Here lies Lenin

Lenin's Mausoleum, Red Square: 92 years and counting this week.  This is his second mausoleum, the first one having been built of wood; he has been in this one since August 1924.  The mausoleum is incidentally a UNESCO World Heritage site, being part of the greater Red Square complex. He'd freak out if he were to get up and witness the capitalist activity that now surrounds him.

An interesting and recent article on what it took to get him onto the state he is:  In the Flesh: Russian Scientists Work to Preserve Lenin's Corpse.
