Lenin's Mausoleum - a monument, a museum, and in fact - tomb, located in the heart of Red Square. According to the widespread version, the idea of embalming Lenin belonged to Kalinin and "for" were made by almost all the Bolsheviks who won at that time. Only Trotsky reacted negatively to this idea, who called this message "real madness."
In the Mausoleum it is forbidden to keep hands in pockets and to remove the leader of the world proletariat to a mobile phone or other equipment.
However, later studies indicate that " that the idea originally belonged to Stalin. He believed that simply denying the existing religion is inadmissible and it is necessary, together with the national idea, to create a practically new religion, a cult that will become the basis for a new system. As the "god" was chosen by Lenin, and as the main priest - Stalin himself.
It was at the Mausoleum that the so-called Post No. 1 of the guard of honor was for a long time. This continued until 1993, after which the "first post" was abolished. Now the guard of honor is serving at the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
