SEELANGTSy!

I had the brilliant idea of putting on my final Soviet civ exam the
following extra credit question: "Who is buried in Lenin's tomb?" - until I
began to be plagued by doubts of Lenin's current whereabouts. I remember
someone telling me that Lenin had recently (? Past year?) been removed for
maintenance; does anyone know whether this is true or not, and more
importantly, can anyone assure me that he he is (or isn't) currently
residing in his usual digs on Red Square?

Curiously,

Nicole
