No,it shouldn't be removed. After all, Lenin was part of Russian history and it would be good if people from around the world could learn about him.

p.s Lenin was once my partner in crime

Mao and Ho Chi Minh are both on display, so why not Lenin?

NO!, no no no no no i must see it before its removed. its not only history that we will be losing but state-of-the-art scientific technology that the USSR developed. i heard he looks a bit plastic, but given that his been preserved to avert the natural decomposition process, i say good job.

i think Lenin's body has gone far beyond what the Original man symbolized.

yes, many who believe that he is the symbol of a hallowed political ideology think that he shouldn't even be mentioned in our current society. but i believe in order to learn from history, we must be able to really understand the circumstances and the people who were involved.

and what better way to demonstrate this than show the actual people.

the defence rests.

To many Russians, for many years he was a hero, almost a demigod! We now know that Lenin was almost certainly a ruthless mass murderer almost on a par with Stalin.

By seeing them dead, then go home and sleep for 2 years with the light on?

I'm not a big fan of corpses. They're scary and could turn into a zombie. Not very educational. What's even worse is that he is shiny. Shiny corpses are very very bad.

Mao's body is on display in china.

I mean, if people want a very thrilling experience with these public displays Madame Tussauds should just collect them, put them in the wax museum and not tell people they're real. They're too shiny anyway.
