Question: Should Lenin's Body be Buried?

A political party in Russia has launched an online poll asking whether the body of revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin should be buried. Lenin died Jan 21, 1924, and his corpse was embalmed and placed in a specially-built mausoleum in Moscow's Red Square.


The pro-Kremlin United Russia party launched the poll on the website www.goodbyelenin.ru and asks only one question: 'Do you back the idea of burying the body of Vladimir Lenin?' The question requires a 'Yes' or 'No' answer. At the time of this posting, 70 % supported the proposal of burying Lenin and 30% were against.

Given the amount of work it takes to keep Lenin in good shape, they should just give up and bury him. ("Burried" only one 'r' BTW!)
