At Mausoleum added «STALIN» by letters «LENIN», but in 1961, the XXII Congress of the CPSU decided that the «serious violations by Stalin Leninskiye Testaments …» blah, blah, blah, and the body softly rendered dark night, and buried where it is still – in the necropolis of the Kremlin wall, the second tomb after Suslov from the Mausoleum.
And now the legend:

He believed, that put him in by mistake or intentionally evil functionaries, and if the leader of people knew, then surely all would be resolved satisfactorily. As a sign of devotion, and as proof of his guiltless escaped prisoner live hermit in the woods and the hollow of the rock bas-relief of Stalin. Then with a pure heart went surrender.
