Very silly, that have not left different forms of window apertures and balconies on the right and left wings.
According to a legend, architect Schusev has brought to Stalin for the signature 2 projects divided by vertically axial line. Stalin has signed. Have constructed. (you will not go in fact to speak, that you, comrade Stalin have not understood).

Today 138 years from the date of a birth of the leader of world proletariat V. I.Ulyanov (Lenin).

The Red square in such case is closed. Likely, to not admit a national communistic party. Therefore Lenin celebrates in proud loneliness in the bulletproof sarcophagus.
And how here to not be “is more alive than all the living” if you are not buried with 84 years.
