The topic of the debate is whether to remove and bury or leave the body of the communist leader Vladimir Lenin in the Mausoleum on Red Square - the main attraction of Russia.

The issue is considered from various angles: from an ethical, moral, religious point of view.

Should a referendum be held on this issue?

Nina Andreeva is trying to indicate who benefits from raising this issue at all.

In her opinion, a counterrevolution has come to power and now a regime of dominance of the financial oligarchy has been established in Russia.

Many simply want to provoke a situation that would lead to destabilization of the existing balance in society.

Nina Andreeva gives the example of the burial of academician Pavlov near Vinnitsa, whose body rests in a glass sarcophagus.

There are also similar burials in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

Andrey Makarevich tells how he was at the excavations of ancient Indian settlements in Peru, where tribal leaders were also mummified, but their remains were kept in a room closed to people and taken out only on ritual holidays.

The discussion is attended by: Eduard Limonov, leader of the National Bolshevik Party.

Gleb Yakunin - deputy of the State Duma of the first convocation.

Konstantin Borovoy - deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, leader of the Party of Economic Freedom.
