Russian governer calls for burial of Lenin's body
An influential Russian governor seen as being close to President Vladimir Putin today called for Vladimir Lenin’s body to be removed from its Red Square mausoleum and buried, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.
The statement by Valentina Matviyenko, governor of St. Petersburg, was the latest indication the Kremlin could push for the burial of the Soviet founder whose mummified body has been on public display since his death in 1924.
