The USSR and the CPSU have been gone for more than a quarter of a century, and the body of the leader of the proletariat still rests in the mausoleum on Red Square. For a long time, kilometers-long queues of those wishing to honor the memory of Ilyich have not lined up to him. There are more and more proposals to bury his body in the ground. So far, the Russian authorities do not dare to do this. There are still many excuses for why Lenin's corpse remains in the heart of the capital, where life boils, children walk and solemn celebrations take place.
Communist supporters against
After the debunking of the communist dictatorship during Perestroika, for the first time, a proposal was made to remove the body of the main ideologist of the 1917 revolution from Red Square. This happened in 1989. Then the proposal had the effect of an exploding bomb. The party members, loyal to the ideas of socialism, could not allow such "blasphemy".
Generation "zero" knows little about the leader of the world proletariat. But the Communist Party still has many followers, and in a multi-party system, respecting their opinion is simply necessary. This is one of the laws of the democratic existence of society. According to various polls of 1911-2016, about 36-40% of Russians are against the removal of Lenin's remains from the mausoleum. This situation has not changed yet.
State Duma deputy from the communist faction Nikolai Kharitonov, during a political debate with Vladimir Zhirinovsky (LDPR) in 2011, said that the memory of Lenin should not be destroyed. Many Russians respect the personality of Vladimir Ilyich (the bulk of those 36-40%). Insulting their feelings can lead to serious destabilization of the political situation in the country.
In memory of the past

The fact that the removal from the mausoleum and the subsequent reburial of the remains of Lenin could lead to "the division of Russian society" was expressed in early 2016 by President Vladimir Putin. Many Russians believe that it is impossible for each subsequent generation to clean up the monuments of previous eras. Otherwise, the conclusions will never be drawn, which requires a rethinking of the tragedies and bloody revolutions of the past.
Bad sign
There are also many legends and legends why Lenin's body still lies in the mausoleum and more than 13 million rubles a year are spent on its preservation. Over the years, Orthodox companions and even church fathers have made bad predictions about this fact. Blessed Alipia of Kiev foresaw that after the reburial of Lenin's corpse a war would begin in Russia.
Elder John, a schema-monk at the Church of St. Nicholas the Ugodnik in the Yaroslavl Region, foreshadowed the complete destruction of Moscow after the removal of Lenin's body from Red Square: from Moscow will remain. Sinners will swim in salt water for a long time, but there will be no one to save them. They will all die. Therefore, for those of you who work in Moscow, I recommend working there until April. The Astrakhan and Voronezh regions will be flooded. Leningrad will be flooded. The city of Zhukovsky (Moscow region, 30 km. From the capital) will be partially destroyed. The Lord wanted to do this back in 1999, but the Mother of God begged him to give him more time. Now there is no time left at all. Only those who leave the cities (Moscow, Leningrad) to live in the countryside will have a chance to survive. It's not worth starting to build houses in villages, there is no time left, you will not have time. Better buy a ready-made house. There will be a great famine. There will be no electricity, no water, no gas. Only those who grow their own food will have a chance to survive. China will go to war against us with an army of 200 million and will occupy all of Siberia to the Urals. The Japanese will dominate the Far East. Russia will begin to tear apart. A terrible war will begin. Russia will remain within the borders of the times of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. Reverend Seraphim of Sarov will come. He will unite all the Slavic peoples and states and bring the Tsar with him … There will be such a famine that those who have accepted the "seal of antichrist" will eat the dead. And most importantly - pray and hurry up to change your life so as not to live in sin, as there is no time left at all …”. Better buy a ready-made house. There will be a great famine.

City's legends
Around the fact of the existence of the mausoleum and the body preserved in it, there are many unusual urban legends. According to one of them, embalming was carried out with a rite of black magic. In place of the seized brain of the leader, they allegedly placed some kind of occult signs inscribed on a gold plate. They have been keeping the body in the mausoleum for many decades, despite the change in the political system and other changes in the country.
According to another legend, a secret psychotropic weapon is kept in the mausoleum. Carrying out the body of the deceased can allegedly lead to its activation. There are also stories that the mausoleum is a negatively charged ziggurat pyramid that sucks out their energy from people passing through Red Square and translates something negative into the environment.
The latest version originates from the theory of the Nazi doctor Paul Kremer, who believed it possible to influence the human genotype by means of radiation directed from a dead body. He even conducted classified research on this topic. According to legend, the Chekists somehow took possession of the results of his experiments and used them in the mausoleum.
One way or another, Lenin's body is still on Red Square. Disputes about his reburial are ongoing, but so far no definite decision has been made.
