Lenin Mausoleum, Walking Tour 

Lenin’s preserved body clad in a white shirt and black suit is in a glass display, in a special chamber with separate entrance and exit doors. It is located in the border of Red Square which is made with granite. In open hours, tourists can enter the building and after observing the tomb, leave through another gate. Lenin’s body has been there since his death in 1924; it only had been transferred to Siberia for a short period of time as Moscow was under intense bombardment in World War II. During the years 1953-1961, the preserved body of Joseph Stalin was placed beside Lenin’s body but then it was taken out and buried outside of the tomb. There is a platform above the tomb which in official ceremonies makes place for Soviet officials to stand there and watch the parades. On visiting days, all ways linked to the Red Square close off and tourists can only enter from one entrance in a queue. The queue moves slowly and after observing Lenin in complete silence it exits from another gate.
The exit way was designed to place the grave of other famous individuals along the kremlin wall; like Brezhnev, Stalin Dzerzhinsky, John Reed (American author who wrote ’10 Days that Shook the World’), Yuri Gagarin, Marshal Zhukov and Igor Kurchatov.
