Today 138 years from the date of a birth of the leader of world proletariat V. I.Ulyanov (Lenin).
Photo: Lenin’s mausoleum. 1930. Arh. Shusev. Object № 545 UNESCO World Heritage.
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.
