The Mummy. With English subtitles.

The Mummy. With English subtitles.

The first-ever documentary film to present a comprehensive history of Lenin's Mausoleum, its occult roots, and the spiritual symbolism embedded within it by its creators, as well as the role of mausoleums in world history.

Andrei Afanasyev filmed this project in a wide range of locations, from the ancient pyramids of Egypt and the ziggurat temples of Mesopotamia in modern-day Iraq as well as numerous cities across Russia.

The film explores the traditions, scientific methods and symbolism of mummification together with the personality, life and actions and circumstances surrounding the death of the man left unburied within the mausoleum.

By means of previously unknown facts, once classfied documents and names of individuals concerned, unique artefacts and its wide-ranging locations, the film seeks to answer a pivotal question: why was it deemed necessary to deify a man who was himself a militant atheist, and what should we now do in light of this legacy and with the mausoleum itself?
