Scientists say it is possible to continue preserving his body for centuries to come if the right environment is maintained.” The cost of preserving him is around $210,000 a year. Lenin is maintained by a team of scientists who freshly embalm him every month. Approximately 2.5 million people visit Lenin’s corpse annually.

[xxii] Lev Timofeyev, Russia’s Secret Rulers: “In an important, often shocking expose, a journalist dissident who was jailed by the Gorbachev regime argues that little has changed in the former Soviet Union The KGB is strong as ever, maintains Timofeyev, in opinion buttressed by his interview with ex-KGB general Oleg Kalugin. Moreover, he reports, former Communist Party apparatchiks hoard billions of rubles, grab private property and create ‘underground’ political structures that enable them to retain much of their power and privilege.” https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780394586397
