The Mausoleum of Lenin, also known as ‘ ‘Lenin’s Tomb’ is situated in Red Square. It is the final resting place of Vladimir Lenin, the first Premier of Soviet Russia. His embalmed body has been on display there since he died in 1924, with the exception of a few years during the war when his body was evacuated to Siberia.The original mausoleum was made of wood andwas designed by architect Alexei Ivanovich Abrikosov. He was given just three days to
complete its construction. The tomb was built to enable people to say their last goodbyes toLenin. Five days after Lenin’s death, it was decided to place the tomb by the Kremlin Wall
in Red Square. More than 100, 000 people visited the tomb within a month and a half. By
October 1930 the tomb had been enlarged using a variety of materials , such as marble,
granite and labradorite. It is an impressive structure, influenced by the great pyramids
and the tombs of the Middle East. As the mausoleum is only open three days a week (Tuesday – Thursday) for a few hours each morning, people normally have to wait in a
long queue to see Lenin. Many place a single flower in front of him to pay their last
respects. It is strictly forbidden to take photographs or talk while inside.
