it.

    9. Texas1 says:

      Is that a Russian Orthodox church next to the tomb?

      • Texas1 says:

        It must be St Basil’s.

        • illlich says:

          St. Basil’s is on the other side of the square, closer to where the photo was shot from (please– a Russian Orthodox Church with a RED STAR on the top?)

          I heard Lenin is alive and walking the earth as a flesh-eating zombie. I think he wants brains, as they removed his brain to study it.

    10. grazny says:

      HEh he’s skin looks like rubber..

    11. I am says:

      All who loves lenin is fag is PIDORY

    12. Sturmovik says:

      Saw the tomb back in the early 80’s. I still have red 3D Lenin pin looks just like him in tomb. Soviets said they were atheists but Lenin was their Jesus, Moses, Muhammed all rolled into one.

    13. gozino says:

      That’s really amazing

    14. Thank you for the post! I’ve jerked alot!

    33. TeratoMarty says:

      For any who are interested, the book “The Mummy Congress” by Heather Pringle has a fascinating interview with some of Lenin’s last remaining Mausoleumists. I find it intensely creepy that the Mausoleumists were given the best medical training and equipment in the Soviet Union, to care for a dead man, while we living had to make do with semi-skilled butchers.

    34. drbuzz0 says:

      wow. He doesn’t look as good without the warm lighting and such. Looks like his hair has lost all color and his body is not nearly as good condition as it would have seemed.

      I wonder if he needs to get serviced like that so often how long the body can last before it really starts to fall apart. Since that time there have been better techniques developed that wouldn’t require such servicing, like that used on Eva Parone.

    35. Sharps says:

      I think it’s time to bury or cremate what is left of this human being. At present it just represents a gross and morbid spectacle more in keeping with a Victorian freak show.

    36. the only says:

      lenin, you’re great people!

      Only for think different and speak about my different ideas I was tortured. I was put in a drawer as if I were an object for a week. They beat me on many occasions.
      I was put in a solitary cell with no toilet, water once a day for 5 minutes, without light or sun light, no soap or dental paste, using same clothing for 8 months for the crime of not sharing the ideas of the Big Brother. Eating “food” the animal don’t eat. One of the time they beat so hard in my lower back, was necessary one surgery. After the surgery I became paraplegic for the damage in my spine.
      All for the big crime of think different and speak about it.
      For love my country and freedom I am not a traitor, or other qualified you gave to me. I don’t think bad about you. I think you are product of the very thin scope of knowledge and opportunities to learn. If you learned from you were a baby, white is black, it’s normal for me the way do you think. Sorry I don’t know your native language, if is Russian. I would love to know if you read English, I will send you any kind of literature for you learn the true.
      By the way I told you my age. How old are you?

      Have a nice day, because I believe in God, I wish you God bless you and your family.

      Why do you said that about myself if you don’t have the remotely idea what kind of person you are talking about?
      I don’t receive any paid from any government. The problem for people like you don’t understand people can have own ideas. Because you are a parrot of dead regimen don’t mean I have to be like you.
      Read my other input in this blog and you will know more about myself and my opinions.

    50. Bill says:

      You’d think the way they get him out of that goo, an arm would pull off, or his head would fall off! I wonder if they can plastinate him now? Maybe, the goo is already some kind of ploymer? Nothing like a country trying to be modern in today’s world while simultaneously carrying around their “mommy” (I mean mummy!)!

    51. johnny says:

      Im not fully educated as to what Lenin did and what he was all about. I should read more about him. I am American and hate to see such poor repesentation with some of the posters here. For that, I am sorry. You are right with most of your assumptions about Americans, but not ALL of us are shallow, prejudice, weak-willed & ignorant. Just most of us. hhahaha

      Ive seen pictures of USSR and it appears to be a beautiful land. I hope to visit someday. I see many beautiful women there too.

      Russia is like a place on the edge. She is not Communist or Democratic. Lennin’s corpse remains, but the government he established is gone…or is it? In USA it would be like having a mummy of George Washington on display in front of the White house! Freaky!

      There is something wrong with the symbolism of the embalmed body, they embalmed the dogs from space also on display. In a way it looks disrespectful when I am sure it was not meant to be originally. He led a revolution, a peoples revolution reportedly. The skill sets of the embalmers are of importance? No the respect of a person is important. Maybe he should be buried. My mother told me about stories, I have no intention of ever entering a grave to view a body. I won’t even go to museums anymore either,they made me look at an ancient mummified corpse. I remember my grandparents, it was like they were sleeping to a small child. They put makeup on them like dolls or something, they never wore makeup. They were cold to the touch…strange customs we learn such things, but is it right? Maybe I’m superstitious, but superstitions were usually for a reason…just like folktales…

    59. las says:

      I thought I would mention I am reminded somehow of an old poem that I was taught in childhood from nursery rhyme books. Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, little boys are made of frogs and snails and puppy dog tails.

      puppy dog tails….no I don’t like this and you made me look at those photographs also. It looks like a shell….
