The Lenin Mausoleum will be closed to visitors from February 1

The Federal Security Service (FSO) announced that the Lenin Mausoleum on Red Square in Moscow will be closed to visitors throughout February. It is reported by TASS.

“From February 1 to February 28, 2022, the admission of visitors to the Lenin Mausoleum will not be carried out,” the FSO said in a statement.

Earlier, a deputy of the Moscow City Duma, a member of the federal political committee of the Yabloko party, Sergei Mitrokhin, proposed moving the body of former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin from the mausoleum on Red Square and burying it next to relatives.

In turn, State Duma deputy Anatoly Wasserman said that the Lenin Mausoleum should not be closed to the public.

He stressed that even if all the accusations of the destruction of Russia against Lenin were true, this does not mean that now his body should be hidden from the eyes of people who consider him worthy of respect.
