Should Lenin Be Buried?
Sunday April 25, 2004
As Russians celebrated the 134th anniversary of V. I. Lenin's birth last week, a lingering question resurfaced: should Lenin be taken off display and be buried? After Lenin's death in 1924, a group of Russian scientists were gathered together and invented an embalming system that allowed the founder of the USSR to be preserved, thus put on display, indefinitely. Though Lenin's body has not been deteriorating, his popularity has. According to the British Independent, a new opinion poll says that 56 percent of Russians want Lenin to be taken off display and buried.
