Lenin’s Mausoleum has been the subject of heated debates for decades after the Soviet Union crumbled, as some urged authorities to bury him, while communists firmly opposed such a move. Proponents of burying Lenin usually cite Orthodox tradition to lay remains to rest, costs of maintaining the tomb, alleged necessity to bury the communist past of the country and other things.‘Wake up!’: Deranged man tries to revive Lenin with … olive oil.

 Lenin’s Tomb combines the global vision of the best historical scholarship with the immediacy of eyewitness journalism. Remnick takes us through the tumultuous 75-year period of Communist rule leading up to the collapse and gives us the voices of those who lived through it, from democratic activists to Party members, from anti-Semites to Holocaust survivors, from Gorbachev to Yeltsin to Sakharov. An extraordinary history of an empire undone, Lenin’s Tomb stands as essential reading for our times.
