An American artist David Datuna wants to buy Vladimir Lenin's mummy for a hefty million dollars and build a copy of the Mausoleum in New York, his press office said. Because American society "is tired of aggressive capitalism ... and is moving towards social-communist changes".
Vladimir Lenin’s body has been lying in his Mausoleum – or tomb – for 95 years now. But polls say that Russians want him gone from the Red Square. A centenary mummy should be rested at peace where they belong – in a cemetery. But not so fast! In this video, Anna will explain why Soviet authorities kept Lenin's body, how they did it (and how North Korea is connected) and dive into a world of confusing Russian laws preventing his relocation.
