Lenin's Mausoleum
The Center is sometimes criticized by its subjects of study. Gennady Zyuganov (leader of Communist Party of Russian Federation) criticized VTsIOM's objectivity when evaluating media request results of VTsIOM study on Lenin's Mausoleum stating “I think this is an unprofessional study”. According to VTsIOM, Russians supported burying Lenin’s remains in a cemetery rather than keeping them in the mausoleum.
