Russia: 100 Years on from Revolution - BBC News

It's 100 years since the Russian Revolution, an event that would define the 20th century. The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow, where the body of Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin still lies in a mausoleum on Red Square. But for how much longer?

Everybody gangsta until Lenin wakes up

I paused the video and just literally looked at Lenin’s body while thinking “That’s literally Lenin right there. Sure not entirely as he once was but still. That’s the man who changed history sitting right in front of my eyes who died like 100 years ago.” Regardless of politics, that’s just fascinating.

Lenin is just sleeping, he will wake up soon. He's just sleepy.

Imagine if you are alone in that room and he opens his eyes

[harrymatthewsmusic]

Fun fact, his body is decomposing, but his skin is so well preserved that hes basically rotting from the inside. In other words, his organs and bones are returning to dust but his skin is not.

Or they could send him on a world tour and make the film "weekend at Vladimir's".

Lenin: *wakes up*
Hey you, who was the next leader of soviet after i died? Trotsky?

Random people: It was Stalin

Lenin: *W H A T*

If Lenin gets evicted from the red square he can come stay at my place. I’m cool with that.

If you believed that you could eradicate poverty and injustice forever how many people would you kill?
Lenin is a divisive figure, some think he was a tyrant and a dictator, others thing he was a champion of women's and workers rights.
One thing no one can deny is that he's one of the world's most important historical figures

A poem by Bertolet Berescht German poet🔹
They say
When Lenin passed away🔹
A soldier guard from his mausoleum🔹
Told to his friends🔹
That I did not want to believe his demise🔹
So one night
Slowly and silently🔹
I walked next to his body🔹
And loudly screamed in his ears, saying🔹
"Lenin ! exploiters are coming"🔹
Lenin didn't wake up🔹
And it was only then I realized🔹 Lenin has demised🔹

Incredible how Lenin has been preserved for so long

[BBHighlights]

I disagree I think Lenin isn’t a lost relic, but a symbol of russia’s past and future
