The preservation of Lenin's body serves to reinforce the quasi-religious veneration of him by the Communist regime, illustrating the lengths to which political leaders will go to maintain authority.
Lenin's body remains enshrined for public viewing today, contrary to his wishes, exemplifying the manipulation of historical figures for political power.
The embalming and ongoing display of Lenin highlight how leaders can transform the deceased into icons that bolster the state’s legitimacy, manipulating the collective memory of history.
Lenin's legacy, encapsulated in his preserved body, continues to fascinate and galvanize both Russians and foreigners, prompting reflection on the nature of political power.
