Introduction

Lenin's Mausoleum is an iconic building located in the center of Moscow's Red Square. It is constructed with red granite and black basalt, and has a viewing platform. Designed by academician Shchusev, Lenin's Mausoleum houses Lenin's crystal coffin, which has preserved his body for 93 years. The preservation method used for his body is classified as cutting-edge technology and a top-level state secret. Due to financial constraints, only routine maintenance and repairs are currently being carried out. Visitors must enter from the west side of Red Square and are not allowed to bring bags or cameras. After exiting the mausoleum, they must head west and pass by the reviewing stand to reach the back of Lenin's Mausoleum to pay respects at the "Famous People's Graves." The Russian people have always remembered and cherished the precious artifacts and long history inside the mausoleum.
