The body of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, still resides on display in his mausoleum in Red Square, in the heart of Moscow. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the debate about what to do with his body has slowly built. A news story now states that an informal Internet poll of Russians seems to indicate a consensus of opinion -- remove him from his
literal and symbolic place and bury him. For more details on how his body has been preserved and maintained to date, you can click on
this story from Depleted Cranium -- beware, however, as it contains graphic photos of the corpse.
