The mausoleum of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, has witnessed both reverence and indifference over the decades. Initially a site of homage, lines dwindled after the Soviet Union's collapse in the 1990s. As the mausoleum prepares for repairs until 2027, interest has surged, suggesting that many seek a final glimpse of Lenin, preserved in time. Despite shifts in political sentiment and societal interests, the site continues to draw a mix of tourists, families, and soldiers, symbolizing a complex relationship with history.
In Soviet days, thousands lined up from all over the USSR to pay homage to Vladimir Lenin, but that reverence gave way to indifference as the Soviet Union unraveled in the early 1990s.
The mausoleum's impending closure for repairs until 2027 has sparked renewed interest as people line up for a last peek at a figure frozen in time.
